re: Guilbeau says LSU assistants wanted to pass more at Bama

we should be balanced so we don't experience problems when we go into "passing mode." It's just common sense.

You'll get no argument from me on that point. At the time we had a corps of receivers with at least two years of significant playing time. Highly recruited receivers that by that time should have been used to playing in big games against big tough defenses. The O line should have been able to adapt and transition on a whim to the pass and kept the Bama defense honest.

A'Shawn had a monster day though...he was on and was extremely disruptive both one on one and even on double teams.

Sorry, but that's just silly. The 2nd play was inc pass, 3rd a sack,

---

that's the whole point. The first pass play was on second down. The first pass play should have been on first down when it had a chance of working.

WE still most likely lose the game just due to the talent differential but we still should have been running an offense prior to that game that would have given us a fighting chance against them when we did face them.


I think things will be different this coming season and MIles and Cam have finally come to terms with a few things regarding offense football that will make a difference this coming season.

quote:

---

So the run on 1st down caused incomplete on 2nd and sack on 3rd? Cmon.

---

with our talent disadvantage, yes, we had to be the one taking the initiative and setting the tone. We needed them reacting to us instead of us reacting to them. lSU lining up in the I and running straight into their strength on first down on the first play of the game and getting stuffed (as anyone with any sense would have known was going to happen) let them set the tone of how the game would go.

quote:

---

didn't matter, game was over after the first play

---

13-10 at half is over? You're reaching. For the record, LSU passed on 1st more than any other down last year.

quote:

---

come on, Rick. Even Miles supporters should be able to admit that our offense was fairly predictable last ye

---

Failry predictable isnt guessing right 85% of the time.

By comparison, I'd watch Kiffin's offense, not just against us but other teams too, and marvel at the play-calling. Not just run vs. pass, but the varied plays and formations, uses of different skill positions, short vs. long, middle of the field vs. outside the numbers, etc.

And by the way, I think Kiffin is a tool. But he runs a damn good offense.

---

It must pain you that our stale predictable offense was more productive and scored more points than that MARVELOUS offense you said is at bama.

This needs reposting. 2015 lsu finished ahead of bama in offensive yards per game, offensive yards per play,and offensive points per game.
So if you saw Bama's offense as marvelous then lsu's offense must've been life changing. Either that or you have a bias toward lsu offense.

I can guess when we're going to pass. (85% correct) And even higher % of when we going to Run the ball. When we pass, One of the main problems there is no element of surprise for the defense.


bullshite. If you could you would be on a sec staff. My god.

Ok Rick 85% might be a tad too high, but the guy isn't far off. I'd say 75% ... I sit in TS and I know the predictable Les Miles offense that well. Yes, I think the coaches in the SEC with talent can Regularly beat a Les Miles coached team, just like what we have seen the last 4 years.


Sadly , this season has the same formula as Many LSU teams of the pass.

1. Weak QB
2. Same Game Plans
3. A offense Not willing to adapt. (Stubborn Head Coach)

No you dont or youd be on a sec staff.

Even if you do guess 75 % its only because you have a 50% chance of guessing the play.
You would also learn the tendencies of other programs that youd follow like you follow lsu.
Again, those great Oregon offenses ran all of 3 rushing plays. Everyone in the stadium knew they were running zone read. They just execute. You do realize that all those great spread offenses run far smaller variations of plays, right? Our offensive formations are far more diverse than a spread team's formations.

The best coach in cfb ( saban ) with by far the best talent ( 4 straight #1 classes) GETS BEAT every year.
Miles has dominated teams that recruit on the level of lsu.

just like what we have seen the last 4 years.

Were you shitting on Saban's tenure? Our last 5 years have a better win loss record than Saban's tenure at lsu.

So you're saying this is a bad thing?
The lsu teams of past gave us the best tenure in lsu history or have you forgotten that Miles tenure is the best in school history.

Adapt to what?


Its amazing how all these posters on here are far better at recognizing presnap offense better than every SEC dc.

Same Game Plans

What? You dont really believe that Miles doesnt change the gameplan from week to week,do you?

Well...no shite.
