Crowton's Playcalling...

Crowton's playcalling has been very good this year. Ranters that keep ranting about his horrid gameplan are either not paying close attention or dont know much about football. Poor execution and mental mistakes killed almost every unsuccessful drive of the last two games.

The first drive of the UNC game ended on a wide-open Shepard dropping a pass. Every other drive that failed was due to penalties and turnovers.

The Vandy game showed me that Jefferson is not going through his progressions well...still. His passes are very often too low. Passes were dropped and penalties at really bad times killed drives. I really dont know how Crowton, specifically, can fix that.

I do question the use of the option when rolling out. But Blue's fumbles is not a thing that can be forseen. The read option hasn't been a bad play for LSU this year, though.

Shotgun vs I-form comments:
Some of you are questioning the shotgun but we really dont have a consistent fullback presence. The I-form looked good at the end of the game because Vandy was worn down. LSU cannot rely heavily on the I-form this year.


Truth is that no specific formation or playcalling is going to work very well if the QB can't get through progressions and the players are making constant mental errors. I believe that the plays look great. I saw open receivers all night. Jefferson never even looked in their general direction. He was also off-target.....a lot. Again, dont know what Crowton could do when these things happen....other than just run the rock....which happened quite a bit tonight.
