Last night should have shown everyone who makes decisions the difference a good coach makes.

I by no means think Kelly is a great coach but he was competent enough to exploit LSU's glaring weaknesses. While LSU did little to adjust to UCLA's. Also don't give me that well the players weren't making plays, the other coaches have the same problems and have to adjust.

What if you throw a screen pass every once in a while or take the short middle throws where they vacated to blitz your arse every play.... Hmmmmmm

Like adjust to the obvious TE drag across the middle every time it was an obvious passing down that we never adjusted to stop?

UCLA blitzed damn near every play.

It’s almost like the entire offensive play calling was scripted!

I sometimes wonder if our players aren't smart enough for in game adjustments and have to go with what's been drilled into them during the week. It's been a theme over two different staffs.

This was a huge one. I noticed the Kelly figured out LSU was weak in the middle so he adjusted to not throwing to the outside receivers and it obviously worked. Running the iso worked well for them as well.

LSU obviously could not run up the middle due to the heavy inside blitz, but I never saw wheel routes or bubble screens, or quick pitches to try and get the edge on the blitz. They finally did a few quick hitches and drags that worked well for them but there didn't seem to be a hot route, middle slant, for when they blitzed.

They finally started doing this late in the third quarter.

"I by no means think Kelly is a great coach but he was competent enough to exploit LSU's glaring weaknesses."

Go back and notice again how all the pulling guards / trap runs to the left side of the Field set up the first 75-yard touchdown, and you'll know what good offensive coaching looks like. Got eight defenders on the wrong side of the field heading towards the hash, and left the door wide open to the right flat, sideline and end zone.

Go back and watch what happens on 3rd and long (after a holding penalty) late in the 4th quarter. 17 yard pass to the crossing TE (again) down to the 1.5 yard line.

Before LSU even got half their guys set, the ball was snapped, in perfect formation for a power left sweep. #74 pulls and destroys the edge. Then watch #2 complete his ownership of your #7 with a Pancake supreme:

That's "by no means a great coach?"

After all of college football supposedly "caught up" to Chip by mimicking the no-huddle, blur spread offense (including the entire SEC, led by the two Trojan castoffs that put Bama's offense into the 21st Century), they said the game passed Chip by.

I'd beg to ask your defensive starters about that. You can chalk it up to "miscommunication" all you want: by the way, is that just standard LSU talk for when you got out-coached, out-thunk, out-smarted and out-played?

oh you’re just eating this up aren’t you you sack of shite? UCLA is a dog shite football program and always will be. we are a dog shite program right now and will be until we fire O, but will be back with literally any decent head coach. check the resume.

y’all are about to have the best season you’ve had in years and still won’t even sniff a natty.

know your place.
