re: It all goes back to poor OL play and no run game

isn’t coached well

This is what I don't get about the design. It's like they can't even check into an easy run against a 5 man box.

I absolutely hate the scheme. There is no misdirection. Sloan doesn't set anything up. The o line can't block. Nuss sucks against any kind of pressure

It really does hurt having a qb that can't escape or step up any.

I’ll be honest, it’s a Christmas miracle we are even entertaining being a contender this year. Had Austin Thomas not saved the fricking program with the portal and fundraising this team would seriously be 4-8 this season.

I genuinely wonder what the actual frick brian Kelly does. He came into the season peacocking about this offense

On its face this offense is throw heavy based on the formations we use. Most of your modern spreads have taken after the Meyer model where you’re turning older offenses into SG so most of those traditional principals and schemes remain. Kelly’s style is more of the first gen spread on the conservative side. A lot like Clemson’s for example which doesn’t lend itself to a lot of versatility. It’s an old, stock spread offense, it’s easy to defend.

It’s a shame what we’ve looked like the last 2 years. Kelly needs to hire someone he can trust and let him do his thing. We need to get away from Kelly’s offense.

It’s true. Even my level headed ole miss friends felt Lane Kiffin would have beaten ole miss bf 14-17 points with our personnel.

DCs have learned how to defend most spread offenses. The last couple years they’ve made a big jump in defending even the best ones. Ours is ancient relative to most so they’ve got us dead to rights outside of our talent advantages.

Or it may be that our QB sucks.

La Tech has a better o line than LSU……it’s pathetic that we can’t get good linemen…..who is evaluating the o line talent…..they need to be fired….

Here's the thing about Nuss's performance. We fans don't know if Nuss is truly hurt or to what extent. However, the staff and Nuss do! Therefore if he struggles passing the ball, the play calling HAS to be more balanced with running the ball. Also, Nuss knows what passes he can make and the ones he can't. Its on him to own up to what he's struggling with so the staff can adjust.

All that is before discussing Van Buren and what role he can play.

Agree, Davis has to go, should’ve happened already.

All things become apparent in time. Some of you on here are finally starting to realize what I've been screaming about for years in regards to Sylvester Davis. He's in over his head at LSU and needs to go asap. (The Orgeron Buffoon was the one that hired him) but BK9.9 continues the insanity.
