Is it play calling?

Is it execution?

Kick field goals to just get points and go from there. It’s still semi productive.

According to a lot of the geniuses here we should run the toss dive

Time is a flat circle

Get better interior O lineman and maybe a better QB if one is available

Throw to #7 or #14. It is not rocket science. I just don't get it man.

Kicking and getting points would’ve changed decisions later on like the going for it on your own 25.

Field shrinks, we can’t move the ball. OL has to get better for this offense to get to the next level

Both. O-line is horrendous at run blocking and that’s amplified in the red zone.

Did you see our formation on the scoring run?

Throw the jump ball to our 7ft tall te. I’d start there.

You either run the ball or scheme up open players.

What you can’t do is ask your QB to sit back and pick the defense apart

We should run it into 9 man boxes like we did yesterday over and over.
That might help.

It's sarcasm folks.

Accept who you are.

LSU's OL is not good enough to run in the RZ out of spread formations. Bring in extra TEs and go power. Who cares if the opponent may know what is coming. It's the only chance you have to establish a running game. Continuing to ask your OL to do something they haven't done all season is foolish.

Make passes simple as possible for Leavitt. Accept that he is not a quick and decisive decision maker. So force him to be one. There no hopping around waiting for something to come open with 10+ players all running around in a condensed area. Decide where you are going pre-snap and throw it. OR, make it simple. Get your 6'7 TE isolated and let him go get the "rebound". I don't care if there MIGHT be something open on the other side. I don't care that the CB, opposing DC, the fans in the stands, the hot dog vendors, the boy scouts helping people to their seats ALL know what is coming. Throw it high and say "go get it"

Kick FGs on first down and not give Sam a chance to throw a INT

The red zone issues won’t be fixed until the interior of the offensive line is fixed. The inability to push/hold the line of scrimmage breaks everything in the red zone. I’m pretty sure this is top of mind when Kiffin talks about evaluating the roster in year one and being better in year two.

Its personnel. We have a lot of really good players but no real elite dominant players that carry a team through a tight situation. We dont have the killer capability to put good teams away.

I watched the night slate of games when I got home. UGA made OM with Chambliss look like a middle school team. Karr for ND willed his team to score when they needed it.

Tenn took all of Will Stein’s rabbits feet and bbq’d them.

And when you want to face the facts about our game Bama players rose up to take control in the 4th and nobody on our side answered the call.

OL sucks, same 1 and 2 down plays that produce nada and then a Hail Mary. It’s play calling/scheme and a weak arse OL

Passing is hard when the playable field is small. Inability to run really stinks things up
