If we win I'll never do anything bad ever again in my life. Plssssss

 

[chavisut]

First half cliffs?

 

[Catbone]

1) Dobbs is bad

2) 3rd down defense is bad

 

[InVOLuntary]

On a side note has anyone noticed LSU's weak a$$ schedule?

Let's see which coaching staff makes better adjustments at half.

Let's see which coaching staff makes better adjustments at half.

How can we adjust if Dobbs can't throw? What more can we do on offense?

Hurd

He's throwing decently well. 14-22 for 146 yards.

Keep doing what we're doing on offense and try to limit stupid mistakes.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Medley missed a kick, Pdub fumbled in the red zone, and Kamara housed one that got called back. Yall gona blame play calling? Idiots

To me what is most frustrating is that they'll call a few great drives and then lay an egg with possessions like that last one.

I'd rather see us go balls to the wall and maybe have a few mistakes trying to push the ball than to play scared like they did the last drive and just try get to halftime. It's not like our defense has been playing well enough to make much of a difference anyway.

Overall, the offense hasn't been the problem today, but it still is frustrating to see us go super conservative in crucial situations.

Defense is bad.

 

[NMVol]

Hurd

In that last possession they were beginning to key on Hurd. Be interesting to see the response.

 

[volfanCLT]

Would like to see Dobbs keep a few in the 2nd half. Use those legs

Let Dobbs run?

But it's irrelevant. We all know that Butch doesn't really believe in in-game adjustments.

How many of those completions have been at or behind the line of scrimmage though?

I'm not sure I'd read much into that. They know we aren't doing anything past the LOS in that situation.

thats how i feel.

They chewed his ass on his last keep.

 

[RockyTop85]

This isn't on coaches. All the "execution" talk is warranted here.

I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling we are headed for a 2011 type season where the players are just phoning it in by the end of the year.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

the sad part is every week you can see it coming a mile away. Its starting to feel like the last couple heartbreakers.

 

[jordan4vols]

Seriously?

You think Dobbs is throwing it well?

 

[SSVol]

2) 3rd down defense is bad

Maybe I'm looking at different stats, but I think Arky is 1 for 5. I assume our defense had a role in that.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

This game is right on track.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Unbelievable. I thought I had PDSD as bad as anyone, but yall have already conceded the result.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Only really bad coaching calls have been a conservative last drive and MAYBE having too many DL on the line on third down.

The PW fumble, the block in back on alvin's return, and missed field goal costs up potentially 17 points...at least 13.

The field hasn't made our tackling any better and defense has missed some big tackles.

And refs won't call holding on Barnett, but can't leave the game in the refs' hands.

 

[volfanCLT]

Other than that last drive, not a lot of issues with the play calling.

Play to our strengths and take some shots to keep them on their heels
