re: what is the factor that is keeping us from consistently dominating?

It's recruiting. Not enough emphasis placed on getting the big uglies in the trenches. It's been a wekness for LSU for a long time. Look at the bama game. We came out on fire well prepared with a great game plan but just got beat down as the game progressed. MIles recruiting doesn't match his philosophy. He wants to beat down the opponent and establish dominance with the run game but doesn't recruit the guys in the trenches to do it with. Need to change to a more open offense to match our personnel.

Miles is a great guy and a good coach but he doesnt have a killer instinct

We don't have the type guys in the trenches to have a 'killer instinct' type team. He tries to keep pushing that smash mouth 'killer instinct' type philosophy but with out the personell to do it with. Need to get away from that and go more with a team that establishes the passing game in order to open up the run game instead of the other way around. JUst might happen with Jennings though hopefully. He's the type QB that doesn't need a good pocket to pass from and will be hard to contain. Won't have to smash it up the middle with him at QB.
