On 5 consecutive series in the third and early 4th quarters we ran virtually identical plays on first and second down. Scott up the middle on first for no gain, a screen to LaFell or some attempt to run around end by going parallel to the line of scrimmage on second for no gain or a loss. Each time the result was 3rd and 10 (or more) placing Jefferson in an most risky situation as the defense knew we had to pass on third… Jefferson got sacked on two of those series. My point is verified by the fact that when we changed our attack on the scoring drive at 8 minutes in the 4th quarter, we were very productive and scored easily.

Also, our offensive line is not performing well enough at this point for Charles Scott to get through the line. He just is not quick enough. But Keiland Williams is. He consistently ran off tackle for 8 or more yards every time he got the chance. I don’t think Miles is managing his personnel very effectively, and since he wears a headset and knows what is being called, he is responsible ultimately for the sorry play calling we saw tonight that kept Vanderbilt in a game they should have lost by 3 or 4 touchdowns.

Richard the rush was on top of him because we were 3rd and 10 and they knew we had to pass… and they sent the house.

We’re only 12 hours removed from LSU winning a home game against an SEC opponent, and this post has already been bumped off the opening screen by something called “Jrlz’s postgame playlist.”

With the goal of sounding as polite as possible, I’ll say that I think the idea of music videos from youtube taking precedence over a post about LSU Tiger football the day after a game is a questionable practice.

Ciron Black has been struggling this year. He has had several penalties, and he got beat a couple of times right off the snap on passing plays. Our line really needs to step it up, if they do that then we could be very good.

The defense played great. I was thinking the same thing about Peterson, and that is amazing, I don’t think I have ever seen a corner not get thrown at in a game. They literally didn’t throw to his man once.

Keiland Williams should be our feature back at this point, he needs more than 10 carries. If Scott picks it up, then we can go back to him, but we have to feed the hot hand.

Even though Jefferson only averaged about 5 yards per attempt, I don’t mind that too much, especially considering he was under heavy pressure much of the time. How many quarterbacks (just think of Lee) would just throw the ball up for grabs when they get under instant pressure? Jefferson just doesn’t make mistakes, at least not yet. That being said, we need to do a much better job of taking advantage of the matchups with our receivers and go deep more. RJ Jackson also had a good night.

Any news on the injuries to Nevis and Murphy? Murphy has been great on kickoff coverage so far this year, and I think I read on ESPN that he’s out at least 2 weeks with an undisclosed injury.
