I still contest that Orgeron is the bigger issue here. I'm not saying Ensminger is some offensive genius, but I think he proved this season that he could scheme up a good gameplan and call a good game. Orgeron though, the man is so damn conservative. He plays not to lose. We saw it all season, the offense would show signs of life then they would just go into a hole and play this conservative brand of football.

I agree, but not for the reasons you outlined.

All Ensminger showed was that the analysts on staff are really good at scripting the first few drives, after that, play calling was shite all season long.

You can point to UCF all you want, but the fact is they are the equivalent of Troy. We out talented them by a mile.

If you take out 7 OTs and the bowl game, this offense was piss poor all season long.

??? If O is conservative, what was Miles? Our offense is opening up as fast as our players can assimilate. What games are you watching?

We won every game we went conservative. IF anything being too aggressive cost us the Florida game but won us the Georgia game. Being too aggressive kept UCF in the game late in the second quarter. Had the ball with 3 min left in half and never once ran the ball. Gave UCF the ball back and they scored a TD. Being conservative isn't always a bad thing. If the Atlanta Falcons would have been conservative in that super bowl they win the game.

I'm surprised this isn't talked about more. O is more conservative than Miles.

Also, whatever clock issues Miles had, O matches those issues in regards to TO's and play reviews.

I agree, I don't think SE is as bad as he's made out to be sometimes and could totally be a hell of a lot better also but I truly believe O is the limiting factor to the offense just as miles was and SE is just doing what he's told in certain junctures of the game.
