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 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.

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.

After Chark had the long to catch for a TD MSU keep a safety over top on him efrectively doubling him the rest of the game. Canada tried little quick routes for him in 2nd half which got him a couple catches. Yeah he had a big drop down the middle late in the game, but taking into account the circumstance (down big) and the throw (slightly rushed, trying to make a play) I'm not holding that against him.

As far as the running goes, other than a safety doubling chark, everyone else was effectively in the box. A little more offensive creativity and less predictability maybe spreads their defense out more and that 4.8 yards a carry maybe is 6
