Im confused what your point is.

My point is that the offense has not worked to our advantage for a large portion of Dino’s time here. We were lucky Dungey was great at improvising on broken/bad plays, and we were unlucky in that it resulted in his being sidelined by injury multiple times.

To that point, we either score fast or turn the ball over fast. And over the past two years we’ve turned the ball over a whole lot more than we’ve scored it. By turnover, I mean giving the ball back the opposing O whether on downs or otherwise.

This results in the defense being on the field for extended possessions while our offense cannot provide them extended breathers. Results in higher fatigue and more injuries. You could be in fantastic shape and still be worn down at this rate, see Trill.

Burrows leaving LSU is not the dominating factor in their struggles. They had an unbelievable graduating/moving on of talent to the draft on O and D that could hardly be supported by any team in college football not named OSU or Bama.

Our struggles result from lack of depth, stubborn play calling and loyalty to a scheme, and a laundry list of injuries. LSU has a year like this maybe once in every 5. We’ve now had one good year in 5.

I think depth and talent is improving, for what its worth. But it pains me that we’re holding back young talent at QB from gaining experience in a meaningless year because they’re not caught up with our scheme. The scheme’s not working anyways. Give them a script and let them play. What do we do if god forbid tommy’s sidelined in 2021? Rely on a grad transfer? Its year 6 coming up I think this is fair criticism.
