re: Can someone explain LSU's offensive strategy to me?

Would one of those high flying offenses put any less pressure on the QB? A mis-run route here or there, a dropped pass or two, a questionable call, etc. would be mentally easier?

Here's a fact for you. Les Miles loves run oriented ball control, play stout defense football. That's what it is. That is was it has been. That is what it will be.

Now put your big boy pants on and quit your freaking crying about things you can neither control nor understand.

Its very simple, play to our strengths and away from our weaknesses. So, this year we run and avoid the pass (within reason) and last year we did both (we had QB that could manage a passing game).

Our strategy this year is to run the football down our opponent's throat, physically overpowering and outlasting them to the point of submission. Problem is, we don't have a competent quarterback to compliment our running to exploit aggressive run defenses.

This is what happens when you lose an outstanding quarterback to the NFL and are forced to start an underclassmen with little experience in the strongest conference in college football. Once we have a competent passer our offense will be strong again like it was in 2013 - that person will be Brandon Harris and we may see him take the offense over next season. By his Junior year we will be the favorite to win the SEC.

Only pass when you have to. Run left 75% of the time. Try not to spread out the defense.

LSU's coaches can't even do that!!!

most likely played the two best defenses in the sec/ country. But yeah he wants to shorten games and control the clock. It basically worked.

But we really were not running it 60 times a game. I think we ran it like 34 times against auburn and got our shite pushed in. he reverted back to just run it no matter what and pulled off 3 straight wins. you cant really argue with the reasoning.

Now you can bitch about not having a decent qb because that is on him, but not the philosophy that has put us in spots to pull off 4 straight wins when every thought we might not win another game.

Id also like to point out the those two teams offenses that looked to be way more potent than ours could not do shite agaisnt us either, that is what happens when you play a good team. But the ole miss game we dominated on the ground, and really should have had more points.

Chavis called a masterful game! In fact up until the final 50 secs it was one of the most impressive defensive efforts I've seen from Tigers, comparable to 2011 against Bama! He did not go into a "prevent" defense, LSU was in regular defense with 2 high safeties to stop the deep ball! LSU was still mam-man underneath w 2 high safeties! Credit Bama for executing flawlessly when they needed to on that last drive! If we get one tackle on one of those passes that were able to go out of bounds after completions, it might have been a different outcome!
