I honestly felt we were moving the ball great at one point. One bad throw by mett and that was it! Miles they're loading the box against the run, so why not use the run to set up the play action. Multiple balls dropped by WR's! Hats off to the defense they played their hearts out especially Minter. Future NFL LB right there. Or we can wait till Seals-Jones, Desean Smith, Quantavious Leslie and Hayden Rettig or Anthony Jennings finally gives a top 25 passing game plus the chances of us getting Jacory Washington and Trey Quin are looking great so there will be improvement but this needs to change now
Again, how can expect ANY RB to get in a rhythm and emerge when we distribute the work load between too many RB's and with absolutely no consistency. What we may have thought was our biggest strength, has turned into a cluster fuck. Carries yesterday: Ware - 8 Hilliard - 5 Ford - 4 Hill - 2 Who is our #1 back? Who is our 3rd down back? Who is our goal line back? Who is our passing down back? Hint: There should only truly be 2. One Main back and his need a breather back. Are any of them designated to anything with any consistency? Anybody who has played the sport and most who follow intelligently, know the importance of chemistry on offense. Not saying the injuries are not crucial, but it looks like LSU is using live games, to answer questions and work out controversies that should be taken care of in practice. Pick your poison, but don't sample all poisons. That's why you have a week of practice
We looked good on the first drive of the game. I think on the subsequent possessions, game circumstance of being backed up near our endzone is what did us in, as it led to I believe 3 consecutive 3 and outs. Seemed like we were running on passing downs, and vice versa. We never found any rhythm at all on O after the first drive, and the inability score a TD on 1st and goal from the 8 sealed the deal.
Hilliard needs to be our starter , Hill needs to be our 3rd down back as you saw the long screen, Ware never gives up and drives his legs he is our goal-line back, Ford/Magee needs to be our passing down backs. I totally agree though Hilliard was on pace for a great season and miles now wants to cut down his carries wth!
Magee got moved to WR i believe, but sheesh give the guy a chance the runs he had lst year were incredible breaking 2 tackles and dragging a defender 7 yards! Nic Jacobs is emerging as a great target and I feel copeland can be used more in the flats game and redzone
