illegal formations, illegal shifts, delay of games, etc.?

Is there a stat website that breaks down penalties into categories like this?

I would hazard to guess that LSU ranks near the bottom of these types of penalties, and has for at least the last three seasons.

I have been the biggest Les Miles defender and fan since he left Oklahoma State, but I can no longer defend what I am seeing.

The continuation of these kind of penalties (and the clock management issues) cannot be attributed to anything except his coaching, period.

The poor QB play is at least 50% on the individual player (Matt Flynn was not incompetent for example under Miles), but the utterly ridiculous number of offensive penalties the LSU has rung up under Miles is almost 100% on him IMO.

It has to stop or Miles has no one to blame but himself when he is fired.

I still love Miles as a man and a motivator but there is no excuse for the ongoing debacle that is the LSU offense.

It's MILES' Responsibility chiefly to make sure that stupid mental mistakes are eliminated. He's clearly done very little to nothing in that department, and it's really just basic fundamentals here we're talking about like knowing where to line up on the line. THIS IN AND OF ITSELF demonstrates to me just how little he has a handle on this football team, and if it wasn't so consistent I could chalk it up as a mistake here and there, but it isn't. It's become the norm.

I think most of the false starts are Jefferson's fault. I think that he has trouble with cadence and with volume.

i agree with you on the Miles as a man and whatever, but discipline is definitely not one of his strong suits...

pre-snap penalties are a DIRECT result of lack of discipline and this program hasn't had the type of accountability to each other and discipline since Saban left....

I see LSU is 88th in fewest penalties per game and 70th in fewest penalty yards per game (out of 120) but no breakdown on types of penalties.
