Problem is that our 1st downs haven't looked any different than 3rd downs for most of the year. We keep it on the ground.

That worked for the most part because we were able to stay ahead of the chains on 1st & 2nd downs. We had a lot of 3rd and shorts. When we had 3rd and long, we were not very good, especially with JJ at QB. Les knows that of course but with our defense he chose to play it safe and let the D get the ball back for us. That works against nearly every college team out there. It worked against every team we played this year except Alabama because their defense is good enough to keep us in bad down/distance situations and their offense is good enough to move the ball on our defense.

Why is Les Miles calling plays in the 1st place? He said the word, "I", when referring to play calls at least three times in that press conference. LSU's ineptness on offense will continue as long as Les Miles continues to call plays. Saban doesn't do that.
