re: does our offense even gameplan for other teams?

It certainly does not seem that they do. Miles has the same game plan no matter who we play, run the same plays until they work. I know running has been our strength but constantly putting your young QB's in 3rd and long situations is not a good scheme. If running plays are not working, passing plays will open up the run eventually. When we see 9 men in the box and still run the infamous quick pitch....well we all know how that has been turning out. Even incomplete passes DOWN the field will help open up the run game. Everybody in the country knows we will run the ball up the middle on 1st and 2nd and then try some little short screen or slant to convert 3rd down. If the simple minded fans can see this, I am quite sure opposing coaches are catching on. Real LSU fans support their team no matter what but we are tired of seeing this crap. We consistently have one of the most talented teams in the country but we underachieve. I know we have a young team but if we are going to lose can we at least go down swinging instead of running the ball and trying to play the field position game 24/7. In the past we have relied on our great defenses, but we have not had that type of dominance lately so there needs to be a better offensive gameplan. Who cares if Jennings or harris throw an int? I would rather see us actually trying to do something instead of being conservative and getting spanked.
