🏈 At some point, we are going to need to upgrade at offensive coordinator

There can be no doubt that our defense held up their end of the bargain Saturday night against LSU - 6 points in regulation, no TDs, fewer yards, no 100 yard rusher, etc. The offense moved the ball quite well between the 30s and then repeatedly stalled. Mixed in with poor play-calling were delay of game penalties and too many men in the huddle among other things. Then we had a gimpy WR throwing a 30 yard pass to our TE, who almost caught it. Our called plays and our organization in OT isn't even worth mentioning.

I don't know that it is so much overall gameplanning as it is in-game playcalling. I know that ultimately it falls on CNS, but I have been very frustrated with McElwain for years. Sure he has a great overall record, it just seems like he is not getting the most out of his talent. It was the same for him in the NFL with the Raiders - very mediocre. I felt that we should have run some no-huddle against LSU for sure to neutralize their D-line depth. Also, is it really smart to continue to play a gimpy Marquis and a gimpy Barrett Jones? At what point is the back-up more effective? Maybe not in Barrett's case, but we have some really good young talent at WR.

Anyway... it's water under the bridge now, but it does get frustrating to see the same ole, same ole play-not-to-lose mentality on offense.

I have to say I agree. I am so sick and tired of us not using the middle of the field in our passing game, using the TE more and the poor play calling overall. Our offense moved the ball and then we would have a bad play or two in a row. The subbing situation is no ones fault but the offensive coach getting in the correct players. You do not go into big ball games and make the mistakes we made on offense and special teams and expect to win the game.

Should we have followed the rule of thumb here? The way that the two defenses were playing, OT figured to be a battle of field goal kickers. Their guy was better than ours. Our best chance to win was to do so in regulation.
