I as under the assumption it was a power running/play action passing offense with a 60/40 run to pass ratio
I think that is ideally what most LSU fans want to see, and what we are likely to see with Mett this year.

With the backs yall have I dont see yall playing much spread or read option and that's what Sandberg plays in HS. He never takes a snap from center in ANY of his highlights.
Even with all those backs last year, we ran a good bit of read option when JJ was in. Les will generally tailor the offense to fit his players' skill sets (or what he perceives as their skill sets, anyway).

I agree about our offense. Does anyone really know what our offense is? All we know is that Les wants guys that can run and talk of wanting to employ some spread option sets. Our backs are fully capable of running the spread option. Micheal Dyer wasn't exactly a pure spread RB and he did just fine in it. We would need someone to set the edge though and that may be where the offer to the Gray kid from Tennessee comes in. He's that speedy, little edge setter we lack. Brazil or White could do it also. Not every spread is like the Florida one with Demps and Rainey. They just didn't have a big back worth a shite to use. Oregon also has tried to employ bigger backs as well but they transferred before contributing.

Sandberg would be okay with another guy in the class as well but I'd rather have Johnson from AL over him. Kincaide, Ferguson, Staver and McCarley are my preferences at this point. Cody Thomas would be one if not for his possible baseball future.
