Clock management is not the problem

they are all problems that don't seem to be getting corrected.

I agree those issues over the long haul are troubling, yet the fundamental failure of the coaching staff to have the plays ready tells me they will not fix the other issues either.

Clock management (as bad as it was) is simply not nearly as much a concern as dropped passes, turnovers and penalties.

If those had been solved LSU would have been kneeling the ball with a 2 touchdown lead. Yes, clock management wasn't great but I'd much prefer seeing the Tigers with a potent enough offense that it doesn't matter.

seems like a problem to me? when you are aware that your offense is not doing well you damn well better know what to do when the game gets down to crunch time. you should prepare your team for a close game and have YOUR frickING PLAYS CALLED BEFORE your teams goes out on the field.

"we should of had 2 plays called" -LM well at least he "learned"

same problems but droppped passes and misques hurt the whole game.....clock management with a chance to win seals the deal on losing a game....

Right. It was dumb luck that won us that game at the end.

I've just come to accept that anytime LSU is in a close game at the end now, we're just going to have to witness complete randomness and pray that we luck out the win. There is no strategy.

It's every bit as much of a concern

You have to expect that at some point you're going to be in close games. Clock management becomes critical in these situations.

It's fricking incredibly stupid to just dismiss it as "not a big deal because the game shouldn't have been that close"

The game WAS that close. So according to your logic, in fantasy land it's not that big of a deal.

Powerman nails it. One of the things LSU should have been doing the first four games is working on its 2:00 offense, so that if you find yourself in a situation where you need to drive for a TD or a FG, then the team will be familiar with the drill (and so will the coaches).

Not planning on that inevitability is the fault of the head coach who makes millions of dollars a year, not some 20-year-old.

you win the "I love JJ and Miles, and will blame things on anything and everything but these 2 clowns, forever and forever amen" homer award of the century.

What's "the" problem is not the problem. The fact that that it's "a" problem is the problem. The problem with all the other problems are not as problematic as what the problem that this problem causes. Problem is, they're all problematic and they all need to be solved. But the biggest problem is that we have NO PROBLEM SOLVER!!

We were out of timeouts with 32 seconds left to go on 2nd and 1, and Jefferson went in for Lee after an incomplete pass where no PI penalty was called on Clement. The rest is history.

As to why JJ didn't understand the situation on his own, we are all equally dumbfounded.

+1.

The poor performance is shared by Miles and the Players.
