2011 was a blessing but a curse in terms of offense. and we've basically run that same style since. even 2013 wasn't a magical year when you look at it in terms of where our offense ranked (it was like 36th in the country iirc)


I think people don't get that Cam has a new offense too, but it has the same formation.

I really a commontator breaking down a play really early in the season in 2013. NA dh showed how the routes the receivers ran open up another receiver, and i thought "we probably never had anything that thought out since 2007"

Is it complicated, yeah, but when you can execute it, it runs well, eats clock, keeps the defense fresh, and moves the ball.

those HUNH offense don't keep defenses fresh.

neither does our 3 and out offense

the point about 2013 is taht we had a super elite QB, RB, and WR plus a great OL....and we were still in the mid-30s

i don't think i saw the ravens rely on i-form 2 TE or twins on like 66-70% of plays

just like how crowton basically never ran i-form until he got to LSU, but used it heavily while here (even in your link...go look)

and the HUNH and/or spread option offenses have won more titles than the shite LSU has run lately. you have to go back to 2002 to find an offense like that win a title

the champs in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2013 used a spread option/pistol offense with mobile QBs out of the shotgun

lots of the teams who made the final game and lost ran a spread or spread option offense, too.

everyone else is either Bama or LSU

People think Les won't throw it. When we have a QB worth half a crap he throws it around a good bit. Now a fair criticism could be that cam and Les haven't gotten Jennings ready to be at least competent, but to say Les refuses to throw the ball is just emotional talk and not fact.
