re: LSU Breaking Down Other Schools Spread Offensive Strategies

No matter how badly wanted or needed, the reality is over the last couple years LSU hasn't had the accuracy to feature "plenty of passing".

You realize who's problem that ultimately is right? There are 3 star and 2 star QBs that have excellent accuracy in college and we can't get our conveyor belt of 4 star passers anywhere close until they are seniors.

Evaluation, Development, Execution, Offensive Philosophy specifically passing), all of it has been a joke. Don't give me one year with a 6'4 cannon arm prototypical 5th year senior JUCO with guys who two years later are pro bowl WRs.

I've been saying this since the season ended. Why are we running a pro style offense when we can't execute the passing part at all? Why do we run that type of offense when we have in state QBs and nearby Texas QBs built to run spread offenses?

In 3 years vs LSU (including his first year vs us), home grown QB Dak Prescott, with scraps from other SEC states, completed 60.4% of his passes for 709 yards (7.38 ypa) 4 TDs 1 int, 44 car 189 yards (4.3 ypc) 3 TDs. In 3 games vs LSU he put up 900 yards and 7 TDs with vastly inferior talent. Do you SEE where I am going with this?

Switch to spread. Use all this insane talent we have at QB and WR and RB and create an unstoppable force. LSU's offense could be better than Clemson's offense if we got a guy in here to run spread and Miles kept his fingers off (except for making sure that we still power run effectively).

Air raid teams like Texas Tech (with even worse talent than Miss St) and TCU had great power run offenses. Oklahoma has a great power run offense and they grabbed an early 30s air raid OC from ECU to be their coordinator. Clemson didn't miss a beat when Chad Morris got hired away. Clemson has a great run game and they mostly just utilize the QB and RB (Gallman and Watson combined for 2632 yards 5.37 ypc 25 TDs). UNC's is even better as their top 5 rushers averaged over 6 yards per carry (#3 rusher 400 yards 5 TDs). QB Williams and RB Hood combine for 2411 yards 6.4 ypc and 30 TDs.

Look how easy Chad Kelly came in and dominated straight out of JUCO compared to Mett who even had a year to learn the offense before starting straight from JUCO.



Stop being the salmon. Hopefully change is here.
