Because tonight looked exactly like every low scoring game in Les Miles' tenure.

Toss dive
Stretch
PA Bootleg Right
Punt

So 31 points is now considered "low".

They both do. And they are doing an excellent job. The offense is light years ahead of where it was pre-Cam. Our only issue on O now is figuring out how reliable/trustworthy/consistent Jennings and the passing game can be.and that's just a natural growing process with a young inexperienced QB, especially in a run-first offensive philosophy.

I wouldn't take too much from ULM other than we won big as we were supposed to....we got bigger fish to fry in the coming weeks. The offense is going to be fine. It'll have its ups and downs, but we are assured of having a productive, competent offense under Cam and this O talent IMO.

Tonight was a golden opportunity to get Jennings and the receivers more reps...and it didn't happen.

Failing to take advantage of such opportunities will inevitably hurt us down the road.

Miles' tenure
Oh, you mean the winningest tenure in school history? Yes, I did see a striking resemblance: 31-0.

Also, maybe you didn't notice, but we were playing ULM. No need to get creative with the offense when you can pound it down your opponent's throat all night.

I don't understand. What exactly are you complaining about? That the gameplan didn't work / wasn't successful? That 31 points wasn't enough? That we didn't use our full creativity on offense against ULM?. . .

ETA: Didn't know if my first reply went through.

The coaches have clarified this COUNTLESS times.

CAM THE OC calls the plays.

Les will chime in with a specific plays every now and then (fake punt, etc) and he can veto a play, but Cam calls the plays.

Cam

Calls

The

Plays


(the above was said by Miles himself)

I really don't think Les wants to embarrass a in state school. If they would've scored more on the plays they ran so be it. I don't think he wanted to get to fancy all it was about was securing victory!!!

I get a feeling that this game ended up getting played like a scrimmage where the staff was trying to work on tightening up the plays that are going to be their strengths for the rest of the year.

I am not the type to buy into "Saving the playbook for the SEC rivals" conspiracy theories either. One reason that I say this is because they ran a number of pass plays out of the double TE I-form where there was really only one route runner. I only see that kind of thing when Les is feeling frisky because the defense is disrespecting the pass with a super stacked box.

They also ran that quick hand off to the FB way too many times for my liking but Williams does seem to e the best FB for that play. I loved his leg power tonight. I got the feeling that they wanted to see him run that play strong and earn their trust with it.

There were other reasons but you get the point. I just think that they used this game to fine tune their strengths for the start of the SEC slate.

I would say cam but, after seeing so many toss dives, i'm not real sure.

Guess we need to hire leach so you would be a happy pass happy fan, again...defense and strong rushing attack wins championships, a proven fact...
Since this was a "glorified" fan paying & on TV scrimmage, I like the way the Tigers played. We got the win, got some meaningful reps for our "young" team, and played solid "D"...
