4th down and 6 with about 3 min to go..

4th down and 6 with about 3 min to go..:
Can someone explain it ?
I can see 2 viewpoints---whether I agree or not, but I can not see the execution--- THE ONE WE USED.
I can kicking it away and hope we would stop them.
I can see going for it..if we make it continue to drive and get a score, we may actually win the game....
but why in the hell would we execute choice 2 and not roll-out right (wide side of the field) and try to get the needed 6 - 7 yards...
instead, we went to the short side of the field and seem to look for an outright HOMERUN...stupid.
Had we made 6, we could have also taken time from the clock....

i liked that we went for it. but we shouldn't have completely screwed up. it was completely embarrassing.

i dont think a single receiver knew which route he was supposed to run OUT OF A TIMEOUT which is pretty inexcuseable. unsurprising nonetheless from a crowton coached offense on a miles coached team.

The thing is, with the timeouts you can certainly kick it. With that said, you're going to have to rely on Helton's slick punting to continue because odds are even if it does, Cam is going to break another 15 yard run (maybe more) forcing you to use another time out on the first down.
I honestly think going for it was the good call, especially since the game was being played at Auburn. We just failed to have a good play (surprise, surprise) and execute. JL did what he could but he simply wasn't fast enough and got 0 help from his blockers.

Lee had no idea what was going on before and during that play.

I liked going for it (we weren't going to stop them). The play call (have we ever run that play), preplay "motion" and execution were horrible.

At least Lee was on the field and knew where he was suppose to line up. That's more than I can say about the WRs on that play.

Didn't look like anyone else did either
Complete fail

That's because we had 10 guys on the field

As I said.. I have no problem going for it....
I was just totally baffled by the "TYPE of PLAY"
.. I know that the execution sucked, but the PLAY CALLING was just as bad...
...not to mention that I am not sure if anyone really knew what the play was to be.

I'm not blaming Lee for that mess but he could have attempted a pass instead trying to run for the first down.

I think it was another trick play that failed miserably, there is no other excuse. It seemed designed to convey confusion to the opponent, but then LSU failed to execute as happened numerous times during the game.

The same shite from Miles and Crowton for years and will continue for the forseable future as long as Crowton is hear and also blame on the head coach to permit/defend such shite.

It's another example of how when you watch a Les Miles coached football team offensively they do things that defy logic. Miles needs to go!!!

if that's the case.. we surely outsmarted ourselves...
we definitely did a good job of creating confusion

It was complete confusion. What I think the play was SUPPOSED to be was going to be open, which makes it worse.
I believe Shep was supposed to streak down the field. Tolliver lined up outside of him was supposed to go 6 (okay, it's crowton, he was supposed to go 4) and then cut to the middle of the field underneath Shep. Right side receivers were there to clear out the LBs for Tolliver to get it over the middle and get the first without an issue.
The problem was Tolliver went 4 and STOPPED instead of cutting in. Peterson went 6 and cut to the right. If he had went left, he was open, but I don't think that was his play.
There was too much confusion, especially coming out of a damn timeout. It was easy to see that none of the eligible receivers had a damn clue what the play was. And that speaks volumes about a certain staff.

Russell Shepard wasn't even on the field and the rest of the WRs were lined up wrong. Coming out of a timeout.
Les Miles is so bad he's become Brad Childress.

We are just not a well coached offense.
Posted on 10/24/10 at 11:08 am to tirebiter
When the play was being executed I thought the confusion was "intentional" because how it the world could we do this again - it just boggles the mind that week in week out LSU is in this position.
