re: Our offense is incredibly easy to shut down.

Wouldn’t be easy if WRs could catch.

A big factor in the loss. The defense was also dreadful. Milroe on deck.

No, our O is NOT incredibly easy to shut down. In fact, in 4 SEC games our O has NOT been shut down at all. We shut ourselves down 6 times last night...SIX times by making mistakes. THREE FG errors and 3 INT's, that is what "shut our O down" last night.

2 of those 3 FG “errors” as you call them would have been career long FG’s for Ramos. Missing two FG’s out of your range are not “errors”.

Let’s discuss the INT’s. Yes, Nuss pressed and forced 3 passes that he shouldn’t have thrown. However, when you have ZERO running game, it forces the QB to put everything on his shoulders in order for the offense to move the ball.

Instead of Nuss given the luxury of having a balanced offense to work with, and all he needs to do is manage it, our total and complete lack of an effective running game forces our QB to put the entire offense in his back. He feels the pressure and it mounts, forcing him to make throws he would never have to do if he had a running attack to make his life easier.

We depend on FG’s far too often, because our offense struggles in the red zone. In the Red Zone, defenses have far less real estate to cover. Defenses have a huge advantage in the red zone when facing a one dimensional offense like LSU’s.
