Seems like O was happy with 3. Hopefully we play for touchdowns this year with an unproven kicker.

I’ve seen people suggest that. I have a hard time believing that having a good kicker would cause a coach or coaches to play it more conservative. That would be extraordinarily dumb.

LSUs horrible pass blocking made Orgeron settle for 3

Ok.

Officially the worst post ever in the genre of let’s manufacture some kind of obscure dumbass theory to expound upon.

It was such a bitch arse move for O to try that field goal against Bama just to try and save face by not getting shut out again. So pathetic

Not sure about that, but the difference in scoring offense between 2017 and 2018 is almost exclusively due to Tracy.

Easily one of the most embarrassing moments in recent LSU football history.

He did send Cole in for a certain FG against Florida in the 2nd quarter of that game, which I felt was a tactical mistake, and changed the complexion of that game. O didn't even challenge the spot which was 4th-and-inches.

Tracy was AUTOMATIC inside 40 (ironically pretty sure his only miss inside 40 was against Bama. That was the result of the football gods spiting O for kicking a “sad field goal :(“ ).

I think considering the limitations of the offense, and the superiority of the defense, O definitely got very tight butthole inside the red zone.

Which is pretty ironic considering the success this team had on 4th downs. I do remember a couple of goal line 4th down conversions but I also remember A LOT of Tracy field goals from 33, 37, 34, etc.

Looks like OP is onto something IYAM.

33 attempted FGs, second in all of FBS.

in a two week span vs UGA and @Miss St, Tracy went 9/9 on field goals, the longest was 40 yards.

In the Fiesta Bowl Tracy kicked 4 Field Goals.
The longest one? 28 yards.


Good thread OP. Don’t let the haters get to you.

O is the head coach, no one was twisting his arm to settle for a FG.

So if Wade Richey is LSUs kicker last year, we try all of those field goals? Ok.
