SCOUTING THE OFFENSE
As the season progressed LSU became much tougher to beat in the running game -- on both sides of the ball. The Tigers enter the Capital One Bowl leading the SEC in rushing offense, at 200.7 yards per game. However, the quarterback position shared by senior Marcus Randall and redshirt freshman JaMarcus Russell has been up and down. When Randall has been consistent, LSU has been tough to beat.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE
The Tigers also enter the Iowa game leading the SEC in rushing defense, holding opponents to 104.5 yards per game. They're willing and able to take chances with multiple blitzes, but the key to success then becomes the play of CBs Corey Webster and Travis Daniels, two talented seniors who have been inconsistent at times this season.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"The best chance we have to win this football game is to have Nick Saban coach." -- LSU athletic director Skip Bertman, who asked Saban to coach the Tigers in the Capital One Bowl against Iowa after Saban agreed to become the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

While Georgia drops off the schedule, Tennessee rotates on. They are going to be super thin and not very experienced at any position next year. I look for Florida to take a step down because of losing all those seniors, and probably most of their juniors as well. Bama will still be tough, and Arkansas is no slouch.

The offense wasn't cutting it this year. So what does Les do? Nothing so far really. Okay, he brought in a new wide reciever coach/passing coordinator. That's not going to do much good if Crowton keeps his job. A losing season would be a good wake-up call to the entire team. He can't continue to play unproductive starters ...(more) Reply to this thread (24 replies)

Not a lot of these kids get recognition, especially in 1A because of the lack of quality teams they play against, and lack of size. Is there a small 1A school, or even 2A school in your area that has players you feel are overlooked? I will give you some examples of a few from m ...(more) Reply to this thread (1 reply)

LSU has lost its third WR recruit.  The top three WR LSU went after have all decommitted.  This is a direct result of Miles and Co. coaching.  Make no mistake about it.  The way Miles and Crowton wasted the talent of RS and RR this year has caused these recruits to bail and I can't blame them.  They know that Miles is selling empty promises.& ...(more) Reply to this thread (21 replies)
