Slow starts ? Red zone executions? Poor game management ? What do you think have been our common downfalls in ranked games this year ?

Red zone execution in Kentucky and Bama.

Leavitt's inability to progress reads in ole Miss and bama.

Zone defense in critical times.

Turnovers
Poor game management
Interior offensive line play
Chunk plays allowed on defense

That's probably the top 4. You could probably rank them in different orders depending on the game

Hands down, OL play in all 3. Especially in red zone. Can not run when they know u are going to run.

Honestly, coaching.

That's the most worrisome part of this season. The 3 losses could easily be put on coaching.

Our 4th down play calling. Seizing momentum. Think about the 4th down calls we’ve run against Aggy and Auburn. Where was that same confidence vs Kentucky and alabama?

Red zone futility has been a common thread in all 3 losses and my thought was that with Green back that would not be an issue anymore, I was wrong.

I feel like I’m watching Ole Miss.

Like watching a tier 2 program try to compete at tier one. Which usually has to do so via gimmick and tricks and taking extra risks.

Poor QB play, particularly in the red zone.

This is a good point and one of the strangest statistics I’ve noticed. Turnovers are most commonly the result of two things: making the other offense one-dimensional and getting pressure on the QB. LSU has done both of those very well this season yet has little to show for it as far as turnovers. Strange!

Lack of running game, red zone inefficiency, and Baker going soft when we grab the momentum.
