I like the idea in principle, but do you take the risk of ruffling several scholarship players, plus future recruits feathers for that?

i'm not talking about using it as our main offense. something to use 10 times a game or so, maybe more if it's working

i don't think a john williams or jerad mitchell would mind getting more PT while playing option QB

i'm not "Worried" about the RB position, but with keiland/scott/murphy getting up there, we haven't really replaced them (Due to depth). you can't say that we are deep at RB going into 2010 without pratt or michael

---

Well, Murphy will be a senior. I think we can see his athleticism and what not... but sometimes it just takes players longer to put it all together.

Ridley will be there.
Ford.

Calhoun/maybe J .Williams.

That's 4 maybe 5 guys.

Throw in Singleton. Seastrunk and another freshman.

We're up around 5-6.

I guess I don't see it.

Oh, gotcha. Well then, yeah, of course.

I thought you were talking about whole sale offensive overhaul

if he weren't a RB or DT, i wouldn't be critical

those positions = easy transition if you have the physical tools to play

i'm not accepting seastrunk as a RB at LSU until he signs his papers AND makes it to campus

I wouldn't even need the squad to get that "creative." I would just like to have seen some more simple stuff like putting Scott at FB and KW at tailback in the I-formation. Hell, we saw it for one half of one game... it was unstoppable, and then we just decided that it was too easy I guess?

biggest problem crowton's had at LSU

switching to he option would have been dumb...would have ben a step backwards for the program

I want to go the opposite way and see Crowton opn it up.. JJ/RS at QB, a single back or even an empty backfield much of the time, 3-4 WRs or gadget players always on the field spreading out every inch of the field

lee didn't look that bad when we were running spread

lee looked horrible when we went into les ball

blame Les for Lee sucking..nice

You were on that early Jarrett Lee bandwagon and just cannot fully admit that he was a lost deer in the headlights

I just hope Jefferson continues to work on his mechanics. Anyone who watched him in high school and then again this year knows that he looked almost like a completely different quarterback. If he can resist the urge to be complacent, I think he could be a very solid QB next year with the ability to make plays and not just be a "game manager."

i have no doubt that JJ will be a player

we haven't had a manager at QB for long stretches (hatch was a manager) since the 90s

the option is vogue right now. i don't see how it's a step "back"

LSU showed that superior athletes can shut it down... it is obsolete hence why less teams are running it nowadays

Any time you confine your team in space like the option does it can be shut down more easily than using the entire field to your advantage and putting playmakers in space

Florida has figured it out... they should be the model of what the modern day offense should be... even Pro-Style attacks like when JaMarcus was here, or OU and USC this year, are what offense should be in today's landscape
