Red zone woes...

I remember how great we were in the red zone in 2019. I suppose it was a combination of Burrow and Joe Brady working seamlessly together, but it sure seems like we move the ball with impunity this season until we get inside the red zone and then can't seem to get into the end zone.

Very frustrating.
I guarantee there are open receivers all over the place that Sam isn’t seeing. Maybe he just needs to go back to scrambling every play.

In 2019 most of our TD’s came from outside the red zone. We could use some more explosive plays but this team really struggles with going vertical.

Comparing any team to Burrow and 2019 isn’t fair.

And how much better it was in 2019 vs 2018.

Comparing any team to the greatest offensive team in NCAA history is comical. Doing it with a first-year head coach and eight new starters is something only an LSU fan would do.

Red zone offense exposes the weaknesses of QBs. Decisions have to be faster and precision has to be tighter. Leavitt just does not seem to have it here. This is where the coaches have to make adjustments to match their QBs abilities, and this has not happened.

Bama stuffed our run with their front 4. Their Safeties would immediately drop back at the snap and take anything away over the top. They were letting us march down the field with the plan to stall us out in the redzone. This is the result of not having a strong Oline. If we did have a strong oline, we could get the push needed to force the safeties up and get 3-4 yards a carry in the redzone. The 2 biggest issues are:
1) Oline
2) Leavitt missing wide open reads
On that final 4th and 10, Watkins was standing in the middle of the field, past the 1st down marker, wide open.

They seem to go right down the field using one playbook and then switch to a much shittier playbook once they cross the 20. They immediately run a stupid run play into the teeth of the defense on first down for no gain. It’s bizarre really.

Also can expose the weakness of an offensive scheme. We have this pseudo-B12 offense of 10 years go, or the basis of it. Lots of taking what you can get. It ran into its weakness last yesterday - athletes with closing speed.
