I remember when everybody kept asking why we don't run it out of shotgun more. Then that's what we ran out of pretty much the whole bama game and we all know how that turned out. Then everyone screamed to go back Under center. Ahhhh lsu fans


I love when folks out themselves here as people who have no real understanding of football and do their best to unintentionally scream from the mountaintops that you can pretty much ignore anything they have to say regarding the game of football in general since they don't know WTF they're talking about.

Do you remember folks complaining about why we ran single receiver routes on 3rd downs inside of our own 10 yard line or on our own side of the field? When we had already established we had an incredibly inept punter and punt coverage unit? When we knew we couldn't flip field with Special Teams and were outgunned on the DL as we averaged about 275 on the hoof per man in that game?

Because that's EXACTLY what we did multiple times on 3rd down in that game in the first half alone with Harris essentially as a first year starter.

Do you remember the pick he threw? Do you know how many times we put that on tape and how many formations we ran it out of when we threw to the sidelines there?

I love hearing people try to defend our offensive staff and their utter and complete ineptitude in terms of scheme, playcalling and adjustments in game. Looooooooove it!

There's no hiding the fact that Les is like Mike Ditka coaching the Saints and drafting Ricky Williams...thinking somehow the same things he won with and did in the mid 80's will translate a decade later in a game that constantly evolves.

Wait...I'm sorry...I was off on a rant. You were busy talking about sh!t you have no clue about. Please...allow me to let you to continue to act as if you know more about the game than you think you do.

What are you talking about? I wasn't defending the coaching staff or arguing about the game plan. I was simply saying they ran it out of shotgun plenty against bama and it didn't work but nothing was working that night. Never said it was a good or bad idea. Both types of runs will have positive and negative plays this year

You mean when the TE was wide open underneath and Harris threw an incredibly inaccurate ball, likely because of his injury.

That should have been at least a 3-4 yard gain on 1st down.

Here's a link to the harris interception. It wasn't some great play or read by the defender.

there's that excuse again, as if first-year starters can't play well in college ball.

6 of the last 7 national champions have had first-year starting QBs.

3 of the last 5 Heisman QB winners were first-year starters.

Ricky Williams couldn't hold Leonard Fournette's jock.
