Is Our Offense Too Complex?

Yes, I realize that sounds ridiculous, but it seems our insistence on multiple formations and packages (a pro-style offense, in short) puts too much burden on the QB. If you need a 5th year senior to be efficient in your offense, it's probably too complicated. Maybe it's because we try to be good at everything that we're not really good at anything. We don't have an identity. We don't do anything consistently well. And we're not able to adjust on the fly. It baffles me that we have virtually no short to medium passing game and we can't utilize tight ends as even a remote passing threat. How is this possible? How difficult is it to execute quick slants and crossing routes? And if it's hard, why can everyone else (including high school teams) do it so effortlessly? Honest questions. I'm not an X's and O's guy, so these are just simple observations that most have already made. I just haven't heard a sensible response to any of them.

hut hut hike
awkwardly toss ball to running back
run forward into pile of large bodies
2 yards, a cloud of dust to boot if we are lucky
like splitting atoms

Do you even know what complex means? The terms you are looking for are simplistic and predictable.

No.
It probably was under Crowton (or just a bit too diverse), but it's been greatly streamlined since 2011 or so.

Do we even practice passing the ball? Doesn't seem like it.

Yes it really is. It goes back to the way high school offenses are run. They are so simple that QBs need to be re taught how to play QB when they get to college.
How many times have we heard a QB is having difficulty taking the snap from under center because he never had to do it in high school.

It would seem like, to me, be if our quarterbacks were to pass with a quality of competitiveness, which they do, our defense would in fact get those opportunities in the ball game to have a want to defeat the opponent.

I think so. QB is always confused every year. We can never do the simple things. Teams like auburn and a&m have a handful of plays with variations. Most teams look like they practice the plays they run and lsu usually looks like kids in the backyard making shite up in the dirt

No...
Complete opposite of complex.
When we pass the ball, it's slow developing routes with no complex route combinations.
When we run the ball, everyone in the world knows where it's going and knows we don't allow our QBs to check out of the run to a pass, regardless how many players the opposing D brings in the box. I'm convinced the opponent could bring 11 in the box, leaving a WR unguarded, and still wouldn't let our QB check to a pass.

Toss dive, option to the short side and punt. Seem pretty easy to master.
Posted on 10/6/14 at 9:43 pm to Cleetus_VanDamme
Run, run, pass, punt is really complex.

We wonder why our online sucks? They have to learn to block for three different offenses and the are all big road graders. None of then are what I would consider agile zone blockers.
Like the qb's. Les and company have recruited top notch talent to do what they are not good at.

Not complex at all. Qb and rb just need to remember right left or most likely up the gut run on 1st and 2nd down. Wrs and o line need to run block. If third and long throw an incompletion to set up the 4th down punt. If third and medium or short, run to set up the punt
