Deep passing. I see a lot of posts about this

Yes at first glance you think we should have went deep. The fact is that they played mostly two deep safeties that why you took the underneath passes. If we wanted to go deep we have to run better in the first half. With them playing that far off the ball we should have had 75-100 yards rushing in just the first half. Our guys on the OL are great at pass protection but don’t seem the have the mean run blocking attitude. Just my opinion

We don't keep the numbers inside that would translate to a dominant run game even against deep safeties

Exactly, if you can’t force extra men into the box you can’t get the deep matchups you need unless you want to just throw it into double coverage all night and risk a bunch of picks.

To me it seemed like USC’s DC knew we wanted to run the ball. He stacked the box and forced us to make Nuss beat them. Instead of throwing all over them we decided to play right into there hand and run straight at there stacked box. This is why we lost. Instead of taking what they were giving us we decided to be fricking hard headed.

Or punish then at the intermediate depth, like we were doing with Lacey. If you get enough 15 yard gains, they will drop that second safety in the hook zones eventually.

It's really just Nuss haters looking for something to attack him. Had he thrown deep even if caught they'd be screeching about dangerous throws and turnover risk.

You watched Carter’s film breakdown too?

USC played a defense that was willing to give us the underneath throws and defend over the top throws between the 20s. In the redzone their objective was to limit us to field goals. It mostly worked for them. Our 3rd and 2nd to last drives LSU did not take what USC was giving the LSU offense because Sloan was dead set on running the ball. Should have kept playing like we were behind on those two drives instead of ball controlling it with running plays.

Play action. Flag routes to the slot and slants to the outside receiver. Ever now and then send a TE straight down the seem with a deep crossing route under it. Pretty simple.

Exactly, and being unable to run against that 2 high safety look is a huge disappointment
