Time of Possession: LSU offensive strategy

I say lets run the old Texas Tech or new WVU offense if we are going to go 3 and out every possession. How is the D going to be on the field more then it already is?

Hey Charles.

I do agree that when we win the TOP we are successful. Teams that control the TOP have 2 things in common. They can run the ball all day and convert 3rd downs. But why didnt we win the TOP vs UF? We were running against 9 men in the box so they stuffed it all day long. And we were what 1 of 13 on 3rd downs?

I do believe the key offensive stat for Les has been TOP. This equates to his successes on defense as well

It is no coincidence that the two greatest Superbowl defenses--the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens--had solid running games. The combination of a solid defense, and a solid grind-it-out offense that burns game minutes and allows the defense to rest is he perfect storm for a guy like Chavis. This is not rocket science.

Up unitl the last 2 games of last season, this is what we did. In most of our games--especially at the end of the season--LSU rushed for more than 200/game yards in 2011. I think the only game that we ran for less than 100 yards is the only game we lost.

If we can run the ball effectively, we can beat anybody.
