By blaming the players more than the coaches you proved my point. Fitzgerald was quoted as saying something to the effect of when he ran he always had multiple blockers in front of him. Now tell me how often did we have varied blocking schemes? For example how often would 2 OL pull to the open side of the field blocking for Guice? I know that MSU did that all game because they as coaches are smart enough they couldn't beat up employing our style of coaching/playing of let's see who's stronger in the trenches. Our coaches have to do more to put our players in positions to win. You can't keep asking Guice to run up the middle with 8 or 9 in the box. You can't keep asking Chark to run fly routes double covered with Etling throwing him the ball. And you can't keep asking our OL and DL to be predict up front.

Issues of depth are not the fault of the players on the field today. Blame falls squarely on the shoulders of LSU's recruiting staff over the past 4 years and the players who left early.

Our RB's were averaging 4.6 yards per carry.

Half the time he was wide arse open because the safeties were in the box. Chark just couldn't hold onto the ball. Chark had more drops than catches.

There was nothing wrong with the play selection. The best run/pass mixture in the world will not work if the linemen commit penalties and the WR's cannot catch.
