They've had more than adequate pass rush protection in the 7 games leading up to Auburn, and it still hasn't happened. The O-line got manhandled by Auburn, but that's hardly the source of the problem.
Newton's better that all those guys. You are in dreamland. The fallacy is that we have superior offensive talent. We have receivers that can't catch. We have QBs that can't throw and we have lineman that can't pass protect. We also have coaches that can't coach. Where's all this massive talent?? Being able to run fast and being big doesn't mean you are a good football player. I watched Sean Payton transform Devery Henderson into a receiver that catches the ball. Why can't LSUs coaches do the same thing?? We do have pretty good RBs, but no game breakers. Auburn's RBs were just as good as ours, if not better. And the difference at QB was so glaring it's not even funny.
The worst play is the one where all the players look confused and look towards the sidelines. They call that one way too much in critical situations.
