104th in the nation in Red Zone TD efficiency...

Great game, Tigers. I'm proud of y'all.
There's always room for improvement, and the red zone offense potentially lost the game at Florida and kept South Carolina in this one.
LSU has scored a TD when in the red zone 46.9% of the time (15/32). That gives LSU the 104th lowest percentage excluding UTSA, Texas St, UMass, and S. Alabama.
Louisiana Tech, Georgia, and Texas are the top three teams in this category by scoring TDs 86.8%, 82.6%, and 80.0% of the time.
Tech has 21 rushing and 12 passing red zone TDs.
Georgia has 13 rushing and 6 passing red zone TDs.
Texas has 15 rushing and 9 passing red zone TDs.
LSU has 13 rushing and 2 passing red zone TDs.
Green Bay (73.33%), New Orleans (66.67%), and Denver (66.67%) lead the NFL in TDs per red zone possession.
Looks like the best red zone teams have more balance than LSU does in the red zone.
Let's try something new, coaches.

Jesus Christ. Do you people ever enjoy a win? We HAVE to bitch about something all the time.

I agree, running between the tackles into 9 man fronts is getting kinda old.

We hae an immobile QB that we don't trust to throw in the Red Zone. The defense can focus on other players. We either need a credible throwing threat or let Ware run the Warecat.

How's it working out for them right now?

Yeah, UGA sure looked good against South Carolina last week. Almost as good as Texas against OU yesterday

Some of you people are incredible.
No it isn't.
The pick by Mett that gave USC the ball at the one yard line and the huge punt return by Ace Sanders kept USC in the ball game. Neither of those were red zone plays.
Try something new?
We had over 400 yards off offense in this game with 258 coming on the ground against one of the best 5 defensive lines in the entire country. Yardage wise, these guys were only about 12 yards off of Bama's run defense beforet this game. We MANHANDLED them. Our rookie offensive line absolutely blew these guys up all night long.
Yet you guys are still bitching about the offense. How stupid.

Seems like the coaches are scared of throwing a pick in the red zone.

Our red zone offense is a concern. It is the only thing that kept last night from being a blowout. 3 FGs when we are inside the 7 is not good. That said, Alabama had the same issues last year in the red zone and overcame it. Here is to us doing the same thing.

You don't have a tall WR. I'm not surprised

It's a setup for Bama. We'll do play action passes with roll outs to Shepard who is a mismatch against any linebacker he faces.
I'd love to see us run the same play that USC did last night to #1 Sanders for a TD where he's against our strong safety Loston. No strong safety or LB can keep up with him 1 on 1.

LSU has scored 2 touchdowns in 11 red zone appearance vs. SEC teams
So I don't expect 80%, but we have to get better than 18%
I was surprised we still had the issue last night with the way the oline played

the Zebra Cake Zone. ESPN will start highlighting from the 20 to the endzone with zebra stripes to give Stud his due.
