WRONG

Didn't play at all in the 4th against GSU and NWSU our games this year. Played one snap in the 4th vs. Vandy (ended a drive).

Whatever man, I know what I saw. My point is that other teams starters haven’t played near as long as ours

Clearly you don't. Because outside of Texas, our starters have played 1 snap in the 4th.

Sure but some teams haven't played a top 25 opponent. I would expect a team that played Texas to have its starters in longer than a team that hasn't played a team with a winning record.

And Texas isn't padding out stats. Its our lowest scoring game.

Our biggest weakness has been giving up the big play. IF LSU can eliminate these mistakes or limit them the Defense will make a big jump fast.



This is fact........... We have NOT played that bad on defense.. Injuries sure aren't helping... I am glad the offense is setting record numbers BUT FLA will be a challenge............

It will be an interesting matchup

They will be the best Defense we've seen and we will be by far the best offense they have seen (besides i guess Aburn who we are better than)

Another interesting aspect is that Grantham loves to blitz and we are very good attacking the space that blitzes leave.

I think we shred them.

Ever heard of the Draw play????? We could kill FLA with that on blitzs and screen plays but now that fournette is gone we need another back to step up.... If we have Heliare in every play you can't fool them..............

I think you can run a screen and a draw with Helaire (you can run a draw with Joe)

We also throw well against the blitz alread. Should be interesting seeing what we do.

I guess what I am trying t say is that it is VITAL to get another back involved more [esp since Fournette is gone].... This week will be a great time to se what other backs can do..... I know everyone is saying [SCREW] the running game because the passing has ben so good but I am telling you we need to run the ball better to beat FLA.AU, and Bama..... Some are blinded by how great the passing game is......

I agree.

But last game they switched the blocking scheme and it yielded favorable results. I know it is only Vandy, but we looked better vs Vandy than we did vs Northwestern State or Georgia Southern.

I am hoping to see the run game develop with the new blocking scheme, Ed Ingram getting a role and Emery continuing to emerge.

WE don't need to change the Pass Run Ration, but getting more out of our Run game when we do run is necessary.

As A team you are hoping to improve with every game in all three phases.... I am thinking this team is looking at that this week.... With a bye week though I am hoping we don't come out flat.......

no, it's not. as I explained in this very thread:

LSU has given up 2 rushing plays of greater than 20 yards.

LSU has given up 12 passing plays of greater than 20 yards.

opposing defenses have run a total of 271 plays against LSU.

Lol well there was a total of 38


this is how I know you did not watch the game.

14 points were a direct result of a CEH fumble in the endzone (that if he doesn't fumble LSU goes into halftime up 38-10) and one was a pick 6 from brennan.

God, not only are LSU fans ignorant, but they can't admit when they are wrong either.

I think it is all pretty exciting.

Were already pretty good, and we can still get better. Emery will probably continue to improve as the season goes along, and that would be huge if he is gashing people by the end of the season.

Lol our starters have definitely played more than 1 snap in the 4th. That’s hilarious you came up with that stat. Definitely against Vanderbilt and Texas we had starters in there a good bit

no, the starters were out for most if not all of the 4th quarter against Vandy.

and are you serious about texas? no shite they were in, Texas is a top 15 team and it was a one score game. LSU Vandy on the other hand was like 52-24 entering the 4th quarter.
