The Tigers Blew It

Yep, the LSU Tigers really blew it Friday. They lost of Arkansas in the last minute of the game. Poor defense and an offensive that sputtered -- again. True, they have quarterback problems but the young quarterback seemed to do well - for a while.

I blame the poor offense on the Offensive Coordinator, Coach Crowton. He was a failure a BYU and now he is a failure at LSU as an assistant coach. His designed offense is no good and his play calling ability really stinks. He can not get off doing something. He will try to run through the middle and the back gets stuffed. He keeps on trying that.

Arkansas forgoes the run and takes to the pass and it works for them. Why can't LSU do the same? Crowton is the reason. He can not seem to figure out when something is not working. And Les Miles lets him keep on doing it.

The defensive coach and coordinator is not doing so well either. The defense steadily declined over the season. They did pretty well against Bama but after that it all went hell in a hand basket. They got run over by Troy and everybody after saw the films and exploited the LSU defense.

Well there is next year. Time to reassess and maybe move a few coaches on to somewhere else.
