Positives:
*Good to see some "Explosive Plays".
*Chark locked up the PR spot.
*Young DBs were solid.
Negatives:
*The verdict is still out on the intermediate passing game.
*TE has been non-existent thus far.
*D-Line looked lethargic in the 1st half.
O-Line looked sloppy with run blocking this week.

Very sloppy play, which is usually what happens when installing a new offense. However, there should have been improvement in that area from game 1 to game 2, and there wasn't, we actually regressed. Us regressing in the penalties is a direct reflection of our head coach. When you have a position coach as your head coach, these things happen.
Also, did anyone else notice how many times they basically said coach O was essentially a position coach, last night? They mentioned it a few times.
You are so full of shite.

So, y'all blame every other coach for sloppy play and penalties but not O? And I'm the one full of shite? Yea, ok.
I'm just being fair and honest.

Some of our fans have extremely unreal expectations.
I saw one really bad pass, the one he overthrew across the middle. The passes into coverage worked exactly how they were supposed to work, playmakers making plays.

Well, we hear calls for balance all the time (for years). For me balance is, and always has been, in production not run/pass play call ratios (which most use just out of habit).
We had 222 yds on the ground, 232 yds in the air. We were balanced.
Why use production instead of run/pass ratio? This game is a prime example. If you are explosive in the air (as we were) you are taking advantage of a D focused on the run, expressed in yards. One complements the other. If you're gaining in one area, D will try to stop it, then attack the other... again, expressed in production.

quote:agreed and upvoted. Would add got other WRs involved as a positive and expand the negative on penalties/sloppiness to say we had both stupid penalties and procedural penalties; procedural penalties should be reduced soon, if not it is indeed a coaching failure. The D offsides and stuff I can live with as long as not in critical situations or giving away first downs. Keep the twitch and the pressure (Tiano has one helluva hard count).

If LSU doesn't step up it's game on all levels we are facing a loss to Mississippi State. The Bulldogs seem to have a pretty good D, a much better kicking game, and to this point, a better offense. Not to mention, they play largely mistake-free compared with us.
They've played 2 cupcakes like us and given up almost 2x the points. Good D is a strong claim.
Much better kicking game? Them: 2/4 with a long of 40. Us: 3/6 with a long of 45. Neither team has been impressive here. "Much better" is excessive.
We have more yards of total offense. I know that's only one stat, but we don't really know who has a better offense yet.
Now your mistake-free argument is best. They're far from it though, averaging 5 penalties a game. However, they and the majority of CFB are averaging less than LSU, so I'll give you that one.

I watched Mayfield do it all night. Most college QB's live off of WR's outplaying the DB's.

Yes, he's responsible.
However your post wasn't related to O and the penalties.
It's pretty amazing how many fans would rather lose than be wrong.

Do you think one of our coaches tracks this, relays to Canada and Canada calls plays to balance these numbers out? Surely not. There has to be some coincidence in there, right?

Throw to Chark on the sideline was perfect.

Ummm...they've played two relatively shitty teams....kinda like we have. Don't anoint them worldbeaters just yet.

There it is. The old, is not going to work against good teams.
Maybe when your receiver is that much taller and better than their db's it's smart to put the ball up and let your guy make the play. Who's to say we try that against the better teams.

No coach would agree with you and say they want their QB throwing into triple coverage so their player can make plays. No chance.

Which is precisely what we've been asking for. It's insane now that it's happening, some find fault.
This is college football, all QB's who throw downfield have to have WR's be the playmaker.

'balance' is overrated in my book, production is king. When you aren't taking advantage of D weaknesses you see un-balance AND poor production. You can have un-balance and good production (which is fine by me).
I think you're right, it's a coincidence. I was just pointing it out to the people who call for "more passes", now and in the past. Run/pass ratio is even more insane in my opinion.
ETA: oh, and Aranda attacks strengths. That's a recipe for success when Aranda is taking away what they do best and Canada is taking their D's ability to do the same to us away. <- that's when it comes down to the Jimmie's and the Joe's. And we have hosses.

I saw double coverage for a completion. I must have missed three defenders draped on a WR.
