What would you call on First Down and 10?

Statistically, first down is the most common down but apparently that isn't so for LSU. Since we have so much trouble calling a first down play (I mean every drive and reset of downs starts with this play, it's not like it's some mystery), what would you call on first down?

Also, if you have any good ideas, please call in to Les' show tonight and give advice, after all, the regular callers on the show provide nothing meaningful.

This. 1st and goal, run that shite.

1st and 10 at my own 5, run that shite.

1st and 10 at my own 20, run that shite.

1st and 10 anywhere from my own 40 to their 20, throw that shite.

How in the hell is this not so for LSU?

1st down is the most common down FOR EVERY TEAM because its the only down that's guaranteed in every series.

Really? You're brilliant then. Because against Ole Miss we threw the ball on 15 first down plays and ran it on 14 first down plays.

Please post less.

We're 54 out of 83 pass attempts on 1st down, 39% of our total pass attempts. Throwing for 905 yards, about 41% of our total passing yardage.

After a five-yard penalty on first down, it's not first-and-10 anymore. It's first-and-five.

Hope that helps.

Morons like hurricane mike do not appreciate stats.

I wouldn't bench Hill. He'd play 99% of the snaps if we have not yet secured victory.

I would call a bomb. I would call a bomb on every single first down!

Does it hurt to be so stupid? Not a rhetorical question - completely sincere.

I'd call a touchdown pass every time. I don't understand what's so difficult about that....

It's a moot point. Cameron scripts his first 75 plays of the game, regardless of down and distance.
