Single White (Fe)male It's the story of aggy's entire history and their burning desire to BE tu.

It's like none of those mouth breathers have ever heard of Lou Holtz or poor mouthing.

2009 OL was average. Not good run blockers but pretty good pass protectors. 31 sacks given up on 540 pass attempts (5.4% sack ratio) which is well above average. People are still traumatized by the Big XII CCG where 9 of those sacks occurred. Ex the performance by the freak pass rushing DT, the Texas OL gives up 22 sacks in 13 games (1.7 sacks per game) and an excellent sack ratio of 4.2%. For reference our QBs (mostly freshman Garrett Gilbert) had 42 pass attempts in the NCG and the OL surrendered only ONE sack.

We understand that Grammar is not taught at aggy. The statement in question uses Past Progressive tense. It is used to denote repeated actions that occurred in the past. That in no way contradicts the timeline of known events. It is in fact fully consistent with the past behavior of some of the named institutions, the known issues with private trainers and other reports re: FWK specifically.

So she's Jimbo's Camilla?

It's not your imagination. Nor is it just the sites and outlets catering to casual fans. Here is a write up from 2018 from the best Xs and Os site catering to LSU fans. The Evolution of the Run-Pass Option and What it Might Mean for LSU

Actually Aranda has been good against power spread teams that are NOT like Texas. E.g. Auburn which had a mediocre passer at QB but made up for it with his lack of mobility. Two parts to TO margin and you missed the more important part. LSU was T-16 in turnovers gained but T-9 in turnover lost. The upside to an ultra-conservative offense is minimizing turnovers lost. The aggregates also fail to account for the fact that LSU's defense feasted on the crappy offenses they faced while looking quite pedestrian against the decent or better offenses. TOs were inflated by playing LA Tech, SE LA and (crippled) UCF OOC. LSU also gained 4 INTs against the Wildcat specialist in QB drag at MSU. The Georgia game was the real outlier - where they gained 4 TOs against a good offense. A single TO gained would actually be the most common result in conference play - it happened 4 times.

There were multiple games were Mond was completely unable to accurately throw anything beyond the short end of intermediate. Against UK he didn't hit a targeted receiver more than 10 yds downfield. His receivers and esp that TE that just graduated helped Mond's stats with a bunch of YAC.

Exactly. Don't forget that before LSU he was at Wisconsin where the competition was Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern and (pre-Brohm) Purdue. That's not exactly a parade of Spread and Air Raid offenses that he was forced to scheme against even in his pre-Fatball(TM) career.

Single coverage. And if the Corner stays over the top, the QB can just throw back shoulder.

FIFY

The fact that they are trying to transition to a scheme based on the quick game and RPOs yet the OL gave up SIX sacks in their scrimmage should concern any rational LSU fan.

This obviously works in their world. You know the one with controllers and cheat codes...

No, no you don't understand. Last year Joe Burrow looked bad because he had to learn a new offense. This year he's going to be much better because he's learning a new offense.

Opposing counsel is not prepared to so stipulate at this time.

That and dragging around bad seasons from 3-4 years ago and projecting off of them.

Perusing the LSU boards, one finds a great deal of optimism. Such is the nature of fans. One recurring theme is talk of how much Joe Burrow improved as the season went on. Usually this is defined as post-Bama and his numbers certainly went up. Closer examination suggests a more likely alternative explanation for the statistical improvement. Game #1 post-Bama was Arkansas. Clearly a crap team at 2-10, including losses to G5 UNT and CSU. Arky's pass defense was particularly wretched, ranking #115 nationally in Pass Efficiency Defense. Joe Burrow's QBR was 165.1 against this juggernaut. Rice was up next for LSU. They were 2-11 against one of the worst SOS out there (#99). Despite the weak competition, Rice managed to be even worse statistically than Arkansas at #121 PED. Result: Burrow looks great with a 187.2 QBR. Third game is @aggy. Even with 3 OOC auto wins, they still rank #106 in PED. Burrow's QBR: 151.5 The bowl game fortuitously matches LSU with UCF. While the Knights look decent on pass defense (#27 PED) they are putrid at Run D #117. Fearing LSU's running game, UCF crowded the box, played man coverage almost exclusively, left their corners on an island and focused on maintaining gap integrity rather than penetrating to create pass pressure. The net of that was no pressure on Burrow, tons of time to throw and for LSU's far more athletic WRs to get open against inferior CBs 1-on-1. Since the alternative was to have UCF's horribad Rush D beaten to death I suppose this was the least bad outcome starting with such a terrible mismatch. We discover that Joe Burrow can hit wide open receivers when given a clean pocked for 4-5 seconds. The result: Burrow now looks like Tom Brady and posts a 192.1 QBR. The bottom line is that LSU played some of the worst defenses in FBS to close the season. 3 of them were in the bottom 20 defending the pass. The 4th completely distorted their defensive structure because their run defense was in the bottom 10 nationally. Whatever the opposite of Murderers Row is, Joe Burrow faced it to close the 2018 season. It would be shocking if his numbers DIDN'T increase drastically against this collection of special needs defenses.

So Jimbo tried to go in dry?

I'm expecting HUNH and a fair amount of the quick game early. It's what Herman did to Georgia, which got their fat NTs running all over the field with no chance to rotate subs in. LSU's 370 lb NT should be even more vulnerable to this. I also expect lots of RB screens and use of counter. The best way to counter LSU's size is with speed and blocking angles. The front 6 is huge and (for their size) fast. But change of direction is something else again. Delayed screens allow the offense to strip away run support from Tigah corners locked up in man coverage. They just run away from the NT and backside DE. And the smaller, quicker Texas OL are better at picking off LBs and safeties in space. Finally, Coach O is promising more aggressive penetration by the defensive front. That's a recipe for being abused by misdirection.

It's like old people who can't admit their 35 year old children are now adults. If they're kids are actually adults that would mean they themselves are OLD and that's simply not possible. aggy can't admit that Texas was a much better team than they thought by the end of the season. Since they can't possibly admit the obvious truth, they twist themselves into knots trying to rationalize, excuse and outright fantasize their way into some absurd alternate narrative.

I went to SEC Rant to check the pulse of LSU fans on the upcoming game. Found aggy talking boycott of the entire site since they are so put upon (poooooor aggyyyyyyyyyy!) A Day Without aggy. That will show them how important we are! Woop! https://www.secrant.com/rant/texas-a-m-sports/proposed-moratorium-on-rant-posting/84859405/

As long as the ball remains in the QB's hands, the DBs have to honor the threat and cover downfield. LSU keeps their corners in man technique close to 100% of the time. If you can simulate a passing threat long enough to get them out of their backpedal, they can be taken out of run support with their backs turned to the QB.
