re: Hit the panic button on Mettenberger

The bottom line was the quote from the Towson DE, post game, who stated, bluntly, "we knew LSU cann't pass, so we loaded the box". This is not from a typical ranter but from an opposing player who'd studied film on LSU's passing offense. And when a team "cann't pass", for better or worse, it does start with the QB. Re the OL, go back & reread all the preseason predictions: it was supposed to be LSU's deepest & most talented OL in decades. Yet, we lose on starter & now we cann't run or pass block? The WR's were a preseason question mark & that is holding up. Play calling has always been an issue with regards to CLM, but with this, it's easy to see why he's hesitant to give the passing game much freedom. Mett & the OL has not seen a real SEC blitz yet,as AU's was not real test. The big boys from USCe, Fla, A&M, and bama are going to be licking their chops if this is not turned around now.
