LSU Defense

I've been thinking lately of our poor offensive production, and I have come to the conclusion that it may not be 100% the offense and coaches fault. Yes, I know that 109th in the NCAA is absolutely terrible (especially with our talent), but I heard a stat from the game Saturday that said we only had 47 offensive plays.

The defense has played very good since the Washington game. They held a great team in Florida to 13 pts which is awesome, but it seems we have this bend but don't break attitude to our defense. I guess this is Chavis's philosophy. I'm not sure, but when teams can sustain drives for a long period of time our offense isn't going to have as many opportunities. This may have been a reason why Russell Shepard did not play in the game Saturday. I still think he should have had a few snaps even though we only had 47 plays.
I would like to see a little more aggressiveness so that we can have more 3 and outs and force a few more turnovers.

With that said I am very happy with the scoring defense. I am very dissatisfied with the offensive management by the coaches and players. Maybe it is just the offense's fault by not sustaining drives that we only had 47 plays. It could be the mixture of the defense and offense. Maybe a lack of big plays in special teams. I don't know for sure.

We should scrap the no huddle BS and start trying to make plays instead of afraid of making a mistake (JJ holding on to ball and getting sacked).

Lets step it up against the Barn this next week and lets support the team no matter how difficult it gets this season.
