not read option high school offense




LSU is following the classic high-school strategy, give the ball to your best player...every play

Also, our "high-school" offense averaged more yds/game and points/game than LSU last season

I'm just using the SECr standard argument against Fournette. If he's such a game changer, why did he have poor games in every loss?


Well he actually had a great game against UF and good though not great games against OU and Bama. His bad game was against Ark. AND we were in all those games until the very end and/or OT.

**Note I'm using both his passing and rushing combined since he's a DT and they're the only way, imo, to really judge him. And while I completely understand where you're coming from regarding Fournette neither myself nor most UT fans have made that charge.

I think LF7 is a fantastic RB.

Tennessee is gonna be good.


Yes they are and both teams have a lot to prove before people start talking so much shite. Frankly, I like Tennessee coming out of the east before I do LSU with the gauntlet of the west.

Chad Kelly
Dak Prescott
Cam Newton
Tim Tebow
Johnny Manziel

These are game changers. Dobbs is a somewhat solid QB who can make plays with his feet, at times.


SEC quarterbacks to throw for 300+ and run for 100+ in a single game

Manziel - 4 times
Tebow - 1 time
Dobbs - 2 times

Lawson - Too injured
OJ Howard - 1 game
Dobbs - Meh passer
Jamal Adams - There are other safeties of equal value with less hype

18 rushes for 136 with 0 TDs. 10 of 17 passing for 83 yards and 0 TDs.

That's 219 total yards and no touchdowns. Great is a massive overstatement.

good though not great games against OU and Bama


OU:
14 rushes for 12 yards with 1 TD. 13 of 31 passing for 125 yards and 1 TD.

137 total yards with 2 total TDs and an INT. Good is a stretch.


Bama:
16 rushes for 19 yards with 0 TDs. 13 of 22 passing for 171 yards and 1 TD.

190 total yards with 1 TD. I'd say that's slightly above average. Good if I'm going to be generous.


I know objectivity is a rare thing with 99% of the posters here so I will quietly digress.

You left off Receiving 1 reception 58 yards 1 TD.

So he rushed for 136 yards, passed for 83 yards and caught for 58 yards...

That is 277 total yards and 1 TD (against the 2nd rated defense in the SEC).

Passing yards + Rushing yards = total

UT: 2388 + 2682 = 5070 (Avg 422.50 yds/game)
LSU: 1904 + 2705 = 4609 (Avg 419 yds/game

I actually edited that post because you were wrong (again)

But at the same time, my point stills stands about how close we were
