Not much to be overly excited about there, especially offensively.

As a whole, this really was our weakest offense since 2009. I'm confident a more experienced O-line will truly help out, barring any injuries, but if Canada is here next year, those numbers have to go up big time.

The one thing that sticks out to me is red zone offense. LSU was abysmal in the red zone this year. Hopefully we can make some strides in that area beginning with the bowl game.

How about we hire a special teams coach?

You'd have to believe that if LSU could improve the passing game, then the scoring and red zone would take care of themselves. It's not just on the QB either; OL protection and WR need to improve, as well.

I was impressed with how the penalties were address. We were headed down a dark road early on.

Our 4th down efficiency is higher than our 3rd down efficiency. Yikes.

Those offensive stats are particularly concerning when you consider this.
Prior to TAMU game stats
TAMU Stats
Total defense: 45
Scoring defense: 68
Rush defense: 56

Keep in mind the following:
Time of possession: 71
Total offense: 68
Turn over margin: 20
Passing efficiency: 89 (they lost their QB starter in game 1 and have him back now)


2017
Wins
Total Defense: 76
Rush Defense: 81
Scoring Defense: 74

Opponents Records (17 wins against non P5 and FCS schools)
Average wins: 5
Average Losses: 6

Losses
Total Defense: 10
Rush Defense: 3
Scoring Defense: 11

Opponents Records
Average wins: 9
Average Losses: 2

Offensive production has got to improve or we will never play for championships

This is not good. It’s not even average. It is bad. And worse than what it has been if you can believe that. We can’t win championships like this. We can’t pay a guy 1.5 million for these results. I have been saying this for a couple weeks and have somehow gotten painted as a pro-O, negatiger, fricking a-hole. Which is absurd. I have been using objective facts.

Look at the teams still in the playoff hunt and see where their offenses are compared to ours. Pretty telling.
