Herman's team is getting run over by an inferior Memphis team. He "O" looks awful

I believe he ran a 3-4 defense at Wisc. Is he known for blitzing a lot or very little? At least he'll have some decent talent to begin his new position.

Best wishes to him and his family.

It is because they leave early to go pro. Very few starting seniors on the teams under Miles. This proves the coaches can coach. So they lose their best leaders to the NFL. This is the reason the Tigers are never senior laden. This creates a loss of talent and leadership ability. Who is at fault?

However, the NFL teams are smiling. Look at the great performances of some LSU players who joined the draft and are playing outstanding football at the NFL level: Peterson, Collins, Hill, Beckham, Randle, etc, etc. Had these men stayed on campus think of the valuable talent the Tigers would have had for another year or two!

I'm in with Les

Many players have left early for the NFL in past years. In truth, this has robbed Miles/LSU of veteran players on both sides of the ball. This happens because Les is a top recruiter. So, in reality, he and team never get the benefit of a talent laded and veteran senior team.

Les' recruiting actually hurts him. After 3 years they leave, leaving only a less veteran group to play.

As the season winds down upcoming opponents are stacking the box against the LSU o-line. They simply cannot block the numbers. They are outmanned. A fix would have been to run a more "open" offensive scheme i.e.: counters, reverses, and some passes in non-obvious situations. Everyone is keying on LF and company.

Miles is still the one to coach LSU. Players love him. He's a proven winner. Great record during his tenure.

Let the loss go. Play well the rest of the season and win a bowl game.

Great news. A terrific athlete in FB & BB.

The passing game was not needed except in cases of penalties putting the offense in deep holes at Syracuse. The backs all ran hard.

Each pass puts the QB of injury risk from blindside shots. LSU ends up winning by 10. THe Carrier Dome is a very tough environment giving them imo a 10 point advantage at home. The Orangemen use it to their advantage as does Seattle in the NFL.

Good game Tigers

Well, not playing the game cost LSU some reps for sure. It also gets some seasonal butterflies away. However, a win against McNeese isn't important. The main factor is: no injuries. Full strength in week 2.
