They can’t block whether it’s pass protection or run blocking. Daniels has no time and our backs get swallowed when we try to run the ball.

They need to help the O line with play calling. Need to get the D going east west instead of downhill to the gaps

Still, Daniels needs to throw the ball to space and let the receivers have a chance to make a play.

Even when Daniels has time to pass he can not read the defense. It does not matter and the O-line is not the major problem…Daniels is the problem. .

You guys act as if this team was supposed to be a playoff team. Look at Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M,..
They were highly ranked teams and are doing worse than LSU. Be patient.

Blah blah blame Daniels for everything lol, the WRs constantly drops passes they should catch it’s no excuses. It baffles me the QB is the only one to blame. He’s been avg, WRs below average according to expectations

Daniels has had plenty time this season. If the 1st option is covered he panics and runs or gets sacked. Simple as that.

It was today, but it’s been good enough since FSU.

That’s a fair criticism.

bullshite, Ive seen plenty of 5+ second dropbacks where Daniels holds on to the ball way too long and gets sacked. The guy refuses to throw or he cant throw. Either way hes not helping his OL.

I bet 30-40 % of the passes he had 3+ seconds with several well over 4. It wasn’t time today it was the inability to run.

He had plenty of time in the first half to make the throws and he did at times. There were key plays on some of those drives where they blocked well and Daniels couldn’t get it to open guys

Daniels played one of his better games today. Made some very aggressive throws. Getting behind 10-0 early really messed things up and then Tennessee realized LSU couldn’t run the ball.

LOL. Daniels wasn't the problem today. he was waay better throwing the ball to covered receivers and did it with ZERO running game today. So yes the OLine was the problem. You cannot win much less play a team like UT without your starting guard and tackle. We aren't there yet. And you damn sure can't give UT the ball inside your 25 yrd line twice in the first qtr. That was also the problem. JD is down the list. Yes he missed a couple but he hit #10 in stride for what would have been a TD near end of first half but it was dropped. Don't hear any of you saying anything about that. Would have been 20 - 14 game on. I still don't think we would have beaten TN today. They are a very good team but I think it would have been closer. LSU fans are clueless.

You are not going to win games rushing for less than 2yds pc on 28 attempts with an inconsistent pass game. Daniel's pass inefficiencies are a major reason but today the oline did nothing to help get a win.

Daniels is a 4 year starter. Is he going to figure it out in his 5th year?

finally, someone gets it.

Our OL had injuiries, and we were missing two on the left side. Ten’s DL stunts killed us.

Without a competent OL, there’s nothing any QB or RB can do.

Have we thrown a bubble or tunnel screen all year?

Why can’t we run the ball? Daniel’s isn’t a good QB. But we should still be able to get some first downs and get our defense off the field.

We just have bad players. I feel like we only have a few SEC level players, and everyone else is PAC-14/Big East level. No All SEC or All American players on this team.
