My game assessments

There won't be too many teams stopping our run game.

Can't rely on a run game and not be proficient in the passing game only when you "need" it.

I liked what i saw from Russel Shepard on that TD that was called back. He actually looked like a WR with the route he ran.

---

Your other points are good, but no way Shepard was crisp on that play. It was a great play and I'm glad Shep did everything he need to do, but his route running could have been a little better for a senior.

I was too concerned with beer and conversation. Only glanced at score to be sure an a abomination was not occurring

The QB play basically looked like it has the last 3 years?

That is the basics?

Little disappointed with our play calling in different situations but we will improve in each game. If Lsu screws around next week we will have a tough time.

---

You're right. I think they bring it all together next week though

My game assessments

This was a typical Miles effort. Signs of greatness and concern in the same game. The exception, not the rule is when we click on all facets.

My biggest concern was the pass protection for Mett and sloppy execution. This was game one, but against weaker opponents like N Texas, we should not struggle in those areas.

We will have a good year and hope its a great one.

@MichaelBrockers: @RuebenRandle true but it's also non conference as well don't wanna show the whole play book in week 1 do you??

I hope there are more passing plays than we saw last night, I hope this isn't a preview of what is to come.
You can't play scared especially in the SEC. this team looked like the team of 2years ago.
Last years team won most of the games going away and looked unstoppable at times.
That assessment of "same stuff as last year" I'd say is off.

I think we are disappointed because we expected a wide open passing game aka Drew Brees and we didn't get that.

These guys are going to have to trust their arms and the coaches are going to have to let them make some hard throws..IMO

As for the "running game" ...maybe the best I've ever seen.


I think the biggest thing the team needs to address is the OL. Looked like Mett was under pressure the whole game. And that looked like the last several years of LSU football.
The OL can make a below average QB look great and an above average QB look bad.

My question is: When will LSU get a Coach that can coach them an above average OL?

I had great hope when we threw on 3rd and 1 early in the game. Shocked the hell out of me, then went back to the norm.
