re: The O-Line is handcuffing this offense. It’s not the QB or RBs or WRs.

Meanwhile, once again, college QBs all over the country somehow manage to run a competent offense. The QBs for Mich. St. and ASU are battling right now.

Dude, SLU, yes SLU, pushed our O-line around tonight. That’s a problem regardless of the system.

But both QBs are actually making plays. They make simple throws look routine and take their chances when they can. We make 5yd outs look complex. It’s mind boggling.

I agree. Year after year after year, the offense is anemic. QBs come and go and the production doesn’t significantly improve. And every year we bitch about the QB or the OL.

Well maybe the scheme sets up the players for failure. Maybe they don’t execute bc it’s fricking impossible to execute.

We need them back ASAP.

Auburn's DL would kill the unit that showed up tonight.

NOT SURPRISING to me at all, as I've been Ranting about lack of OL talent for a long time.

If yall don't believe me yet, there will be no doubts after the Auburn game.

Gonna be ugly.

Doubt if JB makes it to the 4th quarter...…..

Why LSU doesn't run screens to slow down the opposing defenses' pass rush is beyond me. It's just stupid.
I'm praying it's because we don't want to show Auburn our screen game. O even brought in some of the Saint's staff to specifically work on the screen game. It baffles me we've hardly run any.

I’m not saying there’s a secret playbook, but I expect to see a lot more of this against Auburn.

This may be the worst line LSU has had in quite some time.


Line play would be much better with Charles and Ingram in but I know the "IF" game and it's futile playing it. Also agree...the line that took the field the tonight is the worst since the last year of that big bald headed O'line coach was there under Miles.

how does someone "check out" but still have time to bash the offensive coordinator?

don’t just blame the o line for poor play, burrow was 10 of 20 for 151 yards and the only reason he had that many yards was because of the Hail Mary pass. The only bright spot on the offense was Brosette.

I've said this before, but i will continue to do so. Dan Mullen implemented a quick passing game in Dak's senior year because he lost almost the entire experienced OL he had the previous year. Dak had his most impressive year to date, with WRs, OL, and RBs, that have not and will not do anything in the NFL.

I don't understand why we didn't just hire a spread offensive guy to begin with. You got Ensminger, who hasn't ran his own offense since the 90s, to now "experiment", and come up with a new hybrid pro style/spread attack.

South Florida beat Georgia Tech 49-38 yesterday after they just lost the best QB in USF history. They've lost all the talent that made them great the past two years, yet they still know how to put up points in bunches on power 5 opponents.

That OC (who've I've wanted for years now, and still going), is Sterlin Gilbert. He made Texas good at offense again (true freshman 3300 yard 25 TD QB, 2000 yard rusher in D'onta Foreman) , he made Jimmy Garopollo great, then did the same with Dane Evans at Tulsa.

Our Coaches are too got damn old and set in their ways of how it used to be, that they can't move forward. A Modern college football offense is what we need. We are wasting the few years Aranda will be here.

Boggles my mind we have no quick passes. Slants, quick out routes, screens, etc... none of this.

Burrow held on to the ball too long and missed open receivers on several plays. The scheme, situational play calling,and the QB are to blame as much as the O-line. The Ensminger hire was just as pathetic as the Orgeron hire. This offense has taken a step backwards from last year, and that is sad.
