but is LSU slow?

It seems like our running backs are very slow, in and out of the hole. Watching bama last night made me realize how hard they hit the hole. Also, it seems like bama's defensive line was considerably faster than ours. I don't want to sing the same song about coaching, but it just makes you wonder. Could it be because I watch LSU play every week or are we actually "slower" than other teams. Even in some of the smaller bowls. I suppose we have good "track", or straight line speed. We are just lacking "football" speed, and instincts,

And coaching....sorry, had to throw it in there

"against contrary belief"

sounds like something i heard in philosophy class.

in response to your question though: i think we looked slower because it took so damn long to setup our runs.

i think we were slow this year due to most of the guys not knowing what to do on offense ie: thinking too much. I believe we have as good if not better athletes than bama they just aren't being coached and used properly.

I think we worry about fumbling too much. They knew if they fumbled, they would rot on the bench. Too scared of screwing up.

All teams appear slow if they don't know their assignments. If they have to think before they react, they are beat.
