It is well known that Les' football victory philosophy revolves around ball control, defense, and special teams

In Les world, the QB is viewed as just another player who 'handles' the ball and can make a mistake, Not someone who distributes the ball, makes plays, and creates problems for the defense. It's the "keep away" offense, and it's why we lose so many close games to high ranked opponents.

Think of all of the 3, 7, and less than 10 point losses we've sustained over the years because our offense can't put up enough points to put the game away, and the defense - tongues wagging- are left on the field too long to try to stop a multilateral attack from a top 10 opponent by playing prevent defense.
