    Just wondering in light of the fact that...

    1) We had an awesome offensive showcase

    2) We had 30+ days to prepare

    3) GC resigned today

    Is it possible that BG and Les worked the Offensive strategy out together with little input from GC???

    Frankly, I have seen little very impact from Gonzales since he came to LSU.

    I do not want Gonzales to be the next OC. He's unproven.

    Any word about Stud leaving? How's his assessment now?

    He's done a good job working with his receivers and their zone reads.

    First thing: I'm not a fan of Crowton.

    I've been hearing this "rumor" as well. Just because LSU had success on offense a lot of people want to say Crowton was not involved. Listen to this video, sounds like Crowton was involved to me:

    BG and Miles had their hands deep in the game plan but Crowton made 99% of the calls in that game.

    I was kind of waiting for someone to point out the impact he has made, as well.

    That was a very interesting clip. Sounds to me like GC was confident about coming back in the Spring. Hmmm.

    Well maybe then it was just one of those nights where it all finally clicked and you run almost 300 yards against the nations #15 run defense.

    I was all ready to be opened to the possibility of BG becoming the new OC IF he had a hand in running the Offense during the Cotton Bowl. Now I am just hoping if Miles promotes him that it's not another Maleveto experiment. I hate experiments!!!

    Let's go with somebody who KNOWS what they are up against in the most dominant conference "in the galaxy" as someone so eloquently put it earlier today.

    Sucky iPhone app I use throws that in there sometimes. Honestly I try to avoid it but sometimes it creeps in there and I don't know how to change it. Apologies....
