re: Is Our Offense Too Complex?

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

Those teams run those offenses with great athletes. Yet LSU has generally been successful in stopping them because they have had great athletes with experience on defense. That is not the case this year.

It is easy to always focus on the games which are not successful. LSU has been consistently successful in what they do. Perhaps the times are really changing, but lets give it at least a five year period of comparison before making a judgment. Teams no longer run the wishbone and the veer for a reason although they were successful offenses. Wasn't that long ago that Rich Rodriguez was the darling of the offensive gurus.

It just may be that teams are catching LSU and to a lesser extent Alabama in the down cycle and both will begin to ( hate to say it) restore order next season.
