It was frustrating as hell. Statistically we were outplaying them well into the 4th quarter. More yards, first downs, etc. Missed FGs, missed red zone chances, missed big play opportunities. Eventually you have to make a play if you're gonna win. We didn't need many, just a few and we couldn't get them. That safety was a perfect example.
Yeah, it was painful to watch.

@Corey_Bender: #LSU HC Les Miles and OC Cam Cameron to have in-home visit tonight w/ #Gators QB commit Feleipe Franks. They'll also be at Franks' practice.

The oline is bad, but they gave Treon enough time on Saturday to make plays. It's not their fault that he refuses to pull the trigger when a guy is open or when he does misses him by 10 yards. Look at I believe our second drive. Calloway was wide open down the sideline for what should have been a touchdown and he under-threw him by 10 yards. When he rolls out he waits until our guy is essentially out of bounds before he throws it. He just flat out can't see the crossing routes as we had guys open all night on them. A couple of them had a lot of space to run on a simple 5-10 yard route and he could not see it or panicked and took off. Where is the guy that ran forward last year and broke ankles those last few games. This year he is playing scared and not to get hurt. hell I would rather him throw a ball up for grabs in the end zone rather than fall down on 4th down. He has only completed three big league passes this year. The first on the crossing route to DRob against LSU and the two prayers to Calloway against LSU and UGA that went for scores.

Not sure how much they can say though. This same situation will happen again next year with Miles because I don't believe the two of them will change their ways. He can't look him in the eyes and say that he will be there two years from now.

I don't think Treon has any trust in the OLine, which is part of the problem also.

I agree. Just like Driskel, he's at the point where he's looking for an escape route first, then worries about trying to find a receiver, after it's already too late.

I hope Eason coming in for a 2 day visit does not chase Frank's away like Mike Davis/Keith Marshall.

I think the entire offense is probably lacking confidence right now. We start making mistakes when we get in crucial situations. Bad snaps, false starts, dropped balls, errant throws, etc..

Yep, the exact opposite of how we started the season...

What is he not confident in himself?

Watch the film on both QBs. Franks is way behind Eason at this point in their careers. I don't want to say he isn't confident in himself, but it's apparent the guy isn't stupid when it comes to realistically evaluating his chances against Eason.

I think I read somewhere that Muschamp's staff messed up his brother's recruitment, so I think the UF relationship can be exploited by LSU. We have no idea the dynamics of the situation, but I hope Mac is handling the situation and not delegating to Nuss. I hope Del Rio is the real deal, because we could miss out on a top QB this cycle.

Franks needs to understand we need QB depth, and we need it now. It's not personal, it's business.
