Happens every year. I think more of it is predictive play calling. It's tough for six to block nine.

Bingo.

Not from this year, but here's a good example of that problem. 9 defenders within 5 yards of the ball. Our opponents will many times do this regardless of field position.

watch the replay? Waaay too many whiffs on regular fronts. Very confused on D stunts. Sorry to take it out on specifics, but 74 and 55 had really bad first halves.

we telegraph every play
no creativity in play calling
no use of speed and agile players in space
Les's philosophy and brand of football are known and teams gameplan around that

It's easy to stop us when you know exactly how to prepare for it. Eventually the smaller teams (and occasionally even the big ones) will get worn down by our coach's approach to football, but not always and the people watching will almost always leave unsatisfied with the product on the field.

You know nothing about the sport you watch.

This has a lot to do with it. ULM was putting 10 in the box. We were running right at it.

Maybe. But it seems to me that in recent years Alabama has been able to successfully run the ball against us in the most predictable situations. They run against us even on 3rd-and 6, 8 and longer-and don't have much trouble gashing our d-line. Every 2 years we hear "this is the most dominant o-line at LSU," but by season's end we're maybe 4th or 4th in the conference. The excuses run thin after awhile.
