re: How to fix the LSU offense.

"It is 90% scheme/philosophy/play calling"

This. The simplistic LSU scheme depends on being better than your opponent talent-wise. This will not beat Alabama. The play calling has to maximize the ability of the scheme to perform. Long developing plays place too much emphasis on the ability of your offensive line to hold their blocks. Calling these type of plays is stupidity when your WEAKEST place is on the offensive line.
