Offensive Analysis of Arkansas game
Posted on 11/23/14 at 11:06 am

Re-watching the game yesterday, I am perhaps the only person outside the LSU program who was encouraged by what I saw out of the offense.
Drive Summary:
Drive 1: Bad snap by Porter. There was no recovering from that. Punt.
Drive 2: Drive started inside the 10. Converted two 3rd downs before two blockers completed missed a pass rusher. Jennings sacked. Drive stalls.
Drive 3: LSU converts 4 third downs and gets to the Arky 10. 2nd & 7. Jennings makes a bad read and forces a pass to Dural rather than hitting an open TE for a TD. His only bad decision of the night IMO. Delahoussaye inexplicably misses a 27 yd FG.
Drive 4: Three and out. Jennings sees a hole in the middle and tries to run for it, but is stopped well short.
Drive 5: LSU drives to the Arky 20. Jennings sacked on 3rd down. Another Delahoussaye miss.
Drive 6: Also started inside the 10. Down 10-0 we went conservative to prevent Arky from getting a cheap score. Three and out.
Drive 7: Drives the ball inside the Arky 20 before an unfortunate Jennings fumble.
Drives 8&9: Down 17-0 we go into desperation mode, throwing every down. No success.
Summary:
3/7 drives SHOULD have resulted in points. Player miscues took between 9-21 points off the board.
2/7 drives started inside our own 10 yard line with very little probability of success.
1/7 drives stalled after HUGE mistake by Porter.
1/7 drives resulted in 3 and out.
The high notes observed by this Positiger Apologist saw last night were good decisions, good throws, and good maturity from Jennings. The lowlights were as follows:
- The OL without Alexander, and then without Porter could not run block OR pass block. LSU RBs had 18 carries for 49 yards and Jennings was running for his life nearly every time he dropped back.
- The defense took points away from us by trying to scoop and score rather than Fallon a fumble. Not securing the ball turned a TD into a missed 47 yd FG.
- The team as a whole was obviously drained from the annual Bama hangover.
- When we did transition into more of a "spread" our offense completely shut down.
The short version of this is that I wouldn't expect Harris to see a majority of touches or a movement away from Miles ball against aTm, players just need to execute their individual assignments.
Let the bitching and down votes commence.

the game was very offensive to me

I think the Oline played very poorly, but at the same time, Jennings made a lot of bad throws.
It was at a point where he looked like he was only throwing the ball to try and get a pass interference call and nothing else.

Our O-linemen signal which way we're running the ball. There was nothing encouraging from what I saw. Had Harris played and not played well, I actually would have been less upset because at least we tried to have a spark and show confidence in this highly talented kid.

I didn't really notice this until the 4th Q when we got into "panic mode." Which would make sense... But let me know if I'm misquoting you.

I get your perspective, but what does the one have to do with the other?

Why are we still not "executing" this late into the season? How can we expect to "execute" in the future? I feel like execution is used here like a substitution for bad luck and is an attempt to absolve those responsible of blame.

I did think this was fairly accurate, though..

The fumble was on the Arkansas 19 yard line. We could have kneeled three times and been in FG range.

I think you should have chosen "Polyanna" as your user name.
What a crock.
- Jennings threw a very bad two yard pass to Diarse near the goal line on third and seven.
- With good field position on our first possession of the second half, Jennings took off and ran on third and nine after a microsecond, even when the pocket was holding. He was stopped four yards short of a first down.
I could list others, but what's the point?
We wouldn't have sniffed even field goals if it weren't for drive-extending penalties by Arkansas on third downs.
Our offense was rancid... you can't rescue it, sorry.

True sophomore QB
True sophomore WR
Two true freshman WRs
Two true freshman RBs
And we're average. What did you honestly expect?

Anyone who was encouraged by that offensive performance should have his picture next to the term "sunshine pumper" in any dictionary that defines the term.

Well, to be fair, if our center wouldn't have snapped the ball over Jennings's head in the first quarter, and if Jennings had simply thrown the ball away on a sack in the fourth quarter, we would have saved about 40 yards, making that a whopping 165!

Even the announcers made a comment that they could not blame the defense for trying to scoop and score because of our awful offense

I wish I shite sunshine and pissed rainbows too, but unfortunately I live in reality.

I expect our fuking $6M/Y coaching staff to at least use some imagination and be in top 1/4, but I'm just a season ticket payer what do I know
