THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE AVERAGE OFFENSE Total offense = LSU #28 Scoring offense = LSU #20 Rushing offense = LSU #4 Passing offense = LSU #120 Passing Efficiency = LSU #50 Red zone offense = #29 Completion percentage = LSU #73 3rd down conversions = LSU #39 Fumbles lost = LSU #11 Passes had intercepted = LSU #1 Sacks allowed = LSU #23 DEFENSE Total defense = LSU #15 Scoring defense = LSU #43 Passing defense = LSU #45 Rushing defense = LSU #8 Pass efficiency defense = #LSU 50 Red zone defense = LSU #116 3rd down conversions = LSU #43 Fumbles recovered = LSU #121 Passes intercepted = LSU # 46 Team Sacks = LSU # 24 SPECIAL TEAMS Net punting = LSU #121 Punt returns = LSU #38 Kickoff returns = LSU #99 Kickoff return defense = LSU #99 Punt return defense = LSU #127, which is what we call DEAD LAST in the BCS Fewest penalties = LSU #82 Time of Possession = LSU #22 Turnover margin = LSU #20 Winning percentage = LSU #1 tie Some good stuff here, a lot of average, and too many horrible stats after 6 weeks of football. And guess in what category . . .
How can a team with so much talent be so awful on Special Teams? Is it all on Peveto? In 2007 wasn't Peveto coaching special teams? What's changed?
No punter, poor discipline on kick defense teams, short kickoffs, and poor decisions by the punt returner. Peveto is not making the errors, but it is his job to fix them or find players who can get it done. I expect to see more starters on special teams the rest of the year if they are better at it.
rush d was busting ass up the middle on fla. that was some impressive stuff. the numbers reflect it. total defense not bad.
None of those numbers are surprising, but actually seeing the numbers on special teams is sickening. Shows about what everyone has been saying on offense and defense, pretty good, but plenty of room for improvement.
