re: What I think the biggest problem with LSU schematically is?

They live on a system where they pound the rock effectively and the QB can get to a 3 read progression during the drive in their passing game.

I dont think I have seen Nuss really go through a Read Progression this year. It seems like almost every single play he is staring down his target and tosses it to him. Scouts are going to notice. Dude has lost so much money this year.

The lack of cohesive direction and the glaring talent gaps at OL all speak to a rudderless staff that is in crisis management and never had a overall plan. It doesn’t have to be a complicated mission statement, it could be very simple as in:

#1. LSU will dominate the LOS.
#2. LSU will be a physical team on every play. Teams will hate to play us.
#3. The game plan will exploit the skill of the players rather than hold them back.

Clearly the team doesn’t have that foundation. If the staff, starting with BK doesn’t set that expectation, it won’t ever just happen on its own.

Also - How could this staff spend so much money on WRs who cannot catch and get in hot head fights at the goal line and not go get 3-4 OL? Its the biggest weakness on the team by far and its inconceivable that the offensive brain trust thought they could get through the SEC with this caliber of starters on the OL.

I think the unit playing the best right now is the DL

We can thank Kyle Williams for that, one of CBK's best hires

The crazy thing about tigerdroppings is you've got a national championship winning NFL player here telling you what's going wrong and there are STILL people responding "oh yeah well what do you know?!"

Thanks for posting, Breiden

Sloan needs to be gone, yesterday. He’s got no business calling any plays in D1 football. He doesn’t have what it takes.

Look at the tape. Green crosses a lot and Nuss keeps trying the hard pass from the near hash to the far sideline, Even if he completes it there is an instant tackle.

All of this! But especially with #1, it’s an offense you run when you’re physically overmatched and need to “confuse” the defense. That is not a problem LSU currently has, or will ever have in every game save Bama/GA. Couple a b$&chmade scheme with a bad play caller and we got what we see. You can overcome one or the other and win games like this. With both you’re lucky your talent will carry you to 8 wins. And it will get worse every year until they shytcan the HC or make him change his scheme and offensive coaches. If you’re gonna keep CBK can his offensive coaches and his playbook.

The Rant doesn’t like it but “Sunbelt Billy” would be a good OC if he doesn’t get another HC job. That’ll get a downvote or two??.

Les Miles recruited guards and made some of them tackles.

Coach O took a traditional approach.

Coach K recruits only tackles, and no true guards. The trade off is the inability to lower their center of gravity and generate a push on rushing downs.

The recruitment of Moore is a departure of that, so the line has improved, but still lacks true guards. This is why the running game has suffered.
