is accurate throws are the exception. surely you have noticed the numbers of passes thrown behind the wr and the number of extreme overthrows (even on short routes).



and it's been the same with every QB that was recruited and coached under Miles.

it's STILL Less Miles.

its amazing that they only play two good teams a year (us and Ark last year, us and A&M this year, us and A&M next year), and all they have to do is go 1-1 for a trip to the NCG.

oh but theyre the greatest dynasty of all time now, in case you havent heard.

funny the people that blame bad passes, dropped balls or blocking solely on players forget some things.

you should not have many of the above unless it is TALENT problems......

miles is a great recruiter so the talent argument is null and void. that leaves one thing

If Miles and the LSU offense were clickin gon all cylinders, LSU would still be a significant disadvantage by virtue of SEC giving LSU a more difficult conference schedule than Alabama (and Ga.).
The problems with the offense are not new and dispite the obvious nature of these deficiencies Miles has refused to address them.
So, how does a competent program respond to these issues?
Its Athletic Director is called upon 1) to force the conference to deal with the gaping scheduling disparity; and 2) to require the head coach
to address the long festering problems on offense that hold the program hostage.
Absent a spinal implant, Alleva will do neither.
In fact, he's removed his leverage with the pre-Bowl contract extension.
In short, a properly functioning AD deals with these issues that place us at a competitive disadvantage.

right now, their offensive coaching is better. plain and simple


you are correct. i have to add that it seems that we suck at qb recruiting as well. it doesn't seem that we value accurate passing. imo, mett should be on our baseball team. he has outstanding arm strength and he is tough as nails (mentally and physically).

Bama beat us at home, so there goes that argument.

scheduling is set up for them by the friendly sec office. It's easy to get up for 2 regular season games per year instead of 4-5 tough ones like us
Sorry. Sounds too much like an excuse. Last year's 2011 LSU schedule was a monster. How many highly ranked teams did LSU play and beat? I think it was a high point in LSU football, period. I think a tough schedule can bring about the best in a team. It did last year. Until we played Alabama. Beat them the first time, but that marked the beginning of a subtle shift in emphasis - as in, JJ again in the saddle, offense became beyond belief a replay of 2010 predictability, and then we played Bama again. And had nothing that resembled a game plan for victory. We were far more hapless then than ND was last night.

That is a succinct and factual analysis.

Losing Faulk this year really hurt our line as the depth was very young and inexperienced.


Young and inexperienced is a Miles issue and his responsibility to ensure we recruite for need and have them prepared to step in if required. Having to start a redshirt freshman guard and true freshman tackle shows a massive recruting gap. Recruiting is suppose to be Miles strength

Are you denying that the true and redshirt freshmen didn't step up when asked?

they played pretty damn good after the florida game. But I did take this action pic of Vadal Alexander in the Peach Bowl:

LSU lost it's best player before the season started, and lost the best olinemen early in the season. If Faulk and Mathieu were on this team, there may have likely been a better outcome.

Mett is an accurate passer when he is comfortable, the problem is protection and his poor mobility = bad combo for our offense this year.

LSU is predictable so I can't argue #3. And when they try and break tendencies they go too far like 4th quarter of the chicken bowl.

Mett has to throw on a straight line. Any time the throw requires air under it, his accuracy wanes.

To me, only 2 reasons we're not celebrating a NC today.

McCarron is better than Mettenberger, even on Mettenberger's best night, and

We don't have a deep threat like Cooper.

That's it.
