The offensive line isn't very good.

Kiffin/Weis mask those deficiencies with the quick passing game. Leavitt helps with his legs as well.

When we're in the redzone, it becomes much harder to do this due to spacing so we struggle.

If we actually ran a "vanilla" offense, we'd likely be VERY bad as this line isn't very good.

Injuries? We don't seem to have a big wide out except Tre but he's hurt and not a prototype wide out

Sam had all day to throw. He took bad sacks and couldn’t deliver the ball where it needed to go.

LSU has never been able to run on Alabama in the history of college football

name one creative play we called in the red zone, just one. The amount of yards you racked up has zero significance when you only score 13 points.

The problem isn't a vanilla offense. It's a Swiss Cheese O line. It's better than last year, but not nearly good enough to play with the better SEC teams. This group has to be a major target in recruiting.

It's hard to run a creative play when the defense has no respect for the run game so they sit back in 2 deep with all eyes on the QB

But did you forget the WR pass by Wilson into double coverage or when they tried the misdirection to Green that worked against Auburn to the other TE.

Priority 1 this off-season has to be the O-line and TE room

Lsu needs to run the ball. That sets everything up. Weis goes away from the run


Had when 4/5 of the O line is garbage

Because Bama was sitting back and letting them have everything underneath.

Still didn't answer my question. I saw none of the misdirection I saw previously with lane at Ole Miss. When he had dart he used misdirection and throw backs. Different screens.

Use some of that in the redzone. 450 yards means absolutely shite If u can't score.

Womack sat back and let lsu make mistakes.

There was nothing to be schemed up tonight, for the most part.

They got consistent pressure with 4 and dropped 8. That’s a defensive coordinators wet dream.


It's not just tonight. And you have to scheme shite up to score.

It’s like the opposing defense knows exactly where the ball is going on every play.

Everyone in the SEC runs the exact same offensive personnel, there is no misdirection. It’s just hoping to be cute enough on a few plays


This just isn't true. Watch georgia. They use misdirection.
