re: What do you think LSU's problem is?

Our defense is good. We held UF to only 14 despite constantly giving them chances due to going 3 and out frequently. Our offense, however, would not have scored a point if florida hadn't spoon fed us to the redzone

Loss of talent on the defensive side and beliefs in false prophets at the QB position.

For someone that follows our team as closely as you do, you would think that you would know that defense is not LSU's problem.

LSU is #3 in Total Defense and #8 in scoring Defense in the nation this year. Defense and the loss of talent from last year is, obviously and clearly, not the problem.

In order here are the top problems with LSU (The first 3 make up 90% of LSU's problem this year):

1. Miles did not fix the OC position during the off-season. LSU runs a very vanilla, high school offense with zero imagination. Teams simply stack the box and double up on the two WR option's that LSU has per pass play they run.

2. Miles meddles too much in the offense and has a Big 10, 1970's mentality and since 2008 has played not to lose rather than play to win like he did from 2005-2007.

3. The loss of Chris Faulk and Alfred Blue to season ending injuries are huge. Faulk was LSU's best and most important Offensive lineman. Blue was LSU's fastest, quickest, and best home run threat in the back-field.

4. WR poor routes, too many dropped passes, and no big, tall go-to WR.

5. Mett has not really hurt this team as much as some might think. While he doesn't recognize blitzes as well as he should, holds on to the ball a bit too long, he is not really hurting this team like some might think.
