Jefferson couldn't throw the ball down field. The one time he did he got pasted by Sunseri. JJ is a jerk but yalls OL is as much to blame as play calling imo

I couldnt. I predicted 21-14 Alabama. Never dreamed that LSU wouldnt score. Well, I had a dream about 4 weeks ago that the score would be 33-0 Alabama but damn.

I was really nervous they were going to start throwing the ball downfield. They came out in the second half, and did for a few plays. It worked, but then they abandoned it.

I don't think he could believe what was going on.

Yes. Your O-line was being eaten alive. Jefferson would have just been sacked or flushed from the pocket if you tried to go down the field.

I made this point earlier, but I think Miles prepared and coached arrogantly and it cost him. Saban and his coaching staff made a ton of adjustments from the Nov 5 game because they knew they were up against a great team. They broke tendancies, made adjustments, prepared for all circumstances and it showed.
It's like Miles just said, screw it, we beat them once and we are just going to do the same thing again. And when it became glaringly obvious that the same thing was not going to work he was either incapable of adjusting or too arrogant to admit that the same thing would not beat Alabama again.

What made you think Miles was capable of coming out with a complex game plan with multiple contingencies if things didn't work as planned? Has he ever done that in a significant game at LSU?
Miles is what he is. He is a great recruiter and a very good motivator. His kids play hard and when he has better talent, the talent and effort usually are enough in the end. But, he doesn't do complex game plans and once LSU couldn't run at all on Alabama, this game was over.

I mentioned this somewhere else in another post, but, I was shocked that it became apparent early in the 4th quarter that LSU was just going to run the ball. I couldn't believe it because you're at least 2 scores down (15 pts) and you start running out the clock.
I know things weren't working, but, I knew then that #14 was headed to Tuscaloosa, and, LSU was giving it to Bama.

I think JJ was not able to recognize Bama's coverage.

Yes. Throwing the deep ball was your only chance to get a quick play and come back and Miles refused to admit that his gameplan did not work.

I kept waiting for the JJ hook, and it...just...never...happened.

I think I'm more shocked now after looking at the box score. I was drinking last night and wasnt fully paying attention to everything, but 0 pts, 5 1st downs, less than 100 total yards, and only crossed the fifty once? Never would I have expected that. And I damn sure expected Les to go for it more than once when trailing in a NCG. Hell he went for it 5 times (I think) in one game against Florida.

I was wondering if Lee would at least get a series when the option wasn't working. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but Miles probably should have changed it up to try to get something going. It sucks for Lee that he didn't even get an opportunity in his last game in an LSU uniform.

He couldn't throw it down field because they were all over him and the DBs were covering the WR.
