After reading the bytching I could swear some people watched a different game so I decided to break it down into stats you dont get in the box score. I did the 1st half so far - if I feel like it I’ll do the second.

For receiver formation I just noted the number of receivers left or right.
We don’t run out of a lot of different formations other than number of receivers.
Also the Read Option is not a big part of the offense - we ran it twice. Sompebosy was complaining we ran too may RPO's which we don't even run).

As I pointed out in another thread most passes were of the 10-30 yard variety IN THE AIR. Trask is 10-15 yards deep when he throws so safe to say his effective range might be 45 yards given that the 30 yard passes were thrown behind the receivers.

EJ tended to come in on a short field so not so many long passes

PLAY ACTION - 13 times for 10 passes and 3 runs. Interestingly I twice we threw a Pass off of PA then lined up in the exact same formation and ran off the play action.

PASS PLAYS - 25
- Designed Pass - 12
- Play Action - 10
- Scramble - 3

Run Plays 18
- Designed Run - 11

I wasn't aware you can copy and paste the entire ESPN game play by play.

I really wanted to know how many times we tried to run between the tackles. I counted about 8 called runs and not surprisingly they weren't successful. We only ran one off of PA and none off of RPO. That's just the RBs
The QBs had more success - about 4 runs 10 yards, 5 yards, 15, yards.

Wow second half was totally different. LSU brought pressure on every down. We countered with a reverse 2-3 times, option 4-5 times a QB draw and a WR screen, mostly successfully. And a trick play that almost worked for a TD. Trask attempted a 50 yarder from the end zone. Other than the one WR screen that went for 10-15 yards all passes were respectfully down field. I only counted 4 plays for EJ. If Trak options on the last play maybe Perine scores.
Bytching about EJ or Mullen's play calling is sophistic.

I think now they're just resorting to Mullen WANTS to run a sideways offense with EJ.
I saw Donk admit he’s “surprised” by Mullen’s playcalling. At least he’s coming around. I think Ox just broke or something. Could just be that time of the month.

Yawn. If Trask wasn't available, Mullen's playcalling wouldn't be surprising.

  • (5:48 - 2nd) Emory Jones pass complete to Lamical Perine for 1 yd for a TD, (Evan McPherson KICK)
  • PASS - 1-0, Fade away jumper. reminds me of Sexy Rexy who would just throw the ball u and good things would happen
2 nd half
After Trask goes 3-0 getting and sacked EJ comes in. LSU has decided to start bringing pressure.
He crashes into the line twice.
On 3rd and 10 he throws a 20 yard dart that could have been caught but falls incomplete. If that pass is caught i doubt anybody is bytching today.

He comes in for one play on 2nd to last drive after a successful reverse for a first down was ran. He runs a QB keeper for 2. Trask then promptly throws interception.

Seriously, bytching about Mullen bringing in EJ is just silly.

Mullen calls what his QB is capable of running. Franks couldn't read defenses and had a strong arm. So with him it was all WR screens and bombs. He works with what he's got.
