For all of you crying for a new OC or HC/OC what specifically would you change?

I can see your butt hurt about the hate on Les Miles from your post. It doesn't matter what I think needs to be changed or, in your case, who should be defended. We need a TRUE OC again like Jimbo and that is all, we need a man Les Miles can't walk all over.

Boom-Shocka-Locka

Throwing more on first down wouldn't hurt.

All I'd like to see is for us to not go turtle at the first sign of adversity in the passing game. You aren't helping your QB's confidence that way.

I love the logical and well thought out response of "you are butt hurt".


Does the use of this term arise solely from your ignorance and immaturity or from a history of being anally raped?

What specifically would you change with the offense and what adjustments would you have made in Fla game specifically?

What would your attack be to start the game? I would establish the run, then run play action, along with more screen passes/draws to slow down the pass rush.

more shotgun formation? Yep

what different formations? More max protect, how about dual back sets to put our best players on the field?

faster tempo? I don't think that's the answer.

more play action? YEP.

more passes across the middle? yep.
more out passes? NO.

more inside/outside running? Our running game is fine, except maybe a little too predictable.

more traps? Sure.

more option? Not with Met.

different personel? at what positions? Need to find WRs that can catch.

insertion of some "trickeration"? Trickeration always helps an undertalented offense- we can use more of it.

I agree that this is a sign of faith in the QB and is often effective. It does need to be mandated by field position though in my opinion. Deep in your own endzone is not the time to be risking a INT in what is tauted to be a Defensive game/conference. This was part of JL problem. Freaking flats passes inside of our own 30 where an INT was a sure pick6.

I do not have the time at the moment to break down the entire game but I did a little break down of the first half.

LSU had 7 posessions.
Of those we ran 27 non kick/punt plays with 9 being on the first drive, meaning all of the other posessions were 3 plays and kick.

LSU ran 12 times and passed 15 (although the stats may disagree because sacks are considered a run with lost yardage and the failed attempted jump pass was considered a rush).

On first down LSU ran for 7/11 and threw for 4/11

LSU's starting field position was in order of posession:

LSU 22, 9, 6, 21, 8, 40, and then Fla 7. LSU threw on first down in the 1st and 4th possesions which have the bolded starting position.

What may be even more telling is the sucess of those rushing and passing attempts. Excluding penalties for (1 on a rush) and against (1 on a pass), the first posession had an average rush of 4.25 yrd per attempt and 9.4 yards per pass attempt. With penalties those averages change to 8 for rushing and 6.4 for passing.

The remaining 6 posessions resulted in 3.378 yrds per carry rushing and -1 yrd per attempt passing.

This gives LSU a first half average yard per attempt for rushing of 3.66 and passing 2.46 without penalties.

Passing also resulted in 1 turnover where as rushing did not account for a turnover in the first half.

You hire an OC that can "USE THE PERSONNEL" on board and grow it to the needed one.
then,
you communicate with them BUT you LET THEM DO THEIR JOB

Throw a screen pass more than once a season

With the injuries we were probably screwed, but I would like to see what Florida did to us. We have done this in the past. Use more of the Jet Sweeps with Shep, but let him throw the ball. If Ware can throw, I think Shep can. I would like to see Shep in the wildcat. He was very sucessful doing this. Again, I would like to see him throw out of this formation. Quick passes, slants, screens, etc out of the shotgun. Cut the field in half so that Mett only needs to scan half the field instead of the entire field. If he can't read the defenses, make it easier for him to do so by using half the field. Let runs some reverses or double reverses. Misdirection is the key to keep the defenses guessing on what we will do.

They're have been dozens of examples of things lsu can try/improve on. Thanks for starting your on thread to tell us that you're knowledgeable about football.
