Improvements on offense I saw last night

not saying we are a well oiled machine but from an execution standpoint we made some attempts and some strides last night.
1) blocking by OL much improved
2)blocking by WR's and TE's much improved; even saw some downfield blocking by the WR's
3) AJ suffered several coverage sacks. these may be unsuccessful plays but we had a QB that stayed in the pocket and actually looked for open receivers; more than one. i'm sorry that he didn't find any but florida does have some damn good DB's. it was actually encouraging to see one of our QB's not panic and it was encouraging to see a pocket last a few seconds.
4) we actually attempted some short passes and some were successful. our FB caught 2 or 3 key passes and Quinn caught some also. we even tried a coupla slants. these werent' successful but we will get better at them if we keep trying.
while none of these seem like a huge step forward it does indicate to me we are moving in the right direction, esp the OL and other blockers. I am encouraged. after the clusterfrick at auburn and msu where total panic prevailed maybe there's a ray of hope.

Terrific. By the end of the season we might progress from awful to merely bad.

The fullback, the slants, the across the middles were a much needed addition to the mix. Florida had so many fines plays it was sick. For some reason we think it's not a good play unless we crash into someone. Florida had plenty of passes out of the back field that were nice and we should too.

LSU may progress, but you will remain awful.

Yea rex. The west is such a push over for a fresh/soph dominated team with two QB's who have played in 7 games...total

The only thing I saw was on third and very long, LSU made a personnel move with Desean Smith. Florida, saw that he was running up the seam, allowing Dural to be open down the sideline.

I don't think Cameron is earning his salary. I also think Mett made Cam look good last year and not vice versa. So sue me.

I agree Cam seems a poor investment right now as well.

You do realize that other teams can bring in new QBs and get at least competent production. Outside of last year, the last 7 years have absolutely abysmal QB play.
Why is that? Les Miles, that's why

I don't understand why we can't get plays in faster. Consistently breaking the huddle with 15 seconds on the play clock.

What teams what QB's and what level of competition?

Geogia, aTm, Alabama, to name a few. And look through all of Division 1 CFB, there are dozens of freshman and sophomore QBs who regularly complete 50% of their passes and throwing for less than 200 yards is the exception to the rule.

Here 10 of the top 20 are freshmen and sophomores.

maybe. but we scored 30 points last night and that's a damn improvement. we made first downs and kept the defense off the field. and the florida defense, esp at home, is stout. I was esp. impressed with their secondary.
instead of bitching and whining and complaining (which does absolutely NO good) maybe you should pull for our players. you hate the coaches, I get that. but if you can't pull for them to improve what's the use of even following LSU football?

The dude from bama has been in the system longer than our two combined.
tx a&m is not doing well.
Not a large sample size there brah.
Look, I know it happens but I think its the exception not the rule on young QB's coming in a tearing sh!t up as freshman or with few games played.
We are not QB university. We all know this. But our two QB's have 7 games total. Still early to me.

in the SEC west there may not be even one. maybe the aggie guy but he hasn't looked good until the games against the Mississippi schools had their way with him. facing future NFL front sevens is a HELL of a lot tougher than facing inferior players.

It was just an example of several teams with freshmen and sophomores who can competently play QB.
We don't need Johnny Manziel or anybody like that, but why do Les Miles coached teams constantly have subpar QB play.
I'd be happy with just slightly below average QB play now, but frick how can anyone defend Miles on this. Our QB play has been suit every single year since 2007 with the exemption of last year.
In fact, I'd say let year just shows how special Mett was considering he put up this numbers in Les' shiftiest of an offense.
Young or not, there is no excuse for LSUs Qb play to be this bad year after year.

Did we win last night? Or lose?
Some miserable fricks in this fan base.

And then they do that stupid look at the sideline crap and Jennings starts yelling at the OLine with 5 seconds left. I hate it

I saw more big third down conversions that extended drives and allowed more time of possession!
