re: That gimmicky offense

Well, Ensminger didn't want the OC job, so it's not like it was an either/or proposition.

"The offense looks like it doesn't have an identity". You sound upset about it but this is exactly what we want during a spring game.

Some people just cant get les miles ball out of their heads. Give it time

Well then you're an idiot. Alabama and Florida shut it down

The fact that our guys appeared to be able to line up and run a drive with tempo got me excited. It's still very early into Canada's tenure here. I can't wait for the fall

From all reports I've seen, they executed the play calls (formations, motions, etc) very well under a live game situation, with the QB live, and real SEC refs. That's pretty impressive.

Individual performances within that were lacking. Obviously the QB play; seems WRs too. Those do affect each other. RBs looked good.

I've always been a believer that the QB has to create plays regurlarly. That could mean pulling it down and running, throwing in a tight window, extending plays, or anything "non-planned". Without that you will always get drive killers: that one play where the OL folds, or WRs get covered, etc that puts you behind the chains and the punt is inevitable.

If you don't have that at QB, you have to create pre-snap. Either that or keep doing the same thing hoping for a different result. That pre-snap creation is Canada's adaptation to a lack of consistent play making QB. If they can execute it (which they just showed the ability to) it isn't "gimmicky" because it is necessary.

except, you know, Bama.

who beats Bama? superb OL's and running QB's.

but Canada needs more time to figure out what this offense is.

Tail wagging dog.

Actually you are the idiot. Florida averaged giving up a mere 290 yards per game and was one of the best in the country. LSU gained 420 yards in that game which is a significant deviation from the mean. LSU "players" turned the ball over 3 times on the goal line and thats the only reason why the score wasn't something like 30-10.

So I think it's pretty obvious SE did a hell of a job and you proved you don't know shite about football.

And as I stated previously, unless you have dam near an all American QB and receivers that can go up and fight for the football, you can't beat BAMA. So all the idiots on this board using BAMA as the measuring stick for SE again prove they have no clue what they are talking about.

IN the "HISTORY' of LSU football, how many records did SE's offense break, with a less than average QB?

I understand that. But I think his decision was based more on knowing that EO was going to go out and seek a significant change.

My argument was more about the system. And, IMO, how SE ran the offense was something I favored heavily and was just point out that with his system, and a few additional spread option plays and diversity, it would be a perfect offense for LSU.

I am concerned that Canada has had to rely heavily on "trickery" in the past and as we all know, the gimmicky type offenses have not held up over long periods of time in the SEC.
