Our rushing offense is 123rd in the nation

Realistic is that our RBs are averaging 4.9yds/car on the season.

Realistic is that we average 28.1 rush attempts per game (including sacks) and that ranks #134 of 136 in the country.


The run game issues are a play calling issue, not a RB issue.

1. The lack of running game is due largely in part to the fact that we are averaging the 3rd least rushing attempts per game. That is not at all Frank Wilson's fault. Sloan and Kelly promised they would

2. We have a not fully healthy sophomore, a converted QB, and a true freshman as our only guys at the position, and yet we've seen all 3 of those guys have very bright moments.

3. Frank has nothing to do with the fact that the OL has been god awful.

4. The only way Frank even sniffs the full time gig is if he goes 4-0, which is a tremendously tall task. Even if he pulls it off, I'd still expect us to go get someone else. The people wanting Frank as HC after 1 press conference are most likely aware of this, too.

I don’t think you have to worry about LSU promoting Wilson to HC. They didn’t go through all of this mid season just to promote a position coach on the staff. The people in charge at LSU knows they need to make the absolute right splash hire that has the ability to maintain a consistent championship caliber program. I think and hope Frank does stay on the staff though.

Maybe not all his fault, but maybe is y’all

I guarantee you that we will be better at running the ball now that BK/Sloan are gone.

Frank is in charge of the running backs & it’s not like people were saying that Caden Durham & Harlem Berry are bad running backs

We aren't going to blame Frank on the running game first off.

I made you have 4 downvotes, but for you to have 10 upvotes to 3 downvotes shows just how ignorant LSU fans are of how football works. The most that Frank gets to do is swap out RBs, and even then Kelly gets the final call if he wants somebody in on a particular play.

He's not calling plays, he's not coming up with the running scheme, he's not the OL coach, nor is he the QB who doesn't know how to read a friggin RPO.

FSU fans had their problems with Atkins, but that was more based on the OL. He never called the plays at FSU. Crazy part is though, his OLs in 2023 and 2024 broke school records for rushing and had a couple All Americans. They also ran for 200+ yards in 18 of 34 games, including a school record 7 straight 200+ yard rushing games.

Runnings backs when Denbrock was here averaged 5.4 and 5.3 ypc. Caden Durham averaged 5.4 ypc last year as a true freshman. Harlem Berry is currently averaging 4.9 ypc (Durham 4.8), and they could legit both be over 5 a carry when a HC and OC that actually cares about running the ball, will try to run the ball.

In truth you just don't want Frank to be the HC even if he wins out.Yall are the same people that sucked Ed O's dick for being horrendous at Ole Miss, and only winning against the weak and mediocre teams during his interim stint. The man had 8 interim games (went 6-2), and only TWO of those wins came against teams with winning records. A 7-6 team and an 8-5 team.

Anyway, HC stuff aside, i expect LSU to turn into more of a run first team. They are going to protect Nuss, which i wish they just put MVB in, but it is what it is.
