re: Regarding Denbrock’s Play Calling

Most of the routes are outside the hashes and one on one matchups. The formations are very predictable and rarely confuse defenses (outside of the 1st play on Sunday). The routes are often long developing timing routes. Daniels has shown hesitancy in throwing those balls. That offensive approach just doesn't fit him. To me, LSU has to have more one-read, quick hitters and use multiple formations more to create the matchups you want so Daniels can get the ball out quicker.

The passing game looks FAR more explosive with Nussmeier at QB because he is not hesitant to throw the ball on contested routes downfield. The downside of that is he's going to throw more INTs because of it. BUT, if this is the passing game the OC refuses to modify then it may be better to play Nussmeier. I don't say that as a knock on Daniels. I think he does some great things Nussmeier can't. But he's just not a match with what Denbrock wants to do. So if the OC isn't going to change his approach (and he's shown he isn't) then the only other choice is to change the QB. Otherwise, expect to continue to get the same results.

Good coaches put their talent in the best position to succeed. Bad coaches complain they don't have the guys to run their "system"
