My takeaway LSU: offense has a chance to be really good if the OLine stays healthy. Must develop some inside pass game (TE/RB) to help WRs


I was a little disappointed not to see Travis Dickson make an impact In fact other than the dropped TD pass to DeSean Smith, I don't recall any passes thrown to a TE. The absence of a big target was a major factor last night.

I thought they said Dickson didn't play. I liked seeing DeSean out there so much, coaches apparently have high expectations for him.

Yeah, I was excited thinking that our TE's would no longer just be a 6th OL this year...but they were only targeted once.

We tried the screen a few times, but TCU read them like a open book. I think this is why it is great we are playing some friendlier competition the next few weeks to hone these little things.

Would've been hard for Dickson to make a difference...since he didn't play.

It was known in advance that Travis Dickson was unavailable for the game, so no need to be disappointed in that regard.

Did not play presumably due to injury.

Until Les gets rid of the "keep the game close" mentality, the Tigers would be unstoppable.

We took what they gave us. It's hard to show the inside passing when the parameter was WIDE arse open all night. Every screen we tried was sniffed out.

Thanks for the analysis Mr Blackledge.

Mett passed well. Landry = beast! Others wr need to step it up 8-10 drop passes. Cam Cameron B+

Mett had blue on check down a few times, but hit Landry for good yardage instead. Don't worry Todd we got this

That wasn't a drop.
The DB knocked it out (with a little interference).

dude we didn't open it up last night. some end around, hb screens, usual WR routes. I think we'll play around with the offense the next two weeks then kinda play it safe against Auby. We are going to unleash the beast against UGA though.

Didn't play Brazil nor Leslie and only gave Hilliard 1 carry. We played it safe and took what TCU was giving us and that was the WRs.

They run a 4-2-5 with an extra safety hybrid LB. Which makes it much easier for them to cover TE's. They did a pretty good job of it.

The fact that we threw a potential TD pass to DeSean Smith from the very beginning is a big sign that TE's will be utilized more. He should have caught that pass, but he'll make up for it.

This! Do this and this offense could be scary good!

Not sure why they haven't done it. It is a must, especially against the top teams we will play. Need to be able to dump off to TE and RB.

Not a must, but would also like to see some pitch back sweeps to the RB, depending on which RB is in the game.
