I would agree, but it seemed much improved

From what I saw, I would say the biggest change was the incorporation of the short and intermediate pass game, but I don't know how much of that had to do with Harris vs Etling as opposed to philosophies of Cameron vs Ensminger. Harris simply couldn't throw a short ball, was so baffling.

Regardless of that though, my take is that under O/Ensminger, the offense had more of a "boot on the throat" approach to scoring whereas Les/Cameron would reach a comfortable winning margin and call it a day. But that only showed itself against weaker defenses, when it was against better defenses, the gameplan seemed to revert back to "ok, lets rely on Fournette/Guice, and that better work because we're not going to throw".
