re: LSU's lack of offense creativity is a crock

-Same as above. Florida was gashing us in the 4th quarter because our offense kept them on the field.

How many first down passes did our wide receivers drop in that game?

How many times do we run a max protection 2 WR slants?

How many times do we try and run it up the middle when they have 7 guys in the box?

This about sums up your knowledge level. How creative can you get in a passing game when you have a TERRIBLE offensive line in front of your QB that is giving him NO time to throw the football. That isn't lack of creativity.

And umm I would love for teams to put 7 guys in the box and us run up the middle.

Yea early on they dropped a lot of passes. So Miles went conservative and just tried to win the game by running

Oh really?? We threw 25 passes in the football game. 11 came in the first half while 14 were in the second half. Good analysis.

Also, nobody is looking for an Oregon style of offense, just more versatility.

Oregon's offense is about 10 plays. They just EXECUTE them to perfection.

Watch and entire game and see how many different formations they run.

It's the execution.

Not really my point at all.


However, you could say that their style of offense lends itself to better execution, because their style of offense is predicated on the defense being UNABLE to execute (ie. defense being out of position). Lets face it, when defenses DO execute against Oregon, they find it much harder to move the ball. Most defenses can't do it for 4 quarters, however.

Our style of offense relies more on overpowering and outwilling your opponent. If your opponent is guessing or has slight hesitation about your next playcall, it becomes much easier to overpower him and out-execute him. Earlier in the year, it was just too easy to guess what LSU would run next which made it much more difficult for the offense to be executed to perfection.

Apples and oranges really.

The offensive line SUCKED against UF. They were terrible. I realize what we have lost on the OL. Hurst is not an All American level player and has not played like one since the National Championship game.

I dare you to make a video montage of all the first down throws we made this season.

Oh, wait, I already did. Took me 0 seconds, BECAUSE THERE WERE NONE.

Lack of execution of simple plays is what bothers me.

Or maybe because he didnt fricking block anyone since last season?

I somewhat agree. Early in the year our offense didn't look very good due to the o-line problems, receivers dropping passes, and breaking in a new QB. Now that things have settled in the offense has been more open, with the exception of a few things that could be addressed.

-It's clear that Mett and receivers were not on same page early in the year(particularly in the redzone), and the coaches were not very confident in them executing(partly why mett has only 11-12 pass TD's). After showing good strides the last 4 weeks, Strudrawa has to call better plays and trust his QB to make the throws in the redzone(cannot win the biggest games hiding your QB). Teams know we want to run it in and will do whatever possible to prevent that in the redzone(can't waste two downs inside the ten yard line running into a brick wall if 7-8 defenders are already in the box).

- If we run what is supposed to be the wildcat, stop using it as a QB sneak with Ware. If Ware lines up and performs more of a read option, he likely gets more momentum than that of a QB sneak, and the defense also has to account for the running back also, instead of only Ware.
