yes

Will this score points for LSU?

yes

Will cameron adjust the offense to attack MSUs weaknesses?

yes

will LSU win?

I think so.



Personally I think that it comes down to our QB play. I think it's stupid that people think we are just going to lineup in an I formation and just run it at MSU. Did you not watch the second half to the Wisconsin game? how about the Sam Houston Game? I don't think you should say that because ULM stopped us in the first half than MSU is going to dominate us. I honestly think Miles was trying to give his o-line confidence, we are still going to lean on running at people, with our huge line. We need to lean on the run, Jennings is good but not good enough to run the offense.

It is all about our O-Line this year. We go how they go. I seem to remember the rant giving the Heisman to all of our running backs preseason, now we don't want to run? Cam will press our advantage where ever it is. If that means punch them in the mouth with the run all night, I like it! Also, if they load the box, GREAT!!!!! We can and will go over the top. AJ has been hitting receivers when he has had time. Our boys have dropped some balls on him.

This is why I wish we would use the 3 wide shotgun spread as our base offense. You have to cover the 3 receivers so the most you can have in the box is 8. And thats only if you want man on man coverage on every receiver. Most teams dont and drop at least one safety out the box...either way you get more running lanes and ability to get to the second level as well as more passing options. It just makes more sense.....an eye formation one wide set really provides no advantages for the offense other than maybe short yardage situations. Being able to double the one receiver and still have 9 in the box just makes it so difficult to run. It becomes just a scrum of humanity. But unfortunately we will see this formation all too often.

GREAT post

Yes and Miles will continue to try to run the ball against the stacked up defense

Man, I hope you're right! Run, run, run may give Moo State a chance. We will have to be efficient in the pass game and I believe Jennings can do it ...

Does the manner in which a team win matter? Didn't the Super Bowl champs have a young QB, who managed the game? A solid defensive and special teams unit? Oh, and a damn good running game.
What happened to the team with the QB who threw the ball all over the field?
People, this is not a glamour show. Coaches understand the personnel on the team much better than some posters on the Rant. You play to your strengths and the strength of this team is running the ball, and playing sound defense with an occasional pass outside the numbers.

I am not arguing to throw it for the sake of throwing it. I am saying that MSU is built to stop the run. LSU WILL throw the ball some in the first half, probably something like 50-50. If LSU gets ahead by a couple of touchdowns, we might then see 3-1 run to pass ratio for the rest of the game.
