re: What is wrong with LSU's running game?

This.

vadal and turner had one or two good games and everyone creamed over them, then they hit a wall late.

the juco OT/OG will probably take the RT spot from vadal imo

This year LSU dominated Bama's run game and had the game in hand before Bama rallied using exclusively the forward pass. Were you accidentally watching games from the 1970's?

That's not true. Bama's RBs averaged 7.5 and 6.9 per carry against us with a TD each.

If anything, Lord Saban passed a little too much at times. That last drive is where they had all of their magical success passing.

I was talking about the "Warecat," but I am loathe to use that stupid word.

Is it offensive scheme?

I think this is a major part. The overall offense scheme is too simplistic that can be countered easily by a defense stacking 8 or 9 or 10 in the box. We don't pass enough to keep the defense honest, and when we do pass it's a 5 -7 yard slant or out route.

It's not risky at all to stack the box against LSU. It's worth giving up the few passes over 10 yards since LSU rarely attempts passes over 10 yards.

Offensive coaches must find a way to make the defense pay for stacking the box. Quick slant or out routes don't do it. We need a deep threat to keep defenses from stacking the box.

no passing game
