LSU 31 - Washington 23: Snap Judgments

“I don’t want to be too critical of the defensive line. I thought they got pretty good pressure at least some of the time. They will have to stay more disciplined with their rush lanes whenever we face a mobile QB though”.

That had a lot to do with why they got so many conversions on third down. ^

Think Crowton played it vanilla tonight. I was glade to see that we could turn it on and score when needed like we did on the drive when Lafell scored.

I think we are a pass run team this year where as last year we were a run then pass team. I think the pass will set up the run this year .

Just my thoughts

….is that we could never establish a running game. Always 2nd and long, 3rd and 5. Couldn’t open the playbook up because the offense was never in rhythm.

My number 1 disappointment was the offensive line….or maybe JJ wasn’t making the right reads…either way they were shooting the gaps and in the backfield very quickly.

My number 2 disappoint was special teams. Our return teams looked confused and never really adjusted to the pooch kicks. Our punter was tragically awful… averaged somewhere just over 30 yrds a game. High school players start at that range.

My number 3 disappoint was with the coaching staff. An all-out blitz on 3rd and 12 to start the game? Stupid. Gave the Huskies the boost they needed. Everything could have been different if we don’t make such a horrendous call. And why in the world would Les Miles call time out when the Huskies had the ball at the end of the first half??? Practically gave Washington 3 pts.

Given the quality of the players we supposedly have this game is a MAJOR disappointment.

to say thank you. I am a die hard Husky fan and I just wanted to say thanks to all the LSU fans that came up to Seattle. I was walking around campus when I heard music and cheers from a scenic(sp) vista. I thought I would have to chase some kids off the lawn, and then I stumbled into the LSU official tailgate. Needless to say I was treated great, fed gumbo and alcohol till I had to peal myself away and get to the game. Absolute class! I look forward to 2012. My dawgs played their hearts out and I am looking forward to a much different season than 0-12.

Geaux Tigers and Sickem Dawgs!!!

I saw Rueben Randle in the game a couple of times. One time he had a nice down field block that helped a K. Williams (or maybe it was Tolliver) run.

Peterson play a GREAT game.
The defensive line played up to potential in spots. Need to be more consistent.
That we should have looked to pass more on that Husky team.
The running suffered because that’s what the Huskies keyed on all night. It was the only thing they had a hope of stopping.
That PP and CJ seem to be the only DBs who can highpoint the ball.
Eugene and Hawkins disappointed me again with their play.
The O-line looked average.
Sarkesian opened it up for their Super Bowl, while Crowton kept it pretty vanilla.

If we were overlooked a bit in the SEC West before the game, we are an afterthought now. Although that may work in our favor.

We have 3 more “learner” games to get it right though. God I hope we don’t play to our next 3 opponents level.

of what Florida will do to us in our own stadium. Right now, I’m hoping we re-create what happened with Bo Pellini – when his defense stunk it up big time in Arizona on the first game of the Les Miles (and Bo Pellini) era. The defense went on to be a strong point, and one year later resulted in a National Championship (that is if my memory is correct on all this).

As for one point I have on our defense – I honestly couldn’t tell you if we were man or zone most of the time. But it seems with the horses we have, we should be lining up mano y mano. I like our chances then.
