re: LSU Offense: 2nd Half Drive Chart

quote:

Prior to this game, had we run 5 screen plays in a single game? If not, the Swamp isn't a good place to try them out.

I’m dumbfounded people think like this

They worked for the most part. Jefferson got 7 & 10 yards on first down twice. Moreau went for 16 on a TE screen,

We’ve ran more screens to the RB thru 5 games that Miles ran in 12 years. The notion that this is some risky play that can’t be ran in the swamp is dumb

Value? What is a bottom ranked offense going for nowadays? More than 800k?

you realize UF has a worse offense than we do right? But hey Aranda is doing a great job

See this where people go off the rails. Aranda has an established history of real success at three schools, including here. One can look at a game wher we allowed less than 400 yards and our offense had two bad turnovers as pretty meh. I will agree Aranda had a meh game, it is the exception.


This makes 5 of 6 meh games from our offense.

We attempted 5 different screen plays in the 2nd half. Don’t let your narrative get confused with the facts.

Depending on the timing and the execution this is really not instructional as to whether they were effective playcalls. You can't just throw your hands up and say, "You would have loved the plays we had...if we had just had a chance to run them."

Were they called based on checks where we read blitz? Were they to the correct side of the fire call from the Defense? Did our coaches put in the right blocking schemes and coaching the correct technique on how to be successful with how UF has defended those playcalls all year so far?

There's so much context left out of your, "Well we called the plays, what more do you want," narrative that it's easy to tell you are simply looking for blanket generalizations to put the onus on the players.

The issue here is that Grantham & Mullen were superior to their counterparts on the opposite sideline Saturday. The other issue is that-in a vacuum-LSU appears to call plays in a manner that's designed to get kids the football and not so much designed to create a flow or setting up constraints off formation and personnel.

It's there earlier in this thread. Myself and others feel the contrived way we force feed Giles outside of the flow and feel of the game on offense. We just stop, call his number and then do something else. It's there with the strange disconnect between the head coach's effusive praise and media commentary about how Brossette has earned the starting role and is clearly our best back, yet gets pulled mysteriously and has to essentially split carries with a kid who just wasn't getting the job done on this day (not a sleight to CEH. Just a fact).

This is just one man's opinion, but it's one that I see shared on various fronts that I'm just sort've piecing together now that we've seen approximately a half season's worth of performances out of the offense.

He’s related to Ensminger. He’s a fn clown. He was nowhere to be found when speedy or slackster posted how most all stats this year are worse than last years other than PPG and this season is not done with yet so that could drop. NEED TO find and update all those stats and metrics. As well as offensive rankings sec and nationally.

this was a few weeks back but we need these updated SPEEDY OR SLACKSTER!



2018 #s v 2017 #s

5.08 v 6.19 - yards/play
333.7 v 411.1 - yards/game
3.91 v 4.79 - rushing yards/att
153.7 v 207.6 - rushing yards/game
6.8 v 8.8 - passing yards/att
180.0 v 203.5 - passing yards/game
115.5 v 149.8 - passer rating
31.9% v 41.4% - 3rd down conversions

as far as the PPG, taking away the 7 the D scored against miami as that was NOT offense

E is at 30.1 PPG

last year was 27.2

30 or more should always be goal but not when you blew E all last year like the first cut did saying how great E was and is and how bad canada was E should be blowing those numbers out the water with 35 a game. he is not doing that.

E has a better Qb and better receivers than we had last year like G funk stated.

I responded to a statement saying we dish run any screen plays, when we did. That response doesn’t warrant context. Though I agree with your general premise, your rant does not apply to this conversation.

Far from a rant on this end, and if it came off like one I apologize. But the statement you made-like most any discussion regarding a complicated team sport like Football-requires additional details to provide the proper amount of context.

If my inference was incorrect and you weren't looking for a path forward in the discussion that emphasized a lack of execution and focused on the player's being at fault while de-emphasizing what I believe to be a coaching issue, then my apologies.

I personally feel as if we have the Jimmies and Joes on this squad that are capable of beating UF. The weakest place for that argument to try and hold water is along our OL. But that's where X's and O's comes in to try and alleviate the concerns.

I don't believe we maximized our efforts there.
