LSU OFFENSE??

I was at the game and found the LSU offensive play calling to be a little "vanilla". They would line up and I was able to call what play they were probably going to run about 75% of the time....from the upperdeck in the stadium. Halfback dive for 3 yards...fall start....leaving second and 12....buble screen that either got a couple of yards or non at all (and sometimes lost yardage), leaving 3rd and long, when we finally tried to go down field. It was much better in the 3rd and espically the 4th quarter, when we finally started just dominating on the offensive line.

I was there too in the upper deck and thought we'd won that game. What do I know.

Ok, but if vanilla is good enough to win the game, then I'm cool with it. Offense isn't always about flash. It's about production. Then again, I have a great play for Crowton to run. Lee pitches the ball to RM, who gives it to Lafell on the reverse, who gives it to J. Mitchell on the double reverse, who pulls up and throws to Dickson on a hook pattern, who then pitches it to Byrd. The double reverse hook and ladder. That shite aint vanilla, its straight up neopolitan with sprinkles on top. And the best part is, it should only take about 20 minutes to develope. Also, that play by itself could be like 5 of the top 10 plays on sports center.

if this is really true, then you should be a d-coordinator, go to the athletic dept. this week and see if you can talk to Coach Miles about joining the staff so you can have some input

the main problem right now is all the D has to do is key off them fullback, particularly when QJ is in, to snuff the run. they mixed it up a little once Scott starting running some at FB which helped. In addition, some of it is probably wanting Lee to get into the flow of the game without too much complexity at the start of the game.

I think the tone of the offense is dictated by the game. You take away a drop here and there, go ahead and push it in at then end, we win by 20+.
We've been used to seasoned QB's for a long time, and that has lended to a more open offense. I think it will come in time, JL is just being brought along slowly, thinks he's progressing very well.
A more aggressive, open offense is definitely on the horizon.

there were more different formations and plays run from the shotgun/pistol in this game than any of the previous

fail. if you mean false start when you type "fall" start, well a false start penalty stops the play. meaning the 3 yard gain would not stand and it would be 1st and 15, not 2nd and 12.

Looked that way to me as well.

When has play calling not been vanilla when we have a young quarterback playing on the road. It was last year in the SECC game and will continue until the quarterback is comfortable with more plays in the play book. They don't want to put the burden for winning the game on a young quarterback. Once it appeared that we couldn't win without Lee making big plays, he was asked to do more. He responded and we were successful.
