Just because 'we' didn't/don't, doesn't mean 'we' can't.
To think we're intentionally holding our offense back, for some mysterious reason, is just plain silly.
All the other top teams in the country don't do that - they blow doors on lesser teams.
But we're smarter than all of them. Keep Burrow under 50% until we really need him to produce, then BOOM, he'll instantly just to 65 % when we play UGA and Bama. Genius!

Not necessarily.

That's true. But to think they're slowly installing a brand new offense for the second time in two years, and working on fundamentals, isn't silly.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If the guy isn't throwing for over 50%, why would you want him to try to sling the ball all over the field? Why not try to get his percentage (and confidence) up by throwing safe throws and getting him up to maybe 12-15 passing instead of 12-30 passing. Increasing his percentage slowly is a better recipe to getting him up to 20/30 passing.
As a head coach, it all comes down to actually winning football games. O is smart enough o know that listening to the fans and having the top ranked offense in the country will still get you fired if you're not winning games. On the other hand, if you win every game by a score of 2-0, you will keep your job.
Just fricking WIN baby!

I would imagine the I form will be a part of the gameplan this week bc Tech's DTs are both smallish around 280. LB's are very small both coming in under 220. It's called game planning for your opponent. Tech is built to match up with these spread teams. Trust me they don't want LSU to line up in I and run it right at them.

La Tech is not a pushover. Treat them as one and we could end up losing the game. Treat them with respect, game plan for them, and go win the game.
If we had a dependable offense this game wouldn't be close with our defense. Tech is no pushover but the real worry is if the Tigers offense struggles like it did vs SLU.
Missing Charles at LT is a concern for this game.
As for respect, I think Orgeron has kept the team focused this week. Troy left a bad taste in their mouths from last year and the players have been saying the right things this week as has O.

I imagine if LSU lines up in the I formation by the 4th quarter LaTech will just want it to be over.

Who cares?
The problem has ALWAYS been efficiency, not formations.
If we run the I Form well and it's working, what does it matter? Miles Era left a bad taste in our mouth because when we came out in the "I", the opponent knew it was one of a couple of plays.

I formation is just a wishbone spread turned on its side.

KIng ! The old ways were winning ways . what has the king of spread Oregon done lately ? Every body knows how to defend the spread ! LSU and Coach Miles spanked their vaunted spread in their heyday which has come and gone ! This board for some reason wants to copy them . How many natties did they win with their so called spread ! I feel like this board has a lot of people who know that you when you pass the end zone with the football you score points and not much about on how you do that !

most teams have won using forms of a spread or pro style the last 20 years
a bunch of teams have won using forms of a spread. 3 for CUM, chizik/malzahn, dabo swinney, and sabans variants during kiffin and onward.
CUM and malzahn use power spread. all you are talking about is SPREAD OPTION from oregon. please EDUCATE YOURSELF

I am well aware that all teams use variations of the spread Coach Miles did too . Using pieces of the spread game is intelligent , basing your whole game plan it is just plain crazy !

fatbastard ! Iam not in tune with those some play titles you throw at me some those particular names are problably new , I played in the late sixties but I have a gist of what you are talking about .We didn't throw as much in those days,but bigger stronger fast boys who can run over the competition are always in vogue !
