They can't. House/BK don't adjust scheme. The scheme is complex. They clearly can't grasp it. Hard for younger players to. Harris even struggles at times with it and he should be playing man where his talent lies.

LSU's talented young players like Womack can't find the field because of this scheme. It should be drastically scaled back or altered but that's what happens when you have square peg in round hole coaches. They recruited DBs in the portal to play zone because they're not talented enough for man yet they got Harris who's the clear most talented potential big time player but he's playing what he's not meant to be. It makes no sense. The players last year caught on quickly from portal. The guys they got this year are not grasping it quickly.

Yes, LSU needs an Aranda here who molded his scheme every year based on his players and had no problem changing it throughout the season. House is not it. They will not change the scheme until they're forced to with a loss and that's a problem. Nobody in media is going to ask this hard questions but it's clear as day. It's why Perkins continues to struggle and play out of position. None of the players are comfortable in this scheme. Anyone can see it except House and BK.

He did get Perkins on the field last year and Weeks this year. I’m not ready to give up on House but I’m done with Steeples.

So Deuce you are saying that our players are not very smart.

Well said and this scheme is not working.
House better make some changes and adjustments and play Womack, Jefferson and Swinson.

House is not it. 

Although House had his moments last year when LSU looked way better than I expected them to, the fact that he tried to mess with Perkins and didn't recognize after months of practice that he needed to scrap that idea before the season began tells me he is not one to quickly adjust what he has in mind.

I feel like with this offense, we just need an average to slightly above average D to compete for the SEC championship with how everyone else looks. I'd simplify as much as I could so young guys like Weeks, Harris, etc., could excel even more and just rely more on their natural instincts and athletic ability. Those more complicated schemes are more for veteran defenses (if for anyone at all).
