re: LSU may have gotten more creative on offense...

After the Auburn game, any sign of life out of that offense is a cure that even fans of House would consider incredulous.

Frankly, that right there is why every LSU fan is excited right now. We're winning by an average of 29 points over the last three games. 500+ yards of offense for three straight games - let that sink in for a moment...

Under Miles (sad as it is to admit), the same team with the same players would have lost at least one of those games by play-calling down to the level of our opponent. And at least one more would have been close enough to drive an LSU fan sober (probably Southern Miss, given how this team has played against relatively good FCS teams recently)

LSU has always had great players because of recruiting. What's exciting is that, for the first time since the pick-sixathon and the beatdown in NO, we're seeing an offensive staff actually make use of the talent we have on offense. We finally have a pro-style quarterback playing under center in our pro-style offense, and an OC that calls plays to our strengths (and against our opponent's weaknesses). Contrast that to the normal "we're big boys comin atcha, stop us if you can (which happened way to often, unfortunately).

And the offensive production is bleeding over to the defense as well. Yeah, Mizzou may stink, but they still have/had one of the most potent offenses in the league when we played them. And we made them quit. Same with Ole Piss - we held them to their worst offensive output in nearly two years - not to mention our offense made the RebelBlackBears start fighting each other on the sidelines during the game!!



So, at least for me and those I talk with, it isn't so much that LSU now thinks they walk on water. It's that we're finally seeing the team play up to it's potential. We're winning the games we should win, and we're winning them in the way we should be winning every game against lesser opponents - winning big! That, in itself, is change enough to make even the biggest negatiger crack a smile....

Just my two pennies worth, yall...
