Number one issue to correct in the offseason should be pretty clear.

Burrow in the RZ - 13/42, 31%, 91 yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs, 74.15 passer rating

Burrow everywhere else - 206/337, 61%, 2803 yards, 11 TDs, 2 INTs, 140.58 passer rating

LSU finished with the lowest passer rating in the country in the red zone. Whatever we're doing here, we need to blow it up.

A lot of that had to do with having Cole Tracy. Burrow and LSU knew if they got within range, they could play conservatively and ensure the points. They were not having to try and force anything.

Depth at OL will help this next year

Why would the depth at OL be so detrimental in the red zone but not nearly as much elsewhere?

But they did force things. He threw 3 red zone INTs on 42 attempts, but 3 INTs everywhere else on 337 attempts.

Having Cole Tracy doesn't explain why the red zone passing was so abysmal.

Do other teams with elite kickers have these issues? This just feels like such a copout response. Inside the 20 is close enough that you should be aggressively trying to get the TD.

Being able to run the ball effectively is key to a good redzone offense. It is tougher to throw the ball in the red zone.

LSU's overall red zone offense was......lacking.

31 touchdowns in 60 trips. 51.67%. 119th in the country and 12th in the SEC.

This number needs to be around 65%.

It feels pretty obvious this isn't about Burrow but the offensive philosophy in the red zone.

I thinknhea Pointing out hat Burrow is a much better QB than his Redzone numbers indicate and that our redzone play calling doesn’t help him.
