This is conventional thinking, but when you don’t execute at a slower pace it just doesn’t work. Look at the disparity in TOP in this game and tell me how well the offensive pace worked for us? How would using tempo and maybe sustaining a couple of additional drives and scoring more points have been worse if we weren’t possessing the ball effectively playing slower?

Peetz is slow and out of sync. Hard to run "up tempo" when you're staring at the sidelines for 10 seconds, waiting for the play. No rhyme or reason to this offense and Price offers no threat to the defense. We gotta get the best players on the field, O is playing scared and it looks like shite.

In the second half, LSU scored on 68, 58 and 41 yd TD passes. TOP on those drives was less than 5 minutes. And two of the drives took 3 plays. Score was 27 - 10 at that point, so we needed to slow tempo and keep our defense off the field.

You'll see it again next Sat. You'll also see our fierce pass rush, which I missed this week. I do think Jones had a great game plan however.

Couldn't get it going in the third quarter because the offense scored on two of its first three plays. The Defense was on the filed the entire 3rd. Once we got to the 4th, LSU had to slow it down and pick up first downs to give defense a breather and to burn clock.
And the first two quarters when we scored only 7 points, and that was off of a short field following a turnover?

Again for the guy in the back- DID THE SLOW TEMPO ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL OF KEEPING THE DEFENSE OFF THE FIELD?
If you can put more plays together running at a faster pace instead of going 3 and out, guess what? More clock runs! You probably also score more points and generate a bigger cushion rather than giving up the entire lead. What a revolutionary concept for protecting a defense.
I don’t understand how some of you have just forgotten 2019. When did we take our foot off the gas and run without any tempo? Other than taking a knee or running the clock when the game was over, when did we abandon our identity?
We saw how this offense needs to run vs CMU. That tempo fits this offense and helps to cover some of our deficiencies. The players, especially Max, seem to be more comfortable and decisive without all the changes and shifts at the line. This year’s offense will never look good or be effective without a faster tempo. Period.

Who gives a shite? CMU is better than McNeese and we looked just as out of sync against them as we did today against State. You don’t completely abandon something that finally worked because the opponent has a better defense. You stick with what works, at least to some extent.
So tell me- did the fricking meercat, milk the clock offense produce any flow or momentum today? Do you think that’s how this offense will play its best football? If it wasn’t producing long drives and more TOP, then did it really work better than using any tempo?
It worked very well yesterday.
Compare this game and the 2020 State game
TOP yesterday State had 35:08 2020 Stste had 30:28
Rushing yesterday State 115 yards 2020 State 9 yards
Passing yards State Yesterday 371 2020 623 yards
1st downs State 29 yesterday 2020 State had 24
Points 25 State yesterday and 44 State in 2020
I think our strategy worked.

Another issue is you have to keep drive going and not get behind the chains. Max was 62% completion yesterday and was about 60ish in first two games. Against CMU he was 75% completion rate. Look at how much different the offense looked in those two scenarios. That is the difference in sustaining drives and not...
