My vote would be the reduction of dropped passes...
Two years ago pre-Cam our WRs dropped tons of passes (except Jarvis Landry)...
I am not sure if it's putting the receivers in better positions or QB play, but our WR seem to drop a lot fewer passes than we use to...

He improved Mett a ton. The jury is still out on what he's done with AJ and Harris.

I'm a bit perplexed as to why UGA and TAMU can plug in first year starters and not miss a beat, but we have to keep the training wheels on. I expected more to be honest.

He's not the WR's coach

The offense was excessively complicated under Crowton and Cam did a good job of keeping it relatively simple. Also has had a huge impact in just teaching the QB position in everything from footwork to how to break down tape properly, what to look for, etc. Good play-calling too. And he's a HUGE recruiting tool.

i remember watching a game last year and someone broke down out passing routes and showed how they sprung one wr of another depending on what the defense did, but they had to leave one either in single coverage or open.

Before last year, i haven't seen anyone even try and break down out shitty plays for since 2007

I remember reading that Cam immediately elevated the intensity at practice to match that of the defense. This was a huge difference maker.

As for what is the biggest difference on the field??

Communicating and getting plays in quickly and getting the offense to execute them properly and at a fast pace.

The passing game is the obvious answer... or maybe I should just say QB play. This season will totally prove to us all that he is that home run hire that Les needed to keep the Tigers in the NC hunt every year from now on.

Our general offensive philosophy. We are now a team that wants to throw downfield in order to open up the run.

Kragthorpe/Stud were played more of a conservative style. Lots of quick passes to keep the D honest but primary a run-driven offense. Crowton was all over the place, and at times just gimmicky. And Jimbo's offense basically relied on superior athleticism rather than a quality scheme.

LSU offense is continually plague by penalties. Illegal procedures, confusion, unwarranted time outs, and poor execution. The link shows LSU as a leader in penalties in the SEC, with abysmal Florida as the worst. Was there one screen pass in which LSU executed successfully?

Play design. Those passes were dropped a lot of times because the Receivers was not or marginally open. I don't know how many times under Studrawa that we had a passing down and only ran two receivers out in the name of Max Protection.

The play design we have now gets guys open.

Overall professionalism. The guy has done it at the top level with success for a decade. He seems to be a steadying force. It remains to be seen but I also think our QB recruiting evaluations have improved.
