That LSU team wasn't great at QB, as usual back then, but had Leonard Fournette, who was about as good a college RB as anyone ever. And they were very stout on the LOS.
And I think pushback to your LSU offense proclamation was more based on the ONE game sample than anything else.
I'm not the one who said LSU was wo dreadful in total offense. Fournette was an absolute force that year without question. 230# player with sprinter speed. Very much like a Tyrone Wheatley.
My counter point to your important win being that music city bowl was that if that game was in fact a spring board back into relevance the following year...then the spring board broke in half the year after that going 4-8. It just makes no sense.
The pushback if you read them was nothing more than referencing days of yore when LSU sucked so bad..."their words "
Regardless all that ....
The one game example is a small sample but regardless if 1 game or 15 straight...
When was the last time we played offense like that.
We've played some sorry ass teams along the way during BK tenure and it's been a very long time since we've had an offensive output like that no matter the opponent.
Thus we're never in a position to give backups quality reps and game experience.
That ultimately leads to the big bowl games when big plays become paramount.
We just don't have big plays and certainly not a series of them in succession.
These other top teams will try and score 50 points at the half. They don't always do that but they're trying to score fast and often.
We show no urgency in scoring. We don't play with a sense of urgency on offense. Everything is slow motion and routine.
Very.
When was the last time we just decimated an opponent with big plays. (Plural)
We all watch the games...when was the last play we've run that you thought where did that play come from? Great call......great play!
There's nothing fresh from us offensively.
That's fine if we're physically gifted enough to impose our will on the opponent but.....
unfortunately we're not that gifted to do such a thing so it needs to come from a game plan and some surprise plays. (I don't mean trick plays just different wrinkles)
We feature none of that and when we do it's few, far and in between.
