I don't know why people keep saying this.

Jordan Jefferson struggled to reach 100 yards passing a few times in a single season, and we still dominated teams on the ground.

That's a poor excuse. We didn't struggle to run because FSU stacked the box last night, that's where you're wrong. We struggled to run because their Dline dominated our Oline in the run game.

This guy gets it. It’s the unpopular opinion, but the accurate one.

Facts: LSU’s O line was soft last night. Not physical. Got no push at all at the LOS. Florida State’s D-line was far more physical and dominated our O line.

We weren't doing that out of the shotgun and we weren't doing it on read option plays where the offensive line doesn't actually know where the ball is going.

One of the biggest issues that Daniels causes is no one knows what the frick he's going to do. It works in our favor sometimes and sometimes it ends in dropped passes, missed blocks, etc
