LSU's offenses were actually somewhat explosive from 2005-2007. I don't know what happened to LSU after 2007 but their offenses have been anemic ever since. As good of a team as 2011 LSU was, their offense wasn't anything to write home about. Their special team and defensive play was pretty much perfection incarnate though.

That's fair. The real difference between 2011 and the 2012 team is redzone and third and short efficiency. The 2011 team were elite at both of those categories. The 2012 team struggled mightily. LSU does not need more explosion to be better on offense. They need to score touchdowns this year where they got field goals, and they need to keep drives going by picking up those short yard situations. If they do that, everyone will think it is a fancy new scheme. It won't matter if they do the same types of things. It will look worlds different.

It starts with a couple guys named Ryan Perrilloux and Gary Crowton. I know it sounds pathetic to blame our problems on a quarterback that was dismissed 5 years ago, but we were forced to start 2 guys that never were ever going to be D1 quality QB's, and we failed massively on evaluating and recruiting QB's over the next couple of classes.
