I also would've taken Alexander out, as well as he's been playing up to this game, he had an off game. Put Williford in.

Alexander can not pass block. As bad as some of our other olineman are at pass blocking, none come close to being as bad as him. People wonder why Miles runs such a retarded offense, look no further than who he has at QB and pass blocking. What choice does he have but to run a retarded offense. Can't run normal pass plays when you can't block or pass.

I just saw the formations below the staff definately called these plays.
Mind boggling?

I knew I was right about that retarded I formation shite.

Why do we do this crap? Not exactly in this situation per se (I get we were trying to sell that it was a run), but we almost never send more than 2 guys wide. Do it. 3 or 4 wide. Or 3 wide with a guy running out of the backfield.. We'd do a lot better on passing downs that way.

I just rewatched it. WR was still wide open and that's a throw any Div 1 QB should make 9/10 times. That's an easy completion. That turned a good play call bad.

I disagree, given that there's a defender in the path of the throw trying to bat it down. But even if it were true I'd have to wonder why a program with as much recruiting power as LSU is playing a quarterback who isn't even fit to play DIV 1 ball, much less at a perennial top 10 program? How bad are our recruiters if they can't find a QB who can make such an apparently trivial throw?

Williford's not a tackle, and may have been worse actually. doubt he has the feet to play outside.

not saying we shouldn't have gone to a backup though. Porter was listed as Vadal's backup on the depth chart, so I'm assuming at some point he got practice reps there.

Okay brah whatever

Play call was fine. Watch Malzahn and Morris offenses.... They would have called it too, no matter who QB was. Gotta execute the easy plays at your position.

Mett was pressured all night so to pass on 2nd and 3rd w*s nothing else but sztupid

I agree. The first down call was aggressive and out of character for Miles. After you get 8 on that play, I feel the rushing attack should have been able to pick up 2 yards on 2 plays. I am not sure why we chose to throw again on 2nd down. It didn't make sense. Bowl games are stupid though. I have less and less interest every year and I am sure the teams feel the same. Bring on an expanded playoff.

2:43 on the clock at the LSU 39 Clemson has seven in the box we pass and it works, we get to bleed the clock, it was a good call but not the one I would have made...

At this point, I would have counted my blessings and felt very fortunate it wasn't an incomplete pass to stop the clock or worse yet an interception. With 2 yards to go to seal the game and 2 downs to get it, the obvious solution was to run with Hill twice.

Miles, once again, out-thinks himself and assumes the defense will see it coming and instead risks another incompletion twice in a row besides forcing Clemson to use their TOs.

It was not worth the risk. Even if Hill was stuffed two plays in a row, Clemson would have had to burn 2 TOs, and there would have been less time on the clock than what they had.
