It depends on Harris...

When Miles has had quarterbacks that can make the throws, we've thrown it a fair amount. If Harris can't make the throws, then our offense will go back into its shell. I think Miles still blames himself for 2008 when he asked Lee to do things he wasn't able to do. Now he errs on the side of caution to keep the media and fans off his QB's back.

Can I get a Amen from a tiger fan on throwing to the TE. We never use the middle of the field. We need to open up the middle to keep the LBers and safeties from stacking the box against the run. Please please sweet Jesus can I get an Amen?



I will be Positiger

Harris will be comfortable under pressure and will see the field and hit open men with the ball in shape for YAC.
TE's will be a feature of the LSU offense, and the Florida and A&M and Bama LBs will be tense and make mistakes because they will be shitting bricks not knowing when to expect LF7 and when to see TE's rumbling down the middle.
Safeties will follow the TE, and never be in position to help the LBs, so when LF7 gets past the 2nd level, he will run free.

Happy as Larry.

Ha ha. You clearly dont know shite about cfb if you think all these spread offenses are running some huge variation of plays.
Just because you dont know this common knowledge aspect of cfb doesn't mean i dont know what im talking about.

So why not have one play and run it all the time? Because execution of the play is more difficult when the opposition knows what's coming.


When did i say having 1 play will work?
The bottomline is we have a more diverse playbook than just about every hunh or spread offense. The fact that you dont know this proves you dont what youre seeing when you watch cfb.

Thunder great stats to show these doosh bags that love this same shite for the last 7 years except with Metts here. These idiots act like we are still elite no we haven't fallen to likes of Texas or Penn st. because one thing, miles does recruit talent. Texas and Penn st did not. Now coaching and game planning with a vanilla offense with a majority being rushing the football has gotten us AVERAGE. Yes .500 in the Sec the last 5 years and consistency losing to Arkansas and ole piss. Miles lovers gtfo with we need to stay with what we are good at. Balance passing and rushing = success in today's college football.

Yes our offensive play variety picks up when the QB show he can execute it. Recruiting/Developing QBs that can execute it has been the problem.

I think it's one think to say you will change. I think it's another to actually change from a way you've been doing it all your life, you truly believe is the best way, an mostly with bottom line success and move to a way of doing things that you really in your heart don't believe in.


It has to change now. I don't know what the hell is the problem with him and QBs, but it needs to change immediately. If they can't run the pro style offense successfully, switch to a power spread like UNC, Clemson, Houston, Ohio State, etc, run. Or do like TCU and Oklahoma do with the air raid and they also run the ball very effectively. Texas is copying that style for the 2016 season.

I so wish he had hired Tony Petersen this offseason, because the offense Driskel ran was a powerhouse. Jeff Driskel, with talent from Louisiana Tech completed over 62% of his passes for over 4000 yards (9.0 ypa) with 27 TDs and ran for over 320 yards with 5 TDs. I mean Jeff frigging Driskel, and it ended up getting him drafted. The year prior he had some 3rd string zero star recruit transfer from Iowa that wound up throwing over 3400 yards and 30 TDs completing 58% of his passes. The guy had never played in a college game until that one year with Tech.

I know we got Craig, but that won't matter much unless you change your philosophy.

I don't see it changing drastically. I think we'll continue to be a run first offense however, I do like us having a QB with experience.


That could prove to be very important, as far as keeping opposing defenses honest.

Right here. Defenses will key in on Fournette, no doubt, but they'd have to respect the receiving core.

I can't wait.

If you look at what formation they were in the most for the games, its 7 games 22,21,12 > 11 formation. 4 games 11>22,21,12 formation and one game equal amounts. So basically, they had 3 games that basically made up 40% roughly of the time the whole year they used that formation.

Subtract those 3 games from the total and you are left with using formation 11 190 times. Drop 22,21,12 totals for those 3 games and you are left with 279. Maybe i am wrong but looking at those formations, i would guess that with 22,21,12 was 80-90% of the time running plays.

279 to 190. That equates to 59% to 41%. Isnt that close to what our run pass was last year?

Would be nice to see an offense like this. After all, this is where Cam comes from Air Croyell offensive Philosophy. That is what i was expecting when he came here. I think Les runs the show on offense and does not let Cam do his thing. Do i think he will Change. Only thing that would make him change is if he really believes his arse is on the line if he doesnt. That is the only way it will change. Would be nice to see this kinda offense for once. The day i start seeing this type of offense implemented is the day we can all say....... finally.
This is the offense i want to see dammit!!

We saw glimpses of what Harris was capable of last season


We saw a QB that could only complete passes downfield with receivers that could create space. Zero touch on timing routes and nothing intermediate.

Unless that changes DRASTICALLY, we are right back where we were only with a defense that will keep it closer in November.

Toss dive to the left. Toss dive to the right. Run up the middle.


This will be 85% of our offense. LF will have a great year and Les will not have any reason to change things up.

I think Harris carries the ball more this year much more. That's about it. Instead of giving it to the HB on every play they will actually play the read how it's supposed to be.

3wr set was the leading set in 10 games this year.
