How about the ability to sustain drives by converting on 3rd and 5-10 yds!

If our offense can keep our Defense off the field and rested like that consistently...holy shite watch out.

I think it was Dellenger who retweeted someone who said LSU only coverted 4 first downs through the air when they had 7-9 yards to go in all of 2016.

We did it twice in the 1stQ on Saturday.

There's a definite progression in the terminology.

First, the center and guards leave the huddle. Then the wideouts. The tackles seemed to leave just before the QB/and runners/blockers/other eligible receivers.

I kinda dig the determination. That was solely based on one opponent, but I like the decisiveness of the play calling. Amd once the players lined up, there was just enough time for a shift or two before the snap. It really didn't give BYU any time to get a good read on what was coming.

Give it time. Looks like this offense can be great once everyone has settled into it fully. Something else that I haven't seen discussed much is that Guice didn't look 100%. Nowhere near it, actually. Once he gets there, this thing will blow wide open.

That is the key. That's what made 2013 the most offensively productive year in LSU history.

Speaking of 2013... yeah, I know not enough data yet but I'm comparing anyway since it's relevant to the subject at hand:

Plays/gm: 2013= 65.3 vsBYU= 75
Yds/play: 2013= 6.94 vsBYU= 6.4
Penalties: 2013= 6.92/56.3 vsBYU= 10/86

I'm drawing no other conclusions, long or short range. than:
A) yep, penalties are a problem
B) it was indeed an offensively productive game, no matter the run/pass ratio.

Yeah, we ran alot. It was nice to see it. Why? we were running into 6 & 7 man fronts. How long has it been since that?
