That game and the rest of the SEC West showing in the bowls just made me feel even worse about our offense. The Bama and Ole Miss bowls in particular. Ohio State almost scored at will with a 3rd string QB. TCU scored at will with a guy that was moved to WR last season he sucked so badly!


Exactly what I was thinking after watching those teams bing dismantled. It verifies the fact that we are clueless with our offenive stratedgy. We have superlative athletes but no viable offensive game plan.

Losing accelerates change and breeds creativity. Miles knows 8-5 is unacceptable, his hand has been forced to make changes.

Miles has evolved more than he gets credit for, the next 2 years might be special

Next time just title the thread "whiny little girls" check in here.

Your lives must be miserable.

You come in every positive thread and look for bad things.

You down vote every positive thread like it somehow takes away from it, when in reality, it just lets the rest of us know you crybabies are awake.

It's really pathetic grown men here do this.
Not much more to say than that.

Looking at that annual rundown some things stand out.

1)Early on, it seems LSU took a bit of a "one is enough" approach. Basically, RP leaving was catastrophic in part because we signed ZERO QBs the following year and only 1 each of the next two years. Hell, that created a situation where even if RP doesn't leave, he HAD to work out. No career ending injuries. No bust. NOTHING. You can't recruit as if you are never going to "miss" on a recruit.

2)Of course, it appears that after that error, LSU adjusted and started bringing in more QBs to account for the possibility of losing one or missing. But, then you get to a talent eval thing. Honestly, Shepard NEVER looked even CLOSE to being a D1 QB once on campus. Yeah, I know he was highly rated but that's what we pay coaches the big bucks for. To be able to weed through ratings. Basically, 2009 we didn't REALLY sign any QBs of value.

3)So, after all of that, in 2010, they AGAIN sign ONE guy that they KNOW is a possible to go baseball? ONE frickING GUY?

4)Finally, OK, you run off Rettig because you've decided you want dual threat. Well frick LSU. You've already learned that finding decent QBs is not the easiest thing in the world. Now, we're back to talent eval thing. Coaches simply MUST be able to ascertain that a guy like AJ, dual threat or no, looks a bit shaky. So hey, how's about keeping the other guy with experience and adjusting your offense if necessary so you at least have depth instead of basically showing the kid the door?

Bottom line is that this shite really is of their own making. Yes. Losing Keil was a blow. THAT is why you gotta keep your guys on campus. Take a look at Bama this year. They brought in Coker because they THOUGHT that was going to be the guy. I live in Bama. Everyone here thought that there was no way Bama goes with Sims. Well, Coker isn't "dual threat". Looks like Bama adjusted.

And now, we're recruiting ANOTHER "major project" for this coming fall. This means that it won't just be nice if AJ, BH or both develop. They absolutely MUST develop! No REAL help is on the way until a freshman walks on to the campus in 2016!!!

That graduated hs in 2011.

I still think Meyer and saban are the best there is. But they will never be on the sidelines for LSU in the future. Two of the teams in the playoffs were lucky to be there. Sometimes that's all it takes.

If the big 12 just crowned TCU the champions tOSU may not have made it. But in the end they deserved to be there.

Now obviously if we see no progress next year, then I will worry. Lee progressed, Jefferson progressed and Mett progressed from their first years at LSU. I don't see why Harris can't.

My impression of Miles is worse after the Notre Dame loss, the loss by Alabama shows me that we would lose to a big ten team as well.

No, it reinforces the fact that quality coaching can beat Saban.

Dear idiot...

LSU had the "average" team. Saban's was rightfully somewhere in the top 5-7 range.

Saban was the coach that needed about 8-10 shitty calls to "win" the game, not Miles.

Very legit point. Reflect to the LSU 07 title. We were very fricking lucky to be in that game.

I read this as a average team for "Alabama" not their best they have fielded in the Saban era

I would have to agree this was not Bama's best team and these are the years we need to steal a game from Bama

No, but it confirms that Bama isn't as great as everyone makes them out to be.

It is Not the passing offense...it is the entire LSU Offense.
While watching Bowl Games, I keep thinking LSU could not
be competitive in most of these games , Why because they can't score
with the rest of these teams.

Kept thinking we could and would get shut out in a SEC Game
this season. LSU matches up well with Bama and the rest of the SEC
in every area other than ability to Score.

Alabama in the playoff aside, the rest of the SECW, being a top-tier semi-professional league, is somewhere between blasé and totally disinterested in bowl games as anything other than opportunities to make a little money by showing up, while avoiding career-threatening injuries. Players at LSU, OleMiss and MSU in particular couldn't have cared less about winning.
