I see a lot of talk about Clemson's offensive philosophy.

I want to see LSU use mis-direction and putting the ball in players' hands to create opportunities for the talent that LSU has.

ALWAYS: players over playbook

What you are reading on Clemson O (from me anyways) is not a new scheme / same players but rather a new way to use same players. LSU has the weapons. Too often seems to warn the enemy before firing.

IMO LSU was trying to move in that direction all season and you could see what they want to be doing in the second half of the bowl game. I think next season we develop even more in the direction you speak of.

It helps your system when your QB is a freak athlete who can wiggle out of trouble and make incredible plays when the system breaks down. Clemson's system wasn't what gave Bama problems. Deshaun Watson is what gave Bama problems. Dude was amazing... And they still lost.

lol did u watch the game where we still are running long developing routes and sending our most unatheltic TE across the middle who is no threat unless on the goaline? Clemson was running pop passes all night.

When you have a QB with the type of talent Deshawn Watson has, you can do wonders with an offensive philosophy of a wide open attacking style.

Exactly. We can still run the ball effectively out of the spread/Gun. Probably more effective then the vaunted Les Miles power I

I feel like Miles is stuck on American Revolution warfare where they just stand there and shoot muskets at one another while the rest of college football is already doing covert ops.

Watson is the best QB, and possibly player, in the country so he is going to make any offense look good.

The difference was really the OLine, you keep Harris clean and not under constant pressure and he will be better as well

Clemson lost the game because of special teams breakdowns and busted coverage. We lost the game because we couldn't move the football. Comparing scores doesn't fix this problem. Yes, Watson had a great performance, but the Clemson gameplan is what tends to beat Bama. Neutralize their size and strength in the middle by getting skill positions on the edge.

Unlike Clemson, we were never competitive offensively, if you don't think we can learn something from their approach (not necessarily throwing 50+ times, but getting to the edge), then you're just really not that bright.
