What I see that can be incredibly successful is throwing over the middle on drag routes or skinny posts, some quicker throws over the middle where the big WRs can use their body to get open. Use double move routes where the smaller WR can fake going over the middle then turn back toward the sideline. Mix things up in the run game. I still haven't seen any kind of screens, whether it be WR or to the backs. I saw on many occasions when the defense sends pressure the middle of the field or the flats are wide open. Like that play from Brennan to Williams, we could have hit them almost all game with that.

If Canada can come up with plays to hurt a defense that has an aggressive DL or front seven, with quick passes and perfect these plays with his offense then LSU can slow that down, and it can take lots of pressure off of our OL. Especially to start the game, then once we slow that front down a bit, we can start running the ball and build from there.

I don't understand how an opposing offense can find ways to do that against LSU but we can't find ways to do that against them. We could also run patterns behind these shorter routes so that when the defense does react to the shorter stuff we have an option over the middle to hurt them deep as well. Canada is smarter than what he's shown. We must figure out a way to make defense's pay for an aggressive DL and front seven.

Execution is a big factor in our offense not being as successful but the play calling could be better as well. LSU responded when we started to attack the DL and its aggressiveness, but we can do an even better job of it start to finish. That's how every team will attack LSU so there needs to be a plan to attack that while having a back up plan to attack their response to it.

Surprisingly, i agree with you. But its like Canada is not seeing the same things, and it's obviously not working.
