The second half of every game this year.

Apathy on our part...adjustments on theirs.

You can play it on player execution and motivation.

Or you can view every flaw of this team as further evidence that Les Miles should be fired (which it sounds like what you are doing).

LSU under Miles with a two score lead approaches the 2nd half like we all approach a Friday after lunch.

And everybody wants to know why people leave in the 2nd half? Duh...

offense was fine in the second half we just had some freak turnovers that won't be happening again. they will play a full 4 quarters saturday.

One thing I would like to see is the playclock whenever we snap the ball in each half. We were shown that the playcalling and formations didn't go super conservative the second half, but it still feels like we're slowing down the game with a lead.


I could just not like Miles too much.

How is it possible that in all 3 games this year, we have come out in the second half and looked noticeably worse compared to the first half?

Ask yourself how many games in the last 4 years we played the complete game, every quarter

Personally I can not think of any, though certainly there must be a few in the last 4 years.

I don't think the 2nd half performance can be put on coaches this week. Players made plays and were called back bc of penalties, Miss State did a good job on field position battle, and we turned the ball over a few times.
The O-line has got to get better. The second half is when they're supposed to take the game over. Not happening.

I'm with several here, we're not that bad in second half.

I do see where that perception comes from, mainly points scored. The one game where we weren't ahead (Whisky) points were scored. Just not enough. It's understandable.

As for history, yep... over and over we try to sit on a lead. Did not do that in MSU game, so there's hope... maybe. MSU "foot on gas" was stunted by fumbles. Maybe CLM sees that as a negative and reverts. We shall see. I suspect we won't see that again.

There's a time and place to just line up and dominate the line of scrimmage and run clock. It is a beautiful thing that kind of domination. Except if it isn't working, stop. And you don't do it in 3rd quarter. Seems in the past LSU (i.e. Miles) assumes the opponent plays same type of offense he does. Most definitely not the case.

Yep this game was on the players, period!! We threw the ball 30 freaking times, 30!!

One thing I do believe and agree when Miles says it, execution. We saw the lack of it in the Wisconsin game that basically cost us the game. We have seen it in the second half of the last two games. That's on the players! No way in hell am I blaming that on Miles.
