Yeah I know people are down on the run game. It’s been talked about enough I don’t need to say anything

All I know is that:

1. The pass game is unstoppable

2. When we need 1 or 2 yards on the ground either for a first down or a TD….we get it

I’m good

When you consider we basically score at will and our struggles on offense the past few years, I don’t see how and why people are even fretting about this right now. I’m just enjoying the season and then drinking heavily when our defense is on the field.

The second part is why I’m less concerned about the ground game than others. We can run it when we need to.

the issue I see with this model is that the only viable strategy to ultimate success if overcoming our biggest weakness, which is our defense, and the way to overcome that weakness is to keep it on the sidelines, which means running the ball a lot more.

I think context is more important here.

Our 1st 6 opponents have been:

3-2 UF - 101st Rushing Def
3-2 FAMU (FCS) - 105th Rushing Def
1-4 Ball State (G5) - 119th Rushing Def
2-3 USF - 71st Rushing Def
3-3 VT - 100th Rushing Def
3-2 Cal - 34th Rushing Def

LSU’s 1st 6 opponents

7-6 GA Southern - 35th in Rushing Def
8-5 UT - 45th in Rushing Def
3-9 NWSt (FCS) - 68th in Rushing Def
3-9 Vandy - 115th in Rushing Def
7-6 Utah St - 110th in Rushing Def
11-2 UF - 8th in Rushing Def

LSU faced much better rush defenses to start the season. ****, they also faced:

UGA - #1 Rush Def
Clemson - #19 Rush Def
Auburn - #25 Rush Def
A&M - #30 Rush Def
UO - #32 Rush Def
Bama - #37 Rush Def
Ole Miss - #42 Rush Def
Miss St - #59 Rush Def

Homie, they played really solid rush defenses all yr. We’ve actually struggled all yr to run the ball vs. pretty poor rush defenses. Our rushing offense is deceiving af b/c it’s grossly exaggerated by 2.1 games:

Game 1: (Take away Ward)
RBs: 30 carries 105 yrds 2 TDs (3.5 ypc)

Game 2: (Take away Ward & Poffenbarger)
RBs: 29 carries 200 yrds 3 TDs (6.9 ypc)

Game 3: RBs: 31 carries 253 yrds 2 TDs (8.2 ypc)

Game 4: (Take away Ward)
RBs: 23 carries 146 yrds 4 TDs (6.3 ypc*)
*This ypc is grossly exaggerated by a late 91 yrd TD by Lyle in garbage time. Prior to that run, the RBs avg. 2.5 ypc this game.

Game 5: (Take away Ward)
RBs: 22 carries 108 yrds 1 TD (4.9 ypc)

Game 6: (Take away Ward)
RBs: 26 carries 124 yrds 2 TDs (4.8 ypc)

Our “rushing” numbers have been inflated by playing an FCS team who happens to be one of the worst rushing defense at that level (FAMU), one of the worst teams/rushing defenses at the FBS level (Ball State), & one run in garbage time vs. a poor G5 team (USF).

Against P4 opponents, even as bad as UF is, our rushing offense has been pedestrian. Cam, also boost those numbers due to his ability to improv and extend plays which has led to big gains off script. We’ll be facing better rush defenses moving fwd in UL, GT, Cuse.

I would think we can bludgeon FSU & Duke on the ground, but regardless, I wouldn’t say our rushing attack is better than 2019 LSU’s looking at the full context of schedule. LSU’s offense was pass heavy, but that run game was solid even against top tier rush defenses.

Our offense is playoff caliber as is and I actually think we will find our running game to make it even more unstoppable. But you responded to pass only teams not winning championships by pointing to LSU. They clearly were not a pass only team, they could cut you up on the ground as well.

I’d rather go with a proven formula over decades (including last year) than try to be the first.

Passing teams win championships. Pass-only teams do not.

We're basically playing like the 2008 suns - trying to out score everybody. History shows that eventually that play style catches up to you.

Greg Schiano and most of the other B1G HCs take that as a challenge and are more than happy to challenge him doing the same thing.

Or

We could just keep scoring at will on offense

I understand people still aren’t used to this but the team that has to keep the other team on the sidelines is the one we are playing against

Put the pressure on. The last thing we need to do is slow the game down

if we pass only (i don't mean this strictly) then the better defenses at some point will likely have some success. why not run the ball a little more, which keeps the defense on the sidelines, diversify the offense so that we are not pass only, score at will and KILL the clock all at the same?
