LSU's loss to Alabama on Saturday night in prime time was much more than a loss game. It exposed a fairy tale offense, the worst this writer has seen since LSU's re-match loss to Alabama in the national championship game a few years ago. Miles was no longer on the side lines but the offensive play calling and game plan was a mirror image of the Miles era. Fournette right and Fournette left and get stuffed. A passing game that never looked downfield.
A number of SEC teams that played Alabama this year scored more than 20 points and moved the ball offensively against them. Their players are no better than LSU's players but are better coached and were not afraid to challenge and attack Alabama's defense. LSU never made that a part of their game plan and as a result they never took advantage of how great LSU's defense played.
LSU needs to clean house with the current coaching staff, hire a head coach with a proven record and let him hire his assistants. A program that has been up and down now for the past 11 years has to come to a end. And sports writers for the Picayune and the Advocate have been so wrong for so many years with their sports hype need to apologize to their readers for their failure to be objective.
By the way, did any one really believe LSU could produce a offensive Heisman trophy winner under Miles offensive system? Give me a break.
