Agreed.
5 DB’s covering your 2 receivers gives sooo many more options.

I'm going claim that Jerry Sullivan knows more about football than your little brain ever will. Who the hell are you to question Sullivan

We will keep scoring zero against Alabama if they keep this philosophy.

So 95% of the other college teams are doing it all wrong and LSU is running a new age offense.
Got it!

bullshite, you just have to get the ball out of your hands faster to not let your qb take a pounding if the line is struggling to block(in 4 wide sets or spread formations). The limitation comes when you max protect and only have 2 routes, you can run a plethora of things in max protect but they didn't do it and they played into the defense's hands with just 2 routes to cover and can commit more to the run.

I'm sure this has been said many times, but this is why you don't have a 90 year old on your staff.

And this should tell you all you need to know about why LSU continues to struggle on the offensive side of the ball.

I’m sure that’s what the NFL did back in the 70s when he was a young coach full of new ideas

Hey what's wrong with that? It's what we did when we had Y.A. Tittle and Jimmy Taylor. It worked then.

He said his favorite tv show was the Brady Bunch and he can’t wait to hear the new Beatles stuff.

Play action is worthless if your run game isn’t working. LSU hasn’t successfully run the ball on Bama since like 2012.

I would love to have E spend some time with Carmichael down in NOLA.

Worth pointing out you can line up like max protect, especially after doing it against a couple of looks, and still send 3 or more in routes.
It's called deception. You CAN pass out of run formations (as above) with several in routes, or you can run out of pass formations (like the spread) and still have blockers.
Within certain limits, you should be able to run almost any pass play out of any formation (angles & timing apply).

Do you have a direct quote? Lord I hope that's not what he actually said.

They also have check downs & hot routes aka modern day offense.

They wanted to pound teams into oblivion with the running game then run playaction when teams loaded the box up. Without Fournette or Guice and without terrific runblocking that gets muddled up quickly though
