Playing Beat The Play Clock Is 100% On The Coaches

Do people honestly think Cameron is calling this offense??? To answer your question, Cameron calls a play then Les argues it and overrides it then calls toss dive

Yes, Cameron is not prepared with a game plan its obvious folks. Even a good youth coach calls plays that set up the next play or series.

Question: When your O-Line is struggling with pass protection on play action should you stick with something that isn't working or put Harris in a shot gun change it up?

Fire Mile/Cam immediately

Miles makes it extremely difficult to play QB at LSU. It's hard to be successful, and as a result, you have to take relentless criticism from a passionate fanbase (of course, only after that brief honeymoon period that every LSU QB initially gets). On that note, just so I'm clear, is Scott now the new "savior" of LSU's offense? Or have we just moved on to next year's freshman?

When the offense isn't tailored to fit around what the qb does well, when they aren't allowed to go through progressions on receivers, when the line is average, these are the things that happen.

Harris needs to have a code red set of plays to choose from for when this happens so they don't burn precious 2nd half timeouts.

Only use a handful of pesonnel groups anyways. It's possible once the play clock gets too low, Harris should be able to call a play from those similar to hurry up. (Unless a crucial 3rd down, etc)

I'm just at a loss as to how this offense fails at the basic functions year after year. And then I watch another guy on the sidelines, Lane Kiffin, who is in complete control with 100% confidence. The contrast is stark and depressing.

Harris has been starting games for now his third year at lsu. And he looks like he has made no progress in his development at all. He looks just like he did in his first action as a freshman against Auburn. Actually he is worse, because he has not developed and at the same time he has lost his confidence and fearlessness.

This offense is not working and it has not worked in a long time. And the soul sapping thing about all of this? Nothing will change.

I think a little bit of freewheeling as just a matter of principle might be good. I'm not talking entire quarters, or even drives, but some.

If I had to choose, the opposite of a HUNH. Get a first down, huddle, pick a play every 3rd first down or such.

A little bit of backyard ball swag with these without a doubt highly skilled players just might do wonders... but in moderation.

But yes, what you're suggesting is basic strategy. It's not even that risky. It's not like LSU running the same plays out of multiple formations (Auburn, Bama, TCU) or running a butt load of plays out of the same formation (Oregon). We have staple plays out of some very familiar formations. For the record, it's less risky to run multiple plays out of the same formations because of ball exchanges.

that's the unforgivable sin for miles and crew.

recruiting dual threat guys for their pro style attack and forcing them to adapt to it rather than adapting to their talents.

Not fitting the offense to the qbs strength for years now is the biggest problem I have. The other is not letting the QB have decision ability. We coddle them, dictate every playcall and they have no ability to call their own plays or look for the open receiver. Just throw to the guy we tell you. Thats the huge problem with the passing offense ever since the Jarrett Lee debacle turned Les into a pussy.

CLM was quoted in today Advocate as saying " we had a play calling communication problem & it was not on the QB". As typical with the local press, there was no follow up question as to who, then, it was on.
