musicitytiger 281 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 While our OL play was struggling Saturday, the margin for error was razor thin. Our staff was completely out coached by orgeron and ensminger. Let that set in for a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball 2,592 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I disagree with being out coached totally. In some instances during the game, yes. Once again, just like last year, one big play changed the game. Last year was punt return, this year was the 71 yard touchdown pass. Penalties and turnovers cost Auburn this game.

musicitytiger 281 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Middle school football coaches could have won this game. When facing an offense that’s setting up in max protect drive after drive, put another man on the ball. When facing a defense that’s putting 7-9 in the box and attacking the middle, add some protection......or at least quit pulling your center. We had the talent to blow the game wide open, but the coaching crippled us. Why is it 101 stuff that Gus fails at? Can’t we ever fail at something really complex?

Getting out coached was just a small part of the game . A lot of other things that were in our control we didn’t take advantage of plain and simple. Very very winnable game . . So disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So besides the Football 101 class and Middle School football you mentioned earlier how else can you help Gus win the rest of the games? Asking for 85000 of my friends.

You are right. But coaches didn’t fail to block the LSU LB who blew us up on 4th and 1 early in the game, or throw two picks, or have a bad snap on our field goal which could’ve iced the game. They also weren’t in coverage on the 4th and 7 LSU executed. LSU has the second most NFL players behind Bama. They have great athletes, and in spite of their average coaches, they made more plays than we did. At least that’s the way I process it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our execution on O was embarrassingly poor. Missed blocking assignments, missed blitz pick ups, dropped passes, poor pass pro by our tackles, hesitation and poor progressions by the QB, and penalties at the worst times. Even then the coaches got us to 21-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I thought Gus made an iffy call was the first decision to go for a first down vesus a field goal. Your thoughts? On the surface most of the play calling on offense looked rational. It was the blocking schemes that were absurd. When the box is loaded and you have 2-3 players hitting A gap series after series, if you want to succeed consistently you have to adjust. I saw zero adjustments from this staff to help the players. In fact, we continued to pull the center leaving a gaping hole for traffic to enter. Our scheme on defense was pretty tough to watch too. Picture our offense lined up in the heavy package, that’s essentially what LSU did the entire game. Did we adjust by bringing up 5 good sized fellas to the line? Nope. It’s hard to get penetration with 4 linemen on 7 blockers. We proved it over and over. To the rest of the wise guys here - Don’t let me stop you though, keep showering me with all of the data driven opinions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then the coaches got us to 21-10. The final drives in the first half were fantastic. Great execution combined with excellent play calling. The one thing that isn’t being highlighted is that when we got in the redzone, we came away with three touchdowns against a really good defense. I liked some of the small subtle changes we made to some of our looks on offense as well. Lots of small things that are normally tells of the play itself were broken a few times which is always great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we were pulling the center was an adjustment to LSU’s d alignment because from my perspective we rarely pull the center. It was definitely a chess match against one of the better d coordinators in the sec from an offensive standpoint and with fewer penalties and turnovers I think we should have scored @ 30-35 points. So with that I believe we called and adjusted pretty good on offense, but execution was spotty. I was more concerned about the defense, but I can’t get to upset about that because we handed them 7 points right off with the interception.

Steele knows how to adjust. Sure, there are going to be a mistake here and there, but as you said, we don't see it but there is a chess match going on. The problem I have is with the D to a point. Yes the offense didnt help in the latter part of the 3rd and 4th qtrs with there poor drives that ended in 3 punts, a missed FG, and a INT. But the D at home, had to play smarter knowing it was under 6 mins left and LSU used up every minute of that time. We struggled to make 3rd down stops in critical situations, and the DBs have to play smart and make sure they don't give up free yards. We rely so much on our front 4 to disrupt the plays to help the DBs, but Saturday they couldnt get it done, and the LSU was able to comfortably execute key pass plays....

keesler 5,924 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If LSU was able to comfortably execute key pass plays with that QB, I shudder to think what some of our future opponent's QBs will try to do. Our coaches better get out the Bobby Fisher chess manual and get to work pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
