It's widely known that Cam and Les practiced every play under the sun at practice but come game time they would stick to only a handful of plays. Hence why LSU's offense looked the way it did.

It's crazy any team would practice 80 different plays...game plans are supposed to limit the plays and the team works on those plays all week.

He was so conservitive cuz he was scared to turn the ball over. That approach only works if U have a dominant defense & ST's.. Back in those days we won the games like auburn because our punter would be pinning them back inside the 20 all game. Last week when u punt it 30 yards they only need two or three first downs and with a good K they putting 3 on the board. We just haven't had the defense in recent years.. This year we have the D but not the ST's. And obviously he wouldn't make the adjustment offensively by being aggressive and out scoring opponents.

How many times did we hear Les blame poor offensive performance on "Execution"? It was never about doing exactly what the defense expected you to do like run into the 8 and 9 man front for a whole game. It was never about being too predictable. With Les is was always blamed on lack of execution. Thus he would run 80 plays and believe it was going to be better. Big Fail.
