Okay, I think I understand your point: LSU has been more reliant on the between-the-tackles rushing game in recent years than USC has been. Personally, I'd attribute that more to the difference in quarterback personnel (USC has had superior pure pocket passers, particularly in Palmer and Leinart) than to O-line play or to fundamentally different philosophies on offense. But you could argue it either way.
