If you're curious how Steve Ensminger called his games as OC over his career.

This is all the data I could find (rounded off to the nearest whole number) on Steve Ensminger in the years that he held the position of offensive coordinator. I was unable to find any data on the few years in the 80's where he held that position at McNeese St. I didn't post any of the stats for the defenses on the teams he worked for, but it looks like most were bad to average other than a couple of years at Texas A&M. For the most part, he had fairly balanced teams averaging 70 plays per game with 40 rushes and 30 passes for 350 yds per game and 26 points per game. Looking at some old film, it looks like he mixes up the passes with short & long stuff and doesn't seem to be afraid to throw it in the middle of the field. That's about as much as I could come up with today. Hope it satisfies the curiosity in all of us until we get to see it for real tomorrow. Personally, I'm pumped up. I hope he calls a great game. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Man you must've drilled down for that info. Nice find.

20+ years ago, however, I find it hard to believe it would be relevant as these guys evolve with the state of the game.

Thanks for the extensive data digging; much appreciated!

If Ensminger has a good offensive concept, why his present was not felt in LSU offense under Cameron/Miles, especially when the offense was struggling?

Appreciate the effort but what really matters is that the players execute the plays called and that the play calling is appropriate for the talent he puts on the field

Less than 200 yards passing per game? That's not going to cut it on this board.

Thought he was also OC at Auburn but can't recall the years. Missing from the analysis, but otherwise, amazing bit of homework. Thx for sharing.

Went to school with Steve. He was a great friend of mine. I am just hoping he does a great job. No home, turmoil. I just want to see Steve catch a great break.

Think they also said he took over OC for a bad auburn team which won't help his numbers.

Wasn't his son a QB recruit a decade ago?
