You still have to put the points up bro, and that's what we did. Sure the playcalling seemed suspect this year and that's because we had a qb that couldn't make the throws. Crowton has a great passing offense. If you watch, we have people running free over the middle all game, but Lee wasn't making the throws. That's not a reflection on Crowton. Crowton did the best he could with a struggling QB.

If you watched the way the play calling drastically changed after LSU got up on ARK 30-14 and the way the staff handcuffed JJ then you would understand what I'm talking about.

Which would be a time to call the game in a safer way. The D just didn't step up. How was he handcuffed? They still did passing plays. JJ wasn't as good in the second half as he was in the first.

Umm, No we did not. After getting up 30-14 the coaching staff called plays that were an attitude of "lets get a few 1st downs and get out of here with a win". If you had the defense that LSU had this year would you have been happy with a 2 TD lead early in the 3rd quarter to feel good enough that you were going to win the game? I'm sorry but I didn't and if I was coaching I wouldn't either and I would have kept the peddle to the metal and gone for at least 2 more scores to put the game totally out of rich. But, LSU has never been that way; it was the same way under Dumbo Fisher before Crowton got here. It's absolutely absurd. Give me a Play caller that attacks like OU, Florida, USC, Boise State, Arkansas, Texas, Texas Tech, OSU and others do and then I'll be happy. I don't like a passive and playing not to lose mentality and I think it usually causes more harm than good when you play that way and I can think of endless examples of how it has harmfully affected LSU over the years. Even if a team has a great or good defense I would still continue to put nails in the coffin and put away any doubt about the game’s ending result.
