The excuse now is that he looked bad because he didn’t practice with the starters all week. Dude really is infallible at this point. You could stick him with the Chiefs and when he sucks they will convince themselves that Andy Reid is the worst coach ever.

Seems like the OL was the problem all along…

You hire a guy who’s turned around ANY FBS program and turned them into a consistent winner. The days of poaching a winning coach from a “lesser” program at the P4 level are over in this age of NIL. Anyone can be successful with money. Rhett Lashlee? Dude has near unlimited funds and resources at SMU to get good players. LSU would be a step down. Go get a guy like the North Texas HC.

After Pavia shredded our “elite defense” like a high school team? I get that Pavia is really good but we have way too much talent to be embarrassed like that.

Dumb take. LSU’s offense is what lost that game leaving at least 3 TDs on the field. The defense did enough to win that game, but it’s hard to contain a really good offense in modern football when your offense goes three and out every series.

Good lord. Foster is one season and 2 games into his tenure. The buyout must have been low

New Mexico blowing you out at home should always be a firable offense at the P4 level.

And yes generally speaking you run outside zone and duo with a TE and inside zone out of 10 personel.

---

Not necessarily. You can run OZ without a TE…the OL blocking and RB track are exactly the same as with a TE.

And you most certainly can run IZ with a TE on the line…pro teams have run IZ out of the I formation and single back sets since the 80’s.

Split Zone, inside or outside, is just zone with an FB/HB/TE blocking the backside EMOL instead of the QB reading him.

Zone blocking scheme and rules get so crazy complicated it’s unbelievable so just saying “it’s zone scheme” doesn’t scratch the surface.

---

Zone schemes are actually very simple, especially inside zone. Where teams run into problems is trying the run zone plays with poor technique. Bad steps, weak combo blocking, slow reaction to LBs…that will all render zone runs useless.

OL and Nuss need to build more trust. There were some instances of Nuss back pedaling away from the pressure instead of stepping up and letting his guys protect him.

Running game needs to start clicking in the 1Q. It’s clear that the offense is designed to operate off of running the ball, but when it isn’t working the whole system bogs down.

WRs are obviously talented, but they are being limited by play calling. They aren’t the turn and burn types that will outrun defenses outside all game. They thrive on short/medium crossing routes with the occasional deep shot. Green is a unique big bodied weapon and LSU needs to move him around more to find matchups.

Defense looked REALLY good. DL was dominant and the LBs and secondary were flying around making plays. CBB has his system in and the guys are playing well. Didn’t like the way they gave up that short yardage TD, but they locked in after that.

CBK needs to take the points in big games, especially in that situation before half. If the defense doesn't shut Clemson down the second half that game goes very differently.

quote:

---

I know nuss is slow as shite. But if he just keeps one of those reads he runs for at least 8 yards

---

The problem is that there’s almost always an extra defender to pop him if he pulls it, and there’s no outlet for that. Can’t run a read option when you’re out leveraged.

Is it possible that none of them can get open?

Madden bros think you can just throw it up and they’ll go grab it.

A 5th round draft pick being #3 in jersey sales…people should just mail me the check if they want to throw away money.
