re: Loss 100% on players. Not Miles. Not coaches. Not plays. Not fraud clock guy.

If you guys will allow me a couple unsolicited comments from afar:

1. LSU has a lot of talent, but your quarterbacks are pedestrian. Good teams will cheat up against you. If the quarterback could have passed a little better, you would have beat Wisconsin. They dared you to pass.

2. As a team, LSU lacks discipline. Lots of procedure/offside penalties...to say nothing of the repeated loss of emotional control that results in personal fouls.

3. Leonard Fournette is a force.

4. It may be hard to admit, but you lost to two pretty good teams...by small margins. (I was at the Wisconsin game, and you guys were beat much worse than the score indicated.)

5. Good coaches are hard to find. There are no guarantees. Miles may not be the best, but he is better than most.

6. At Lambeau, the LSU folks were good tailgaters and gracious throughout.


Good luck the rest of the season. There is still plenty of time for some good wins.

Stop trying to make us feel better with false hope...

Sidebar: You clearly never played sports and especially didn't coach. When you lose a game like that, you look at the other 100 plays throughout the game, not just the one with 1 second left on the clock.

Uh, the point of the thread is looking at the plays in the final drive, not just the one with 1 second left on the clock.

Later in the drive, we were scrambling around, and everyone is going to post about that sequence. But earlier in the drive killed us. Here we go...

(2:56) 1-10 LSU25: Dropped pass
(2:50) 2-10 LSU25: 12 yard scramble, not OOB [clock stopped at 2:42 to move chains]
(2:25 -17secs later-) 1-10 LSU37: incomplete
(2:18) 2-10 LSU37: complete to Dural, turns inside instead of OOB [clock stopped at 2:11 to move chains]
(1:56 -15secs later-) 1-10 AU47: 2 yard completion to LF7 [tackled at 1:49]

TIMEOUT at 1:43 -6secs later-

(1:43) 2-8 AU45: Incomplete to LF7, he's injured
(1:38) 3-8 AU45: Etling scrambles for 1st down, gets OOB
(1:30) 1-10 AU27: Complete to Dural, sketchy whether he should've gotten OOB call [play ends at 1:23, ref runs in at 1:20 winding arm, 1:13 showing LF7 WALKING onto the field]
(1:03 -20secs later-) 2-1 AU18: incomplete, no interference ruled uncatchable (disagree)

So, BEFORE the final minute of the game we burned 58 seconds between plays with the clock running. You don't expect them to snap the ball the instant the clock starts after a first down, but jeez. we should have easily had :40 more in game clock to work with, even without changing timeout usage or anything else.

Bottom line is if the players had a sense of hurry in the hurry-up offense, they throw the final TD with plenty of seconds left on the clock.

And whose job is it to instill that 'sense'. And where is the fear of their position being in jeopardy if they don't display that 'sense'

And why have all those that have left LSU, sensing that there is no 'urgency' being taught being told "U Smart"?
