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.
