re: LSU is there only program over the last 12 years not to finish outside top 25

Les came to LSU with the offensive philosophy that he had the bigger and better players, so he was going to line up, tell you he was going to run the ball and dare you to stop it. That worked pretty well against most teams and made for good games against real good teams that could match us in talent. Then as teams got equal or better talent, that offense just didn't work anymore. He kept thinking is should and would, but against teams that were built to stop the run, it just never did anymore. If he would have developed a QB or had a plan in place to throw the ball when the run wasn't working, then he'd still have his job. But for some reason he was completely stuck to his way of doing it and it just wasn't working...
