this board can be tough. i have noticed lately that responders are fighting back though. my opinion is that while crowton was officially OC for the cotton bowl, the game plan and play calling was taken from him. i have no proof of this except the circumstantial proof that our offense looked organized (instead of confused), our QB looked comfortable in the pocket and we didn't mass substitute packages that revealed our upcoming play. in short, there isn't a way in hell crowton was calling the shots that game.

Gary just found the play action in his playbook after the arky game, it was stuck to the back of the short side option.

Agree with Grandad - granted, the staff obviously realized the mismatch/advantage outside-deep, but the entire game was so out of character for Crowton

LSU GrandDad, it was Crowtong. People will refuse to accept it, but when he had 5 weeks to prepare, he did just fine. His issue was game planning in 1 week and then playcalling. He was able to come up with an effective gameplan and didn't have to make too many changes to it in that game.

It was Crowton calling the plays, don't try to let your P&G glasses try to convince you otherwise.
