As my Grandpa told me when I made a similar comment at about age 15, "I can't remember the last time I went out looking for a piece of face!" Pop was a smart old man and I miss him greatly.
So in 2013(according to cfbdata.com) LSU ran it 271 times on first down and passed 129 times. So LSU ran it 68% (67.75% to be exact)of the time on first down. I said 75% so I was off a little. It is is Cameron's philosophy to run the ball.
I can tell y'all this…The only reason why Harris started the Auburn game was because of Les. Cam insisted all season that he wasn't ready. Les was also the only reason Welter got pulled, Chavis was the stubborn one. Cam has 99% control of the offense. I know many don't want to hear it or believe it. Cam knows his style of offense had to change when he came here because we are built to run. When he had Mettenberger, Beckham, and Landry that wasn't the case, he could do more things that fit his offensive downfield passing scheme.
Yet he still ran the ball 68% of the time, he got mocked at Baltimore for his conservatism with the "Hey diddle diddle run Ray Rice up the middle".
