re: Predictability of LSU on Offense since 2008 - Why the box is stacked

Although your stats are rock solid, I propose that simply altering the mix or throwing a wrinkle or two in the mix from time to time will not stop the box stacking fest vs LSU.

For example, with a RS senior gunslinger and the best receiving duo in the nation, the Tigers still had to throw completions over and over for the first half of the season before their opponents finally started to alter their box stacking strategy.

My point is really simple here... the Tigers are not only going to have to throw the ball much more often to back off the defenses but they are going to have to COMPLETE most of them or nothing will change.

It is very aggra vating indeed to watch these defenses with weak secondaries never get exposed or even tested when we face them but Les' strategy is much more multidimensional than most of us think. Personally, the fact that they've replaced all of the skill players allows me to chalk this up to growing pains but there is that part of me that knows that passing the ball is not that difficult when enough effort is put into practicing both during the fall and even more importantly, throughout the summer without staff supervision. Once that kind of work ethic is established and allowed to produce results, then Cam can draw up a playbook that will look more like last year's route trees and timing passes based on reads, etc.

I wish that it was as simple as playing the other QB and calling more passes.

Oh and answer my question about the Y axis earlier please.

I think the way it originally appeared had 0.57 set as the axis minimum, since it was near the lowest data point, and not 0.

Anyway, the argument can probably be made that LSU's least effective offenses during that time were the two who threw more frequently on first down. Not that there is a correlation, but just to show more data is needed.

that is what I thought too but that does not explain the variance at the top of the y axis I mentioned.

I do statistics all the time. The problem is you have an outlier year for each down in either 2011 or 2010. Because it is near the centroid it greatly effects the CI. Plus five data points sucks

Thanks Professor! The decline is obvious once graphically displayed. But,

we are paying him 400k a game for that.

Hill had 1400 yds rushing last year bc we had a passing qb. This year seems to be back to the same old dive play over and over . What is reason behind this ? No confidence in qb passing ? If so put 1 in that can pass .

Miles just needs to stfu and just recruit. He doesn't know shite about defense. His only specialty and experience before taking the LSU job was o-line coach and OC. He sucks at both. If you frequently fail at what you specialize in, then you are full of bullshite when you say "Best o line ever" twice and fail both times.

Stfu, take clock management classes, become ceo type coach, and recruit. Give cam and chavis the players they want.

You're [spewing crap. Your] analysis, and thus your conclusion, sucks for multiple reasons.

First, you don't understand the flaws in your data set. (Or maybe you do understand the flaws, and you prefer to present misinformation to advance your agenda.)

Second, you misanalyse the data set to present misinformation to advance your agenda.

Third, you chose presentations that misrepresent the facts to provide misinformation to advance your agenda.

Fourth, you include incomplete facts to provide misinformation to advance your agenda.

You present pretty graphs in the hope that your dog and pony show won't be critically analyzed. You hope that no one will be willing to do the work to disprove your "analysis" and show it up for the smoke and mirrors that it actually is.
