Our offense looks like Les Miles' at LSU.

We don't run what I would call a true pocket passer style offense like when we had Stafford or Murray under Bobo, it's largely short, slant, to intermediate routes and drop backs and teams are now sitting on our predictable routes. Creating coverage sacks.

Which leaves the QB holding on to the ball too long, a running QB could more than make the defense pay for this because no one is home in the middle of the field.

Frankly, it's like Coley thinks Fields is running the o.

This is by no means a shot at Fromm, it's just not the offense I think Fromm could Excel in.

A running qb would hide this offenses defiencies.

That feels like a bit of a stretch to me, but that's my perspective. The Stafford days were truly a pro style offense with I formation, a ton of play action, and deep drops that had slow developing plays.

It appears we largely have a route tree that's predicated on the defensive alignment. We run a lot of safe routes with comebacks, corner and out routes. We mix in a slant, dig or post route every now and then but Coley's designs seem to be hash to sideline oriented. We'd have to look at safety alignment to understand if this defense driven or philosophy.

And Jake doesn't hold on to the ball too long. If you remember, up until SC I don't think we had given up a sack or maybe it was 1. I think a couple of the sacks during the game were on Fromm when he should have just stepped out of the pocket and thrown it OB.

Running QBs always hide your deficiencies, but most dual threats couldn't make the throws Fromm makes either. It's give and take.
