After the Storm: LSU

Offense was predictable. From the very first offensive series, which was a three-and-out, I started thinking, “Nothing has changed.” Miami’s offense didn’t evolve really at all over the off-season. The formations are the same. The alignments are the same. The personnel is mostly the same (performance-wise). No misdirection, no motion, no wrinkles, no scheming people open. The offense seems like it’s simply, “we think our athletes are better than your athletes”. In fact, I thought that the offense seemed so basic that anyone could run it, and I did not see Rosier using his experience to make any on the fly adjustments at the line, which is why I’m not buying that a redshirt or true freshman could not handle the QB job in this offense.

Exactly, what in this offense does the QB really need experience for? Perry has over a year of experience and the other guys 6 months. Now, with Gauthier making the protection calls, there is nothing a QB a year in the system should not handle. There is no excuse for Rosier being the starter by the first ACC game. I'm hopeful that change is coming and these next 2 weeks are easing Perry in.

Those 3 punts that averaged 25 yards, giving them a short field - just awful, awful.

You can survive a single, sometimes even two turnovers, or a bad stretch. But three **** shanks with momentum hanging in the balnace AFTER LAST YEAR. Talk about shooting yourself with a foot.

His bad punting is either going to cause us to singlehandidly lose another game or cause a game to be a lot closer then it should be. Those 3 punts were absolute killers. Giving them the ball at midfield 3 straight times with a short field? Smh. This was still LSU we were playing not Savannah State. Our D was put in bad spots all night.

Of course, but I can't be there every day at practice. Tough questions are also a good way to get your credentials revoked, a very fine line you have to walk.

Would be worth it in my opinion, though not necessarily yours..lol.

Sadly, Richt appears to need some uncomfortable questions to keep him on his toes.

UM

@Stefan Adams, is there any potential at all for a change in punters?

This won’t be the only game Feagles costs us if we allow him to keep playing

First one not his fault as I have never witnessed a guy come untouched through the middle, he may have been trying to avoid him, a good punt would have been blocked... the rest I agree completely. At this point I would be fine with him doing the running, rugby, low line drive bouncing punt.

Try asking Saban a tough question watch what happens to your access....happens all across sports

Saban's earned that right. Richt and company have a lot to answer for and the fact remains he's being paid at close to an elite level. It's fair to send heat his direction.

Ok used Saban as a bad example but in general see what happens when you press in any college or even pros. You gotta walk a fine line whether you agree or not.
 
Everyone kills Knowles for that play, but I am no sure it is deserved. First in a very good breakdown of um defense posted elsewhere, it was mentioned that um players seem to be told to rush to the ball without regard for gap integrity. If that's correct, then Knowles was doing what he was taught to do. To me, the ones more responsible on that play are #9 on the dline who wiffed on getting a hand on his guard, and the lb (don't know who) that filled too far outside. Knowles deserves plenty of criticism, just not necessarily on that play.
 
This is a quote from the Miami Herald an hour ago:

UM on Monday changed the way it communicates on the offensive line to pick up blitzes. Center Tyler Gauthier is now assuming a larger role in that. “I keep my head up so I can make calls for blitzes. We are doing it for the full game now. It went really well today. I think it is going to help us a lot.” Coach Brown said the change is “going to be huge.”

Read more here: UM coach says ‘too many guys didn’t show up.’ But Richt blames himself for this one thing.

Now why why is this being done on September 4th, 2018? clearly expected blitzes from the LSU defense on Sunday. I hated our Golden years, and welcomed CMR back to the U, but but but I'm concerned.

We must substantially play two other QBs now, eventually replacing Rosier, play Spicer, play Scaife at RT (cannot be worse) with Donaldson replacing Brown and allow one of the Freshman cb to take over the Dean nickel slot.

Stefan nice write up. Painful to read but much appreciated. Understand what you're saying but at this juncture CMR needs to be asked, and start answering, some of those tough questions. His other option is to sit back swinging at those softballs being tossed his way as the planes fuel up and the banners start to fly. It's past time to see some f ing changes....

I believe it was Jennings.

There was another big run where lsu gashed use because of poor gap responsibility. We had two lbs in and shaq was lined up over the right B gap. The rb started towards the 2/4 hole and Shaq shuffles to his left (way to fast, trying to make the play) leaving his gap wide open. The rb sees either the hole or shaq over pursuing and bends it back left to the hole Shaq left. By the time shaq tried to get back to his gap he was sealed off by either the center or backside guard.

Another culprit in the play was BJ Jennings, who ran himself out of his gap where Brossette also ran through. Still does not excuse Knowles though, as the last man on the back line shouldn't rush into a blocker like that, or take that poor of an angle in doing so.
