re: Miles Says Offensive Scheme Is Not The Problem

I get it...all of them.

Would we have been more successful against MSU in the spread, probably not. Because we don't have a QB fast enough or strong enough to run it effectively.

why not run a modern rushing scheme that isn't the spread? like what alabama uses (single back, multiple TE/WR combos, etc)?

you can run the ball without relying on the i-form and 2 TEs or twin WRs. miles forces LSU to run this, though

Miles said. "It’s execution really, of stuff and all the things we’ve done in the past.”

Really Les?

So we a new team basically, new backs, new receivers, new qbs and they should execute the same ole plan. We are dead in the water.

no mention of what type of spread

Duh... the good kind of course. The one where they score all the points.

In what fricking magical scheme will 7 guys on the O-line be able to block 10?

See, I think you see the term "scheme" and assume it means running the ball against a loaded front.

When Miles says "scheme", he's saying that he is sticking to what he has always done.

What reasonable people need to realize is that, with the right personnel, Miles' scheme is one that works (see last year).

What Miles needs to realize is that, when the right personnel doesn't exist, falling back to running the ball into a loaded front might not be the best alternative...even if the other alternatives are also not great.

The reality is, this offense is going to struggle against any quality defense whether we throw it more often or not.

No doubt that execution is the problem offensively and defensively - but the best defense is a real powerful offense all of the time - not three and out most of the time.

Les is a good coach but stubbornness is absolutely one of his virtues - he still needs to recognize that a play call other than run left and run right when the opponent loads the box should be considered - we're still too predictable the majority of the time.

Just as stubbornness was the downfall of Dinardo. Ive never seen such a group of premadonnas aa in college football coaches who are so hell bent on proving their points to a fault.

HOW IN THE HELL WOULD HE KNOW

Miles is delusional. Does he think the front seven will suddenly play like a stout SEC defense? Wow. I do not see it happening. Look for LSU to get mauled by running offenses. This has been the case thus far this year. MSU has a good team. How good remains to be seen, but it is not chopped liver. The remaining schedule looks rougher than MSU.

What you just said MontanaTiger sums it up in a nutshell.
