re: What is this boards obsession with air raid type offenses?

The thing this kind of analysis misses, which I know as a fan of a team that ran the spread and is GLAD to be leaving it, is that those are not the same kind of running yards. Not all rushing yards are the same or accomplish the same thing.

Bro, this is horseshite. Go tell opposing players of Oregon who had to fake injuries because they were worn out after giving up 300+ rush yards when the team carried the ball 45-50 times. That's breaking your will no matter how it's done, or by who.

Spread running yards are all gimme, misdirection, “we tricked you into putting too few in the box” yards.

Spread running yards are not imposing your will, grinding out the clock, crushing the other team’s confidence yards.

Lol, you don't think those teams above ran offense like that? These guys, including Clemson and Ohio State, run power rush games that have some misdirection. You still feel 220-230lb RBs barrelling downhill. QBs that are able to take the ball and run 10+ yards at any given time is a true asset to any team.

If y’all become a finesse team you will regret it, just like we did. The true recipe for success for LSU would be to keep your legacy of punishing ground and pound rushing intact but find some way to incorporate competency at the QB position.

lol,
y'all had a few problems. First, the Mastermind behind you offense in Kingsbury left after one year. Then you lost your only remaining rushing threat after the next year. Y'all were way more of a pass happy finesse team who didn't realize you needed a run game until 2 years ago. Bad OC hires and average RBs, kept y'all from improving the run game

Going to a spread would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. I’m telling y’all.

Nope, it will be exactly what LSU needs. If we put Narcisse or Brennan in a Sterlin Gilbert ran offense, we will improve dramatically.

Oklahoma had a RB ground and pound to 201 yards and 2 TDs on 26 carries (his best rushing performance of the year) vs UGA's #2 ranked rush D. Zeke ran for 230 yards and 2 TDs on 20 carries on Bama's #1 ranked rush D in 2014 That was the most they ever gave up in Nick Saban's tenure. Both of those performances happened in big games too
