BS. If we cannot do a better job with strategic play calling then we've got issues. There's no way in Hell I'd not have thrown on first down after the interception. With 6'4" receiver; no fade to the corner... no TE slipping underneath on 2nd down... If those didn't work then run a draw play. Simple stuff, really. This is the stuff that makes or breaks you. Never leave anything on the table. Kinda like the old Miami, Florida and Florida State teams used to play - especially the way Spurrier would go for a quick 6 immediately after a turnover. Keep 'em off balance. Win with the least effort: 6 beats 3. Put the game away with point differential then blitz and stunt aggressively on defense. Well, that would be MY approach... LSU is very predictable; too predictable on offense.
I agree. I expect the offense to continue to get better, esp with the passing game to help open up the running game. Lee's performance against SEC teams last year in salvaging the wins should have told people something about him.
Sorry. I don't get this. Really. So the team that amassed a grand total of 190 total yards of offense on 59 offensive plays was "better" and the team that totalled 361 on 65 plays "sucked"???
How can anyone come away from this game and not say LSU totally dominated is beyond me. We only needed 7 points. Game over.
I agree, but we may be in the minority on this board of late. Seems like many posters can't give CLM, the staff or JL credit for anything without always qualifying it. ldskule:
Puh-lease... :rolleye33: There's no way in Hell LSU scored all they could. I guess you're an ex-NFL All Pro, right? Riight? Or maybe you're the genious behind New England's rise from mediocrity? I missed that. LSU's ATHLETIC ABILITY alone is worth more than a 13 point differential. How you cannot fathom that I do not comprehend. The run sets up the pass and the pass sets up the run. The key to an "explosive team" (something LSU offenses in the past, say, 10 years have had on occasion) is being able to run in pass sets and pass in run sets. It's not everyday that one will hold an athletic advantage at every position. Ability does what it can; Genious does what it must. The game is won (that night) in the press box/sideline. We'll just have to disagree. I'll take a 3-0 start but we have a tough schedule ahead and Oklahoma looks damned good as does FL State at the moment and we need not mention 'Bama.
I'm happy sheet head are you illiterate? I said the playcalling was bad. JL played lights out and Stud didn't take advantage of it. The D was unbelievable. WR's were very good and RB's ran hard.
