I never believed for one second the offense would change much. A few more throws, yes but nothing more than that. Anyone thinking this offense would get away from running the ball 60% of the time was just dreaming.
what was the breakdown from 2005-2007? The problem with the offense the last couple of years was not that it was too conservative, it was that the QB play was bad. If Mettenberger is closer to the Russell and Flynn than Jefferson and Lee, then the passing game will be more productive. The overall run/pass % doesn't mean much, because they will run more with big leads in conference games for sure. 5-10 more passes when they run 60-70 plays a game is a pretty big jump.

Everyone knows this, although it was fairly conservative because we knew what we had in those two. Which was not much. I blame part of it on the coaching staff not being able to teach them better. I believe a few other staffs could have made them much better than they were.

I didn't expect him to be a star immediately, as much as I love LSU football we aren't exactly the best offensive coaching staff in the country (in terms of the QB). He'll grow but I knew we would be working him in. With the D and running game why take any chances by having him win games more with his arm. I see next year be slightly different but we shall see.

This is all I am asking for.They have time toimprove with games against some weak opponents to work on things.
