Love Gus, but still don't like all play calls

That last drive - LSU was gassed. Payne was gutting them. Miller's stupid penalty brought us back out to the 9. But it was first fricking down. I really believe CAP and our OL would have scored had we run it 4 times. May have only needed 1.

And the fricking Frazier cameos a couple of times? It is clear Gus is setting him up to be used to pass the ball as a surprise in a big game like Bama. But 2 things:

1. We can't afford those burned downs right now
2. When he finally DOES throw that pass against Bama, chances are he will throw a pick.

if we run it four times from the 9, we may score but the game would've been over.... you have to throw there to leave time on the clock b/c you're down two scores.

as for frazier and the wildcat, I agree... the first half playcalling left me scratching my head. The weather really affected Marshall and his passing... if he hits a couple more passes, thing might've been different.

I didn't really have any problem with the play calling last night. I really thought is was pretty good.

We were handicapped with the weather and a very shaky Marshall in the first half.

We had to mix in some passes when we were running well or LSU walks the safeties up and we can't run anymore.

We could have scored running on that last TD, but there was 1:46 left when we were on the 5 yard line before the penalty. We score right there, we actually have a shot to get the ball back with an onside kick and a minute and a half left.

Really thought Gus called a good aggressive game overall.
