Miles never wanted anything more offensively than a strong running game, a QB who could also run, and a passing game that was super conservative and didn't turn the ball over. He might have SAID he wanted to open it up, but he was never going to let it happen. 3 yards and a cloud of dust. That was his perfect offense and he was never going to change.

As Mike Gundy said when he was OC under Les, Les wouldn't do anything that didn't use 2 TE and a FB.

He played slow, jam-packed, big 10 fat boy football with a team deep with speed.

He had the worst offensive philosophy you can think of for the athletes he was bringing in to LSU. The years of ugly garbage offense permanently damaged the LSU fan base.

Maybe now with the 2019 and 2023 offenses they'll see the light and finally let go of the 2 yards and a cloud of dust offensive play style.

Lots here still reminisce about the 50 rushing attempts per game offense with maybe 15 passes.

This.

I remember watching the Arky @ LSU game in 2009, thinking we had enough talent on the field to win the game by multiple TDs, but squeaked out a 3-point win in the 4th. Which worked regularly, until it didn’t, and was never fun to watch.

I knew in 2009 the offense was being choked, and I knew it would last for years.

What a joy 2019 was.
