re: Oklahoma pass first offense wins another Heisman, LSU remains run first

Too bad they don't have a defense. We'll see how this pass first offense works against Alabama. My guess is Murray will be under pressure all game. Translation...no chance.

Bama has evolved because they have backup 5 stars on the lines, and playmakers better than ours. It's funny how you guys don't see it all starts with protection. Bama isn't a gimmick offense, they just have better players

Yes, tell that to the Heisman trophy. Pass first wins.

Who cares? You might have a good thought around improving the offense - not like anyone ever had that idea before - but why are you coming at it from a completely irrelevant angle like the Heisman? We've won 2 championships since OU's last one. Heisman does not matter.

No they don't. Bama is still run first. Jesus

so is OU

i don't disagree but their OL schemes are not only better than our's, they're in sync with the total offensive philosophy

we had a shaky OL (in talent and scheme) last year and Stevie E continued to run an offense that would expose those issues

they are also doing it with players we deemed as not being good enough for LSU

Cody Ford, for one.

I answer relevant questions only. LSU hasn't been relevant since 2011. Oklahoma has been far more relevant than LSU in every way.

Lol, you're getting downvoted for speaking the truth.

He’s getting downvoted for being wrong, so are you.

Prior to the A&M fiasco, the last regular season game of the season, we were ranked #7 in the CFP. But let’s pretend that’s not relevant so it fits a narrative.

LSU fans like to talk about how teams like USC and Notre Dame are yearly overrated, yet before this year we we were also getting the same treatment and then fell on our asses.

Before the season here was the predictions for the SEC west. 5th of 7 seems like we were way overrated

2 Auburn 1,664 (19)
3 Mississippi State 1,239 (2)
4 Texas A&M 1,091
5 LSU 1,025
6 Ole Miss 578
7 Arkansas 412

Preseason AP and Coaches polls 24th and 25th ( currently 11th in both polls). USC was ranked 15th, they are not even bowl eligible. The questions around Norte Dame are in regards to their schedule and lack of conference affiliation, which some see as an advantage.

I’m not sure you guys understand what the word overrated means.

There isn't any scheme to coach around a porous OL. I know y'all think a good OF can do that, but that doesn't make it true. A good DC knows what few things there are to help mitigate the poor OL play...and he takes those away quickly. LSU could have beat Bama deep all night with time to throw. Bama new we wouldn't have time to throw and took away short stuff. It was a jail break every snap on our ol

quick passes
constant misdirection and motion
short combo routes to attempt YAC

plenty of things you can do that LSU refused

instead we went with a vanilla running game and long-developing passing plays. exactly what you need to help an OL with issues

you think Washington State had as talent of an OL that LSU had this year? how did the put up major numbers? the scheme

have you followed CFB since the early 00s?

have you missed the impact that Mike Leach and his progeny have had on CFB? that's not true anymore

the problem was we did try to do this and we didn't have the OL or run game to try. yet it was our plan

Bama knew we couldn't, so they gave us the deep ball and played zone loading up on the first and second level and Ensminger couldn't adjust to a simple gameplan that he didn't expect. he was a deer in headlights and had no plan B and we got slaughtered

quote:

---

It's not deer in headlights, if you can't block, a good defense and DC will take away what you would try if you can't block.

---

Bama gave us our gameplan and took away the rest because they knew how simple our offense was

E kept falling for the bait and didn't adjust

we didn't run short screens, combo routes, or use any misdirection. don't say we adjusted because we didn't do the simple things CFB has been doing for nearly 20 years to adjust to that very defense

quote:

---

That's our problem every year,

the fact that we've refused to adapt to the modern offense is our problem every year. i agree
