Maybe we can get Matt Canada to come back, I mean he's scorching teams in the Big 10 like Michigan.....Harbaugh still having nightmares

I said that as well.

But, I don't think this game justifies that position.

I think Ensminger left points on the board. I don't think he had a great game calling plays. The offense was actually executing better than we've seen all year. Our playcalling seemed disjointed at times. I think we underperformed relative to our execution.

Having said that, this is the first time that's happened this year. And, honestly, I have more confidence in our offense right now than I have.

If we protect Burrow (it's been hit and miss), I think we are going to be in the game against Georgia.

There is nothing about our offense that is crazy. We are playing out of the shotgun the large majority of the time. We have 3 WRs on the field the majority of the time.

Do I think we are doing a good job of stretching the defenses horizontally? No. But, that's probably due to our still developing OL and their ability to protect the QB.

What was so frustrating was we saw we had the ability to move the ball on them but Ensminger for some reason would not call those medium level passes over the middle or actually call passes that would result in first downs rather than relying on the receiver having to run for it after the catch. And then Brosette having a huge drive and then not taking further advantage of that after the fact. The offense wasn't inept, the playcalling was just maddeningly out of tune with what we could have accomplished. That's on E.

That is a little hasty, lets see how these next few games pan out before firing everybody.

This is what the defensive film room looks like for all of LSU'S opponents prior to the game.

This is the problem with the 'We're 5-0!' crowd.

We only lost one game...but this has been a problem all year to anyone with eyes.

They'll all be job hunting because of that move. Maybe not this offseason but definitely by 2020. I can't think of another major program that would make a similar hire. Same goes for O. Alleva has to go before the football program can actually take a step forward to the modern era of college football. Does anyone run an offense like we're seeing LSU trot out there every week?




Maybe LSU should hire you as HC...you seem to know what you are talking about.
Any chance you can turn in your notice now to Piccadilly so you can start immediately? #serveyou #TRfullofidiots

The real telling thing for me was the 3rd and 8, when we're struggling with protection, we have no receivers running a route shorter than 15 yards, nothing developed, Burrow runs for his life, 4th down.

That's fun to watch.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but LSU lost Saturday because they didn’t run enough.

LSU would only consider him if he was previously fired from Piccadilly, after being deemed the worst employee in buffet style restaurant history.

It’s really sad how few people on this board actually understand football.

is it good to be ranked almost dead last in every offensive category in the SEC?

Oh shut up, we were 5-0 coming into the swamp. The offense is in better shape than last year. Just need our Oline healthy to step it up

This board and the coaching staff are pretty equivalent. Neither have ever had success at this level of football. Both groups are also ignorant swamp people, that say foobaw.

I get that we’re disappointed about the loss to Florida. Why don’t we give the “fire the coach, the AD, take your pick” a rest? It makes us look ignorant to suggest that firing
someone is the solution to every problem. Geaux Tigers!!!
