re: Is Our Offense Too Complex?

I think there is too much stuff for our young qb's. Clearly they are not executing. That is all the proof I need that there is too much on their plate. I think the issue is that lsu has added some zone read aspects without culling anything. There is so much on their plate they can't execute it at sec speed. There is the two tight run check stuff, under center playaction, the zone read stuff, the vertical passing stuff that cam likes, and a few quick game concepts sprinkled in.

A perfect example from the other night was when lsu ran a simple quick game concept called "stick" its basically June Jones's old double quick out. Qb has a simple read on the flat player. Harris barely glanced way and just took off. To me that screams of too few reps. I think they need to cull and get good at gun runs, quick game, and play action.

I love the approach auburn took last year after the lsu game.they just said screw it, we're going to be a zone read, and zone triple team and run a few play actions with one or two drop back concepts and they sold out on it for executions' sake.

Just my opinion from the outside looking in.
