The 4th and 6 debacle was only 1 player?

One of the local talk show guys (I think it was Songy) was saying that the 4th and 6 fire drill came down to only one person and it was a player, not a coach.

I figure if anyone can back that up or shoot it down, it's the Rant.

So, what was it in that specific instance? (I understand, of course, that the HC is ultimately responsible for the readiness of all of his team).

The coach might be responsible,..but he can't PLAY for the players, in the end, its all about how THE PLAYER OR PLAYERS PERFORM....

It looked to me that Deangelo Peterson ran the wrong route. I might be wrong, but that's the only thing that makes sense to me.

RS goes in motion and takes the MLB with him. The middle of the field is left open. Either TT or DP needs to get to the middle of the field as they were both in one-on-one coverage.

ETA: My assumption is based on the fact that TT ran a three yard hitch to avoid clogging the middle.

That being said, when Lee started to scramble, TT should have made a break to give him somewhere to throw the ball.

RS didn't know he was supposed to be on the field.

JL knows something is wrong and is trying to get TT to the other side.

RS comes on the field, now TT is confused if he should be on the field or not.

Now, this play gets snapped with RS, TT, and JL all confused. How that shite happens after a timeout is beyond me.

It was a trick play. False fake confusion. Auburn was supposed to think Tolliver was hauling arse off the field. Cornerback didn't fall for it.

Just like that fake field goal at Florida week. They piddled around and wasted seconds on purpose. It never crossed Florida's mind that LSU would waste a lot of seconds and then fake the field goal. Miles was hoping for a TD on the play.

It doesn't matter who made the wrong play. What matters is that we should not have been in this position, and after a timeout there should have been no miscues. Everything should have gone off perfectly on the play. Convert or not, but it should have been executed.

Someone ran the wrong route. Lee went to throw, the receiver wasn't there, and Lee freaked out.

What sucks is if Lee stayed with the play and looked over to the right, he might have been able to hit Peterson on the out for the 1st down.

I doubt this shite. Everyone looked confused out there.

yeah not to mention the guy who coordinates the offense and the receivers coach. But lets face it this is only 1 of 100 times that our offense has been completely confused about whats going on over the last 2 season. Its systemic and it aint our players. I dont think AU and Alabama are recruiting Rhodes Scholars.

I saw the replay and the guy that was supposed to get the pass was being held and could not get away . That is why Lee had to run.

Were we even eligible to call a time out? Can you call back to back timeouts in college without running a play?

The tall Tolliver was going to run a quick slant in. Notice how Lee is looking for Tolliver the whole time. Once the CB disrupted the play, Tolliver was left with trying to block for Lee with his back. Tolliver had no time to do anything, and neither did Lee. Lee had to start running well before the count of three. It seems like bad offensive line play was the root of the problem, not Lee or Tolliver. The quick slant was what the coaches came up with considering how badly the offensive line was getting beat.

Based on the line play, LSU should have been rolling out or trying to run the ball around the ends for most of the second half. Also, LSU should have had two running backs in the whole half for maximum protection.
