Canada's selection of plays are going to be based on his opponent, that's what I got from the BYU game. In fact, I originally was worried he might abandon the run too much. LSU fans will eventually see a display of LSU's passing abilities but it will be dictated by LSU's next opponent, who may not dictate such a display.

I think game situations and how they are playing out dictate play calling more than opponents.

Canada has clearly stated that his goal is to create mismatches, "get our best player on their worst player".

We'll see, but that will be interesting with some of the defenses coming down the stretch, where their "worst player" is a former 5* All-American.

I read somewhere he only used 10% of the game plan he had for BYU...So im sure he used maybe half a page of plays...it wouldnt surprise me if he only used about 10 plays total just mixed them up.

And I highly doubt Chattanooga will present problems to our rushing game, hence, we will see a very similar game to the BYU game (with more rushing YDS in my opinion).

I am just fine with this. Rush the ball all we need to and use the pass plays and cute stuff for when we need it.

Can we call him the Wizard now. I know he can't compete with Cam Cameron for ridiculous hype, but maybe he can take the number two spot from Crowton.

Canada is smart enough to adapt based on the opponent rather than continuing to run into a brick wall like Miles.

The Patriots are a good example of the right way to run an offense.

I forget the team (Maybe Minnesota) a few years back had this unbelievable run D. Like you literally couldn't run on them (was it the Williams wall?) Anyway, did the Pats try running? Nope came out and threw every single play.

Miles was too stubborn to adapt. Sometimes your best can't beat their best. You have to change.

Canada will adapt and do what he thinks has the best chance of succeeding rather than just presuming you can do what you want regardless of the opponent's strengths.

Well O has put a pitch count on Guice of 25 which means in a stretch 30. Said he does not want to wear him out.

LSU's next opponent is Chattanooga, so they won't be dictating shite, so no reason not to practice the passing game against our next opponent.

Miles' offenses were also based on an opponent: 1946 Army.

Well, last year's Chatanooga Team held Alabama to 332 total yards.
Last week they gave up 366 to Jax State, about 50:50 run to pass yardage.
