We should be running the football. If we ditch the I and start running 3WR, we can still run out of a single back set



well that's what I mean. That's what I'm saying. That's what I've been saying since game 1.

We had success running against Wisky in the 2nd half this way. We can still achieve the same result but do so in a way that makes more sense.


exactly, we need an offense philosophy that makes more sense. Last night we did run a lot of two WR sets and pass on 1st and 2nd down, which makes more sense than 1 wr sets. We just didn't take it far enough. Opening up the passing game by using Harris much more until he is ready to fully take over (not saying he isn't ready enough right now), along with more of Dupre, Quinn, Dural and 3 wr sets and running out of those sets. Sort of like what we did at the end of the game last night along with good dose of running plays and swing passes to the backs out of the backfield.

no but they were much more conservative under Cam than what Harbough wanted. He was the pro version of Les.

I think this is exaggerated. We definitely opened it up with Russell, Flynn, and Mett.

The main correlation in a truly bland offensive gameplan was when we were forced to start average QBs in Jefferson, Lee, and Jennings.

Harris was more dynamic last night due to change in offensive scheme. Four wide receivers, one running back, no huddle hurry up offense. Maybe the success of the late game scheme should soften the head under the hat!! My guess, NO WAY, ain't going to happen.

They have no idea what to change to. I like Miles but if he and Cam start Jennings at QB next week I think LSU needs to look for their next coach.

That's what LSU needs monsterB, spread teams out and run up the middle. That would equal better success in the running game. But BoSchem didn't do it that way.

The offense was different last season because LSU had Mett. This obviously shows the offense is the way it is right now because Jennings is not very good and can't be trusted.

The RBs are great.
The OL while not elite like we thought are horrible.
The WRs are still talented.

The issue on offense is the QB position. This is the same issue we had with Jefferson and Lee. That is why we depended on the the run game so much then also. It is just tough right now because the 2011 defense and run game was much more dominant than it is now.

We should just suffer now with Harris gaining experience and give him a try since Jennings hasn't shown much of anything in 5 starts.
