You people realize that when we had a qb, Crowton led LSU to it's best scoring offense ever, right?



Yeah I realize and remember it well. But I view that fact with a little more depth than maybe you or many people would. I don't just look at stats and go whoooopiieee records, blah, blah.
Some reason's we have those records is we played in 2 triple overtime games that would not have happened if the play calling wasnt so vanilla to let other teams come back on us instead of doing like what OU does and put the nails in the coffin. With the skill guys that LSU has they should roll up serious numbers year in and year out in my opinion. Is Crowton good? Yes he is but he's too predictable and to Vanilla when we get a lead on someone and takes the foot off the accelerator and I can't stand that passive play calling approach. I have a mind set to pour it on and make sure the game is out of reach and let my guys play ball instead of getting conservative like we did against Kentucky, Arkansas, Ohio State, Alabama, etc. Or this year against Bama and Arkansas was enough to make me puke. Do you watch the way OU attacks teams every year or how Florida, USC do it when they are up? They keep the peddle to the metal and hammer their opponents unlike LSU who constantly just lets teams that have no business being in games stick around and then we have this high drama BS every year at he end of games to try and pull a victory out.

If you watched the way the play calling drastically changed after LSU got up on ARK 30-14 and the way the staff handcuffed JJ then you would understand what I'm talking about.

You still have to put the points up bro, and that's what we did. Sure the playcalling seemed suspect this year and that's because we had a qb that couldn't make the throws. Crowton has a great passing offense. If you watch, we have people running free over the middle all game, but Lee wasn't making the throws. That's not a reflection on Crowton. Crowton did the best he could with a struggling QB.
