I think we have found the offense's nickname. Hope it works.

Times-Picayune/NOLA.com article on Canada installing the offense.

"The initial reviews are in after one spring LSU football practice under new offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

His concepts can be described as ...

"Fast," wide receiver D.J. Chark. "More plays, faster tempo."

"Designed to get defenses off their toes, make them adjust," returning starting quarterback Danny Etling said.

"Meatloaf," tight end Foster Moreau said with a sly smile.

Meatloaf?

"It's what our offense looks like right now," Moreau said. "There's a bunch of different ingredients, and you're not really sure what it is yet. But you know it's good."

A painful two paragraphs from the article about Les never changing the offense and how it affected Fournette:
quote:

Landry said the scout told him that based on film breakdown, Fournette faced 8-man-plus defenders in the box on 67 percent of his 616 college running attempts. That included 22 percent against 9-plus defenders in the box. "The average for this many (8-plus) defenders is 31 percent, so the attention placed on Fournette by defenses is unusually strong and reflective of LSU's unimaginative and poor passing attack," Landry wrote. "In essence, due to the offense he played in, Fournette was game planned for twice as much as any other back in the college game, making his productivity that much more impressive."

quote:

"I always liked playing LSU because you could just lineup and play them," Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen told me last December at the ESPN College Football Awards in Atlanta. "They never changed anything."

I get the point but we need to keep the meaning but modify with a more fitting term:

Gumbo
Lagniappe

Meatloaf is like Corndog - We can have fun and embrace it but it's not really us.

Wow. Knew it was the case just by watching our games...but comparing Fournette's 8 man fronts to the average just makes it sickening.
