LSU Will Be Tougher To Defend | TigerFan.com

This is from ESPN's 7 College Football Secrets For 2007

Crowton's spread offense is known for its high-octane passing attack -- in his first season as the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, the team threw an NFL-high 63 percent of the time -- but it also has produced strong running games. Last season, the Ducks led the Pac-10 and ranked 14th nationally with 181.8 rushing yards per game.

The only constant in Crowton's offense is an unpredictable approach. He'll use five receivers on first down, then two tight ends and a fullback on second down. He favors tight ends who can block and catch so he can split them out wide. Wide receivers are allowed to adjust their pass routes to what defenses are showing.
