i know the offensive line was bad last yr but i think most of the blame should fall on Crowton for our bad offense last yr the only teams in the sec that had fewer rushing attempts were South Carolina Arkansas and Georgia Jordan Jefferson was a first yr starting qb and Crowton should have ran the rock more Charles Scott was avg 4.7 a carry and Keiland Williams was avg 5.3 a carry Crowton didnt give them the ball enough

I agree that Crowton abandoned running formations too early last season, but this has been beaten to death.

I bet this is going to be a long summer for you...

well, the only games we threw the ball more than we ran it were auburn and ole miss. so let's not act like gary turned his back on the run.

nothing wrong with the offense, just the execution.

but yes, we've beaten this to death. my goodness.

Crowton managed to lead one of the best offenses in LSU history, to one of the worst offenses in LSU history in 3 seasons.

Crowton does this by not adjusting his scheme to the players on hand, instead he forces his scheme onto the players. This explains the train wreck that the offense has become. Not to mention, with the fastest player in NCAA football teamed up with the number 1 dual threat QB in the country - he managed to do nothing with both of them. Miles had to bring in someone from Florida to show Crowton how to use Shepard. I have no confidence he will do any better this year. LSU will not be an elite program again until Crowton is gone.

Williams and Scott ran behind a horrid offensive line and ran up their backs for 1 yard losses more times than I can count. Both phases of the game sucked last year, that's why we were 119th in offensive production.
