It is possible in my view. We had lost out on quite a few big time recruits from Louisiana in recent years. I believe that is largely for the same reason that many of our upper classmen bolted at their first opportunity. Hopefully Eaux can build a wall around LA and get those kids at LSU.
Well, we just list another in state linebacker to bama according to Dandy Don. Hopefully they can flip them both back.
I must have missed it. With Aranda locked in now they should be able to focus on recruiting that side of the ball now. Less uncertainty there.
I refuse to get my hopes ever again as long as Alleva is around. With that said, LSU offered Bama's 5* QB commit. Pissed off Brennan but, is O seriously going to steal Kiffin and possibly a 5* QB as well? He would have to sit behind Hurts so it makes since to follow Lane......
Cant win a NC without a strong running game not on board with some here who think we have to become Texas Tech or Oregon.
You have fallen prey to a common misconception,.. Oregon is a much more run/option oriented team, running the ball over 80% of the time.. over the years among the top rushing teams in the country,.. Oregon lead the Pac-12 Conference in rushing for ten consecutive seasons,.. the longest streak in the history of the conference,.. of course that ended with this miserable 2016 season. from wiki,.. The spread option is a shotgun-based variant of the classic triple optionattack that was prevalent in football well into the 1990s. Notable users of this offense include Rich Rodriguez's Arizona Wildcats, Urban Meyer's Ohio State Buckeyes, Mark Helfrich's Oregon Ducks, Hugh Freeze's Ole Miss Rebels, and Dan Mullen's Mississippi State Bulldogs. Despite the multi-receiver sets, the spread option is a run-first scheme that requires a quarterback that is comfortable carrying the ball, a mobile offensive line that can effectively pull and trap, and receivers that can hold their blocks. Its essence is misdirection. Because it operates from the shotgun, its triple option usually consists of a slot receiver, a tailback, and a dual-threat quarterback. One of the primary plays in the spread option is the zone read, invented and made popular by Rich Rodriguez. The quarterback must be able to read the defensive end and determine whether he is collapsing down the line or playing up-field containment in order to determine the proper play to make with the ball. A key component of the spread option is that the running threat posed by the quarterback forces a defensive lineman or linebacker to "freeze" in order to plug the running lane; this has the effect of blocking the target player without needing to put a body on him.
