In week four we are starting to see some trends. Offense is sliding to the bottom. Defense is rising towards the top. Special teams rule. Total Offense = Alabama #1 . . . LSU #11 ( down from 10) Scoring Offense = Alabama #1 . . . LSU # 9 (down from 8) Passing Offense = Arkansas #1 . . . LSU #12 for the 4th straight week . . . Rushing Offense = Auburn #1 . . . LSU #5 (down from 4) Total Defense = LSU #1 . . . replacing Alabama Scoring Defense = Alabama #1 . . . LSU # 2 for the 2nd week Passing Defense = Kentucky #1 . . . LSU #4 (up from 9) as the game one-4th quarter breakdowns get diluted. Rushing Defense = LSU #1 . . . replacing Carolina Punt Returns = LSU #1 for the 4th week. Kick Returns = Alabama #1 . . . LSU #3 for the 2nd week. Punt defense = Vanderbilt #1 . . . LSU #5 (up from 8) Kick defense = LSU #1 for the 2nd week Fumbles Lost = Kentucky #1 . . . LSU #10T Fumbles recovered = LSU #1 for the 4th week Sacks =Arkansas #1 . . . LSU #4 (down from #3) Tackles for Loss = Auburn #1 . . . LSU #2 (down from #1) Turnover margin = Florida #1 . . . LSU #5 (up from #9) Fix the offense and LSU is in a BCS bowl.
Thanks for posting this. It really does speak for itself. It is unacceptable that LSU continues to perform so badly on offense with the talent they have at their disposal. This isn't a one year aberration. This isn't the result of unlucky breaks. This is the result of extreme sub-par coaching that is inexcusable at this level.
Les's stubborn ways may just well cost him his job, not this year, but certainly sooner rather than later if this continues. There has to be a point where something is done to remedy the situation. :geauxtige
Yeah i was talking about Les too, but you would think someone in the Offensive setup would look at the numbers and see that whatever they have schemed and planned is not working at all. It did not work last year either. Maybe it is time to try something else.
It can be a direct issue, like last year when we took so many delay penalties because the coaches got plays in late. Indirectly coaches are responsible for players knowing the rules, of course. But you have to hold the players responsible for knowing the snap count, not hitting players 4 yards out of bounds, holding, roughing passers, and such. They have the prime responsibility not to commit these fouls. If they commit them persistently, then the coaches have to bench them.
