I really do not understand why we were letting the play clock get all the way down to ~3sec every play. It made everything seem rushed and took us out of rhythm.

UCLA was running a lot of exotic fronts/blitzes that (I think admittedly) somewhat surprised LSU. That, coupled with a young/inexperienced QB, forced them to take more time/look to the sideline to try to figure things out.

We can talk about the 2019 concepts all we want. But there is a BIG difference between a 5th year QB running that offense and a guy making his 3rd ever start and first in front of a visiting crowd where he was having to deal with noise for the first time.

In hindsight could LSU have gone more uptempo? Maybe. But I think they were more focused on making sure they got things right rather than going fast with a lot of uncertainty. Yeah, we are all blaming LSU's coaches. But credit UCLA as well. They had a good plan.

I get that what your saying, but UCLA is not blitzing every play if we up the Tempo. By going so slow, you are letting the Defense dictate the game. I'm just saying if you want 2019 offense you got to have Tempo. We were the fastest scoring team in the country. I really don't buy the new OC stuff, Joe Brady was a damn virgin and had them prepared to run no huddle. I also think Max is capable of running it mentally. I just think as a staff they are missing the mark on strategy. I will not give credit to UCLA to running freaking engage 8 all game, I just think our coaches were damn morons for not running screens, no-huddle offense, and seams to make them stop.
