In response to the OP's question, in all likelihood it did. Here's why.
From somewhere after the UF loss in '06 through '08 Les was willing to play aggressively on O (else, the Crowton hiring makes makes no sense). The '08 int fest doomed that. Had Ryan played in '08, I think we beat UGA, Bama, and Arky. I don't think we would have beat UF in the Swamp. OM would have been a toss-up (OM was playing really well down the stretch in '08).
But our O would have rocked in '08 - good OL, great group of WR's, and good RB's. If after a prolific '08 O, it would have been more etched in Les's psyche that it's ok to play aggressively on O.
Whether Perrilloux stayed or not, it is unlikely we would have seen an int fest in '09. And if not, it would be reasonable to think Les would take a different tack.

Spot on. 2008 with RP looks totally different and Les might've not become scared of the forward pass. 2009 would've been a good year too (would RP have been on the 2009 team? I think so) although probably not a NC team.
