re: Stark contrast in coaching

"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?
