Never said to abandon the run, just stop doing it on 2nd down when you’ve shown your pattern. That isn’t hard.

Or on 2nd down when a 1st down pass was incomplete. We’ve become extremely predictable all season in those situations.

This is what was killing me to watch lol. Even as a lowly little fan who might have been amped up on mind altering substances you could notice the pattern by the second quarter. Might as well have given Nuss three chances to get a first down instead of two.

Okay, so run on first and get nothing. Now you’re in 2nd and long and behind the sticks.


It doesn’t matter if you run in first or 2nd down. You have to be able to get at least 3 ypc or you’re screwed.

"Establishing the ru " is quite possibly the dumbest offensive philosophy I've ever heard of.

On no planet do you NEED to establish the run as long as you score points.

Be good at scoring points and let the rest take care of itself. At no point during 2019 did anyone complain about "Establishing the run" because they scored points and won games.


Win the game, score points. Stop smashing your head into a brick wall.

LSU had over 2,000 rushing yards in 2019.

That is where BK is scarily similar to Les. Stubborn to the demise of the team.

Irrelevant to a deliberate game plan to "establish the run". Actually that production even emphasizes by point further.

Take the opportunities and stop trying to "establish" anything. Be capable but stop trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Could not understand why we kept trying when it was obvious aTm knew it was coming and shut it down most every time. Ever thought about an edge run or screen pass coach?

Total team loss, offense, defense and ST.

Haven’t seen one this bad in quite a while.

We got unexpectedly owned in Kyle Field and I hope the coaches players recognize that. I thought it would be close, but not an arse whipping.

If we’re indeed this inept it’s going to be a long season.

Still pulling for our Tigers and hope they get things turned around.

It’s nice having an experienced Oline, but I’m kind of ready for some new blood up front. Chester will get better with age, but it’s time to move on from Frazier at guard. He’s just not as talented as the guys we have coming up behind him. He was a great gap filler find in the portal, but talented guys like Weston Davis, Tyree Adams, Echols, and Khayree Lee are legit beasts. They will need some time to gel, but it’s past time to get more physical on the Oline. These guys aren’t cutting it.

and they crapped the bed last night doing that. If Nuss doessn't get rid of the ball like most qb's, he is sacked 10 times. Sadly he made some very bad decisions under duress.

I think that the interior of the O line is especially overrated. Chester could yet turn out very good, it's his first year but the other 2 are 4th year starters. Bottom line is we shouldn't be running right behind them, it hasn't worked all year

aTm isn’t even in the top ten in the SEC in rush defense.

This is a scheme/tendencies issue.

Has Sloan called a RB screen all season?
