Canada's "window dressing"

I believe it was Danielson who would absolutely not STFU about the "window dressing." It's not a gimmick offense. A gimmick, by definition, is a tactic meant to draw attention..
..so OK, not always a gimmick. On some plays I'm sure the goal is to draw attention to a set or a player.
But I would like to think Canada will take advantage of a defense who isn't making proper adjustments throughout a game. (i.e. The UF linebackers who stayed put.)
The purpose is all about misdirection and favorable matchups. It's creative and different. If our players can start executing, I do believe that Canada is exactly what LSU needs on offense.

Yet when Auburn does it, it's considered a Mickey Mouse offense

I don't give a frick what anybody calls it. I want to get the ball in the end zone.

I can't judge canada's offense well when the o line is so bad and the qb is incredibly mediocre. Etling almost has no chance on longer developing passing plays cause he has to run for his life a second or 2 after the ball is snapped. We had 3 true freshman o lineman playing against experienced Florida d lineman. I don't know how you scheme around that.

Only concern I have with Canada’s offense is between the tackles running. After six games LSU isn’t getting the interior rushing we are used to. There are not as many run lanes between the tackles or second level runs.
Outside run game is good.
Passing game is even ok. There were several receivers open during the Florida game. Etling just wasn’t seeing them or wasn’t able to get the ball to the receivers.

I know it's tradition to have every analyst and pretend they all have vendettas against LSU. But I recall Danielson being rather complimentary of Canada's offense, saying O should let him run it. Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else.

It was obvious that O stepped away from the offense. O Learned a lesson I'm sure. When u run jets in all directions w/ different personell it opens up the power run and qb runs. If we had Lowell he would have probably rushed for a buck 50. Point is they had to defend the perimeter and focus on DW/DG so even Etling had good running lanes. Even though he won't break one just getting 4-5-6 yards at a time is enough. Goin forward Etling needs to find a little rhythm throwing. Just enough to back the D up some. Those screens to the backs & pop passes to the TE's is a start. He just needs to hit those consistently. He
Has to hit some throws early to back auburn up a bit. Otherwise it's gonna be a long day sat.

The question is will teams be able to adjust to what we are doing or will Canada have more wrinkles up his sleeve. Auburn will be s supreme test.

True....but that still doesn’t let the OL off the hook....we need all that misdirection and gimmicky sweeps because our OL can not just run the Miles offense (power run) at this moment....if you want an example of when O tried to run the simpler Miles offense, look no further than the Troy game...I don’t remember seeing our OL blowing Troy’s defense off the ball....we didn’t start scoring until a true freshmen QB ran the gimmicky offense....

I thought Canada did a terrific job of setting up plays. That play where Williams was wide open down the sidelines was beautifully set up etling just missed him. he called a really good game despite having no passing attack whatsoever

10 plus years of the toss dive that everyone in the universe knew was coming and the big boys on the DL of Bama etc. could stop and now we're complaining about LSU using misdirection from our Offense.
I've been screaming for LSU to do some misdirection for years and the only teams to do it well I.e. Ole Miss, aTm, AU, and last year Clemson are the only teams who've beaten
Bama.
Sabah hates it cause it negates his size, speed advantage.
Keep up what you're doing Matt Canada cause this is going to lead to an LSU victory over Bama that we all want.
