Is not getting blown out by MS State at home at night too high of expectations? Is seeing some creativity, flexibility, and action from the coaching too high of an expectation?

Expectations will always be too high most of the time in any sports. The criticism this staff is facing is legitimate and isn't some brand new problem. It's like after 2008 Miles is terrified to risk turnovers from the QB spot is content to live and die by a predictable and safe offense which results in lots of punts and low points and puts pressure on the defense. Miles has been able to get away with this in the past because LSU fielded some unbelievable defenses, but if you couldn't see that his management of the offense back then was equally problematic then you were blind. Anyone could see this coming as soon as the defense took a step back, which was inevitable.

And lots of people predicted a few losses this season, expectations are often within reason. We looked absolutely terrible Saturday night, and barring the last few minutes of the game, in which Harris and an opening of the offense sparked the scoring, we got our butts kicked by MISSISSIPPI STATE. Albeit the best version of MS. State we've seen in some time, but the performance was inexcusable.

When you expect people to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on tickets, parking, etc the expectations will be high.
