re: Gruden's comment on MNF about offensive talent at LSU

If you don’t see we implement these aspects in our offense then something is wrong

we did in the Texas A&M game as well as throw on 1st and 2nd down. Prior to that game we didn't do much of the above.

When your inexperienced skilled players can't execute the plays using those aspects mentioned above then you have to do something to try to get some type of production from the offense. The offense didn't show enough consistency at QB & WR to open up the offense.

You need to open up your offense when you have inexperienced and less talented players in order to get any type of production out of them. Hard to get production when you only pass when the defense knows you have to and constantly run into stacked boxes. Every other team in college ball manages to do it. That's how you build confidence in your young players and develop some kind of a rhythm on offense and in the pass game.
