re: It's the offensive line.

It's rather incredible that people still don't watch or pay attention to that offense.

Houston averages about half those pass attempts per game. They run the ball more. Just like when Baylor was consistently one of the top rushing teams in the country a few years ago.

I never understood why Miles didn't choose to run a full-blown spread option.

Even Alabama runs the spread now. It's time to get away from the conventional offensive approach and step into the future.

Your statement that we just tailor our offense to the players we have, has the implication that if you have the right offensive scheme it dosen't matter how good your players are. If that's the case, why put so much into recruiting?

What the shite kind of logic is this? My point is that a coach can tailor an offense to fit the needs/strengths/weaknesses of his team. A good OC can do things to mask the team's weaknesses. Obviously yes I would rather have a team stacked with 5*s.

The fact is there is no offensive scheme that could have made up for the yuuuuge difference between our offensive line and Bamas defensive line.

---

Then why have teams with objectively worse OL talent than us had better success on offense against that same Bama defense?

Good one man.

Eh?

Check the stats. From 2010 - 2016, Baylor was in the top 30 for RYPG in every year and they had a few seasons in the top-10.

Facts some people just don’t understand football. No matter what play is called it’s 11 on 11 everybody has a assignment. If a mf can’t block by week 9 and he’s a junior how can that be on play calling.

---

So what happened in 2016 when we got shutout with the sane guy calling the plays then too?

So coaching staff brings in top 15 players at their position each any every year. They underperform all the time.

So how is this a player problem and not a coaching problem or a talent evaluation issue?

We luv our coach, baw.

it makes the D account for him and can also show man or zone pre snap. we had geniuses here say we did not need all that last year even though it worked well with canada.

Let's assume your thesis is accurate. Why is the O-line bad. They are as big as everyone else. Are they weak? Slow? Not adept at learning blocking assignments? I find that hard to believe, but maybe it's true.

From what I can tell, 0 has not upgraded the offense despite earlier claims to the contrary. LSU has faced some good fronts in MSU and Auburnt and could generate some offense. How can one explain the shocking performance against the gumps? Saying the no one on the o-line can play does not seem credible to me.

Seems like our o-line is only bad vs Bama when SE is calling plays.

2016,2018 with him calling plays were both shutouts.

Amazingly with Canada calling the plays we moved the ball pretty good against Bama last year in Tuscaloosa.

---

Not really. It's quite a stretch to interpret that as meaning recruiting doesn't matter.

But look at Clemson's recruiting classes. I think this year was Dabo's best and they were like 7th, mostly because of Trevor Lawrence. Are they elite just because they have better players than everyone? Or do they have really good players with better coaching?
