re: How many of you really don't like the idea of lining up and raming the ball

Put me down for a guy as LOVING the idea of lining up in a single back formation - long as Fournette is the back. Actually, not only does a telegraphed Fournette ramming of the ball not bother me but a single back line up, but neither does the same play from a single wing, I, power I, heavy, stacked, bunched, wishbone, broken bone, veer, pro set, single wing, double wing, chicken wing, cobia/ling, or any of those those Spurrieresque trickeration formations teams filled with sissies sometimes employ on like punts and such. A Wildcat with Fournette as QB falls into the same category. None of that bothers me, long as Fournette's the back.
Furthermore, I think we should use a larger telegraph pole. I think, again, assuming Fou, well, you know, he should break huddle, then, before getting set, Fournette being allowed to survey the situation, point to a defensive player, and holler out "based on what I know about you defensive scheme, you supposed to be the one to tackle me, cause I'm finna run right there (as he points). Based on what I'm seeing though son, you don't have the chest to do that. We can do this a couple of ways. You can try your levelheaded best to stop what you can't, and wind up lookin a lil silly, or, either feign injury or get the hell outta my way. If you make me work too hard, I'ma have to make you pay."

Yea we don't like running fournette and guice. Ok dude go back to bed you need a nap. It's like saying you don't like winning. It's ok to say we need to throw the ball more.

Just a complete fluke that the games with the bulk of the games with that 3 wide set are the ones we got our heads beat in and we're behind the entire game.
Are you kidding?
The 3 wrs set was the leading set in 10 games and for the entire season it was our most used set at 49%.
My god you look this shite up.
Dg was right. Yall just spout ignorant bullshite that easily refuted by facts.
here is link to an article talking about how the bullshite narrative of lsu offense.

I like it when it works but you have to have balance to loosen up the defense. I mean, did whoever was calling plays at Alabama last year really think we're going to just line up and run the ball like we did against Auburn?

Youre wrong and thats the problem. We have a set of lsu fans that refuse to believe facts that are easily accessible just because its goes against their opinion of our offense.

Because the same old narratives and biases that fans and the media keep repeating are every bit as silly and stubborn as the beliefs they ascribe to Miles. It's just repeating the same thing over and over again, kind of like how people think LSU is just running an I-formation dive over and over again.

We tried throwing the ball against bama.
Harris went 6-19.

As I just pointed out in the other thread..
Still better than a zillion carries for 30 yards.
At least scored a TD and got in fg range via the pass.. (when the game was still close) also got a nice couple pass interference first downs as well. So that was nice.. and better than constantly running into that front 7.
Harris made some good throws in this game, some not so good.. but we actually did move the ball via air better than on the ground.. but whatever.. how dare anyone question it. He was definitely playing hurt though, you could tell it limited his ability to sweep by lineman in the backfield.
Go rewatch the game on youtube. Watch how we continued to run right into a wall.. and at times the pass still picked us up a first down. A couple of other effective plays were some zone reads I believe. These were effective, but would have been more effective had Harris not been limited with an injury.
It's not about trying to run a mixture of run or pass.. it's about attacking a team's weaknesses.. or at least not playing right into their strength. Some games are justified running all over an inferior team.. however, against Bama, it was pretty awful.
Fournette averaged 1.6 yards per play.. he did have a late meaningless TD I believe?
31 yards on 19 carries.. neat..
Harris through the air avg 6.7 yards.
Harris on the ground avg 4 yards per play
As a team we avg 2.1 yards on the ground. A total of 54 yards..
The receivers avg 21.3 yards per reception I believe.

No its not.
If youre a head coach and your already struggling 1st year starter gets hurt and is clearly hobbled do you keep letting him drop back on a gimpy leg behind an oline thats getting manhandled and risk losing him for the year or do give the ball to the best rb in cfb and hope he can break one?
Youre making these decisions with hindsight. Harris was struggling badly in the Bama game and was limping. He connected on 6 passes with 1 being a prayer he threw up for grabs on the sideline. There isnt a coach worth a shite in that situation that doesnt feed LF and hope he can make a play.

He wasn't limping on that GREAT 1ST drive was he??? Bottom line is that Miles went into that game SCARED of what the Bama D would do against his offense.. The 1st drive proves it... Go back and look at the 1st three plays... The game was OVER at that point... Trying to pass when you HAVE to is one thing... Trying to pass when the D is NOT expecting it is another........

WTF are you saying?

I don't necessarily disagree with that. But you have be somewhat creative or deceptive in doing it.
We had leads on Miss St and Fla and played both of those teams right back into the game by not getting 1st downs in the 2nd half.
Eta: to answer your question, I love the smash mouth style. But it is frustrating when they have an answer for it.

Jesus, Rick, our coaching staff is paid many millions of dollars to, you know, actually figure out ways to move the ball. That includes contingency plans in case important players get hurt or are ineffective. And that also includes real-time adjustments based on what's actually occurring on the field.
The "Harris was hurt so let's just hand off all game" excuse is just pathetic.

OK.. Got me there.. But the whole game seems like A BLUR as far as LSU'S offense goes... LF RIGHT, LF LEFT, LF with ZERO gain, LF with a LOSS on the play.... You get the Idea....

The # of plays spells defeat without benefit of of numerous turnovers.

Like you said... Bama DOMINATED LSU on the lines.... They KNEW what was coming and the avalanche started.......... And they not only BEAT US... They Beat us DOWN and it had a HUGE effect on the team for the next game.......

Yea those first year starting QBs really struggle.
6 of the last 7 national champs have had first year starting QBs.
3 of the last 5 QB Heisman winners have been first year starters.
