Awful lot of words. To sum it up, of course no one wants to play when you are getting your brains beat in and the coach keeps calling the same stuff.
So are you making an excuse for the replacements???? Any other schools have to deal with early draft entries and graduation? I just looked at a depth chart that shows 80% of the offensive line is Jr/Sr. 16 players are Jr's or Sr's. So when someone leaves early those left behind forget how to BLOCK and TACKLE???
That's how they roll. You say Les can't call a time out and they counter with "oh yeah, well how about obj"
Are you this stupid everyday??? My 80% ref was to the offensive line. The depth chart I saw showed 16 Jr and Sr 's that "start". http://www.lsufootball.net/depthchartlsu.htm
Unfortunately, I'm afraid we are the non-elite of the conference this season. 0-8 seems like a real possibility.
This team is, unfortunately, looking like teams of Archer's, Hallman's, and Dinardo's that got them fired. Our 2002 team also looked like shit (and lost to AU and Bama both 31-0), especially after Mauck went down late in the Florida game. We rebounded, fortunately. Our 2008 team looked really bad, too, essentially giving up down the stretch before bouncing back to kill Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Right now, I would say that the results of the Florida game will determine whether or not we can win 3 or 4 SEC games or whether the wheels have come completely off and we don't win any or maybe 1 SEC game. Our youth shouldn't look this bad. There has been an uneasiness surrounding our program since the 2011 NCG. I believe that had we won the Alabama game in '12 that we may have regained some of our swag, but that game seemed to kill us in many aspects. We really haven't been the same since. This sort of thing has happened to many programs: Florida State under Bowden, Penn State under Paterno, Tennessee under Fulmer, and (more recently) Texas under Brown. This season is a bitter pill to swallow, and if the ship isn't righted very quickly, Miles will lose his job. And that would be the only thing that could happen. He needs to make some changes. We have absolutely nothing to lose, and if he isn't willing to play balls-out anymore, we're dead in the water. There, I said it. This may very well be the beginning of the end. This is the worst ass-whipping we've seen in the Miles era--absolute and complete domination from start to finish. With that being said, I still don't believe that should diminish how good and fun the Miles era has been. But eras of dominance do end, the always do, and humble pie doesn't taste good.
