T bob article on last night's game

Throughout Saturday’s game, all the various social media feeds I am required to watch were inundated with “LES MILES SUCKS” and “TERRIBLE PLAY CALLING” themed messages. While this isn’t a surprise, I find it frustrating, as I feel these comments completely miss the point as to why LSU got dominated offensively. LSU didn’t lose because of their game plan. They lost because they got DOMINATED up front. You can’t suddenly change your offense in the middle of a season. A power running team doesn’t wake up one day and suddenly decide they are going to run the spread. LSU’s offensive success is predicated on running the ball successfully in order to set up big plays in the passing game. In order to run the ball successfully, the offensive line has to be able to open some holes, something that they were completely unable to do in this game. LSU’s passing attack could have perhaps made some plays - however the pass blocking wasn’t much better either as the line gave up multiple sacks and pressures throughout the night. Coming into the game, we said the offensive line was the X-factor as far as deciding the outcome of this game and that proved to be true. Unfortunately for LSU fans, it was the offensive line’s exceedingly poor play that led to the loss.
Solid analysis from the big guy

T-Bob gets it. Its the OL people! They just got dominated and were not mentally and physically prepared to deal with what they were facing with. More so mental IMHO. Nothing seriously wrong with our D. They have weaknesses like all units. But that is not why we lost. TOP stats tells it all

This is BS. We didn't run straight up the middle against Florida. We used misdirection and even a couple trick plays. So why so vanilla vs Bama?
I can't take people seriously when they believe you either run the I formation or the spread and there is no in between.

Hard to argue with what he says there.

Very good analysis by T-Bob.
Posted on 11/8/15 at 4:01 pm to Deuces
Perfect analysis. That is exactly what happened.
Posted on 11/8/15 at 4:02 pm to Deuces
He's become my go-to voice of reason. Former player, played for Miles, very well-spoken, very objective takes whether it's good or bad, etc.

I heard the reason we lost is that T-Bob and Harris got into a fight in the locker room before the game....

Can't wait to see all the rantard couch coaches tell him he's wrong.
Posted on 11/8/15 at 4:03 pm to Deuces
Okay, then we will always lose to Alabama with this strategy.
Eta and what about a draw or screen to counter their defense?

Agree with everything he says, but I wonder what he thinks about the quality of Bama's lines versus the quality of ours. The disparity between Bama's d-line and our o-line was like NFL versus community college.

So when the run game gets completely shut down, there's nothing in the GAMEPLAN that can lead to any type of success.

If T-Bob says coaching, if you call what BDP does coaching, isn't an issue, he's being less than truthful. Our kick-off coverage and return teams are bad and have been all season. As far as returns, Guice got crushed by unimpeded missiles. Where is the wedge???? There's no method to BDP's madness. The guy is inept and Les has sat back and done nothing or very little to remedy this embarrassment.
That is a coaching issue.

He gets it. All of the folks on here indicating that our defense sucks and Harris blows are missing the point in what happened last night. How many times did you see Alexander, Tuehuema and Pocic being pushed backwards. It occurred all night. The Alabama d-line rotation kicked our guys arse up front. That dictated the outcome of the game.

No one is asking for us to run the spread. We are saying that you can't have an offense that does the exact same thing for 85% of the game, especially against teams that are built to stop your go-to play of choice.
Lsu ran the ball up the middle and got fricking nowhere all night. It never worked. We don't need a spread offense to avoid this. We need to not be so fricking chicken little about passing because we are afraid of what could go wrong.
Am I the only one asking WTF is this team going to do if we ever lack elite running backs?

I love how Miles is blameless year in, year out. I'm in the wrong line of work.

Dominated?! Then we should have the horses to beat bama. The road to the SEC championship runs through bama 9 out of 10 times. If you don't have the horses to dominate bama's defensive line then why are we running this type of offense? We see this year after year. We always recruit an abundance of speed players, but not enough horses. We only have 2 OL on this years recruiting list. I sure hope he can land at least 2 more.

I mean, I thought going in we would have tried to run outside at least a little, but I can't disagree with what he said really.
