Here's why I have a problem with all this spread va pro stuff. There are waaaaaay more than two options for offenses in football and guess what? We ran neither pro nor spread under Les Miles.
Watch games on Sunday and show me one team that looks like LSU. Show me one team that tosses the ball to their RB for a B gap dive. Show me one team in the NFL not named the 49ers who are not interested in developing a passing game and who don't stack plays on top of each other to catch the defense off guard.
The offense LSU should run is somewhere in between Texas Tech and the old LSU offense, but there are a lot of different options in between

Nope didn't miss any. Cardale jones isn't a running qb 3ypc 19 yards per game and 2tds the year he started at ohio state in a spread option offense 4tds his entire career. Plus Andrew luck Alex smith Blane gabbert Matt Flynn Christian ponder and ton more ran faster 40 times so wrong on that one and it's pretty racist to say a qb is a runner just because he's black. Blake sims didn't win a national title nice try but sorry wrong again. Jalen hurts also hasn't won a national title so like I said 3 since 2000.

Too fast to type - slow to read

Cardale - how fast he ran and ypc irrelevant. How he was used in the title game is. As stated in my post, he literally ran over defenders in key plays during the title game (didn't the start the entire season as that he was 3rd team). Ran zone read very effectively that game.

Blake Sims - didn't say he won a "national championship". He won the SEC "championship" (as stated in my post).

Jalen Jurts - again host says if/when. Recognizes Bama as heavy favs.

i could care less about skin color. Merely pointing out that if Bama wins this year, will represent a growing trend an shift in offensive philosophy.

I have nothing against pro style QBs. However, having the ability to throw AND run, has proven beneficial for a number of championship squads since 2000.

I prefer a true pro-style offense mixed with some spread elements. However, it doesn't matter what offense you run if your o-line is getting blown up. Fix the line and get a competent quarterback and this team with Aranda's defense will play for championships.

Agreed. I will say I want a run first type offense, a steal your soul running game, but effective passing game that can be counted on to have its act together in a 2-minute drill.

Do you watch "pro" football? Tell me the teams that don't spread it out.

What? I just wanted to know which you prefered. Pro style or Spread??? I don't give a rats arse what is run in the pros or at any other school in the SEC or the Nation.

Spread with some pistol mixed in. I'm also a fan of high temp at the proper moments in a game.
