re: Cauble says it well

What Cauble says has a lot of truth in it, especially considering how disjointed the play calling has seemed ever since Crowton showed up. The offensive gameplan needs a lot of improvement.

HOWEVER...

The "trick play is a play action pass" on the late 2nd & 2 in fact fooled the defensive coordinator who called us out on our lack of imagination. Complete that pass, and we win.

GEAUX TIGERS

Talent will get LSU far but we need coaching to make the next step and not to get embarrassed.

...well , what can you say .. spot on . True dat, cher.

106 PLAYS

lonnie, do you still blindly defend les miles?

im not reading this whole thread

The problem is mostly system and style. Poor execution can be read into any play that gets sniffed out.

If you have 5 years of piss poor execution, then your offensive staff should be fired since they are incapable of getting better execution from our highly recruited, exceptional athletes.

One of the problems is that, on a big stage, LSU plays scared (schematically) when it gets the lead.

We get so conservative that everyone in the stadium knows what is going to be run.

We need a complete fricking overhaul of offensive scheme and identity. This shite isn't working, and it isn't going to.

Agree completely.

Re the comment "we get so conservative.............". Have you watched a Saban coached team over the yrs? He lost more than one game while at LSU going conservative once he had the lead. The point being, it's almost natural for any coach to slow it down in those situations, unless it's early in the game. And when you consider the QB's that LSU has had under CLM..and yes, I agree it is his fault...LSU almost has to play conservative with the lead. It was not a coincidence that CLM took the pass out of Mett's hands after his rough start to this season.

So refreshing to hear it put like that

The last drive was typical Les Miles. He had 2nd and 2 and had been running the ball as usual up to that point, why the need to suddenly pass is what always leaves a person(fan) scratching your damn head. Tell the Oline buckle down along with big Copeland and give it to Hill to get that first down. Having Mettenberg rollout and all that crap is not needed. But this is what makes you scream at the TV. All during the game he played Les Miles football trying to pound it out and wear down Clemson's DLine when he should have spread them out with the pass to set up the run and gouged them greatly with Hill up the gut. He nevers does that though, it's typical Les Mile ball and opposing DC's know what's comin, then when the game is on the line at the end it is really easy for them to shut down LSU.
