Tigers putrid offense finally catches up with them

Florida has a great defense. There's no question about that. But, LSU's offense is a mess. It has been all season long.

Did you expect anything different from what you saw in the first five games?

Jordan Jefferson again held on to the ball too long. Jefferson was sacked five times. But, in fairness to Jefferson, he is a quarterback playing behind a poor offensive line, and a running game that is almost non existent.

Maybe Les Miles hasn't recruited well enough up front. Maybe coaching is the issue. But, with this offense LSU will have difficulty beating every team left on the schedule except for Tulane.

Over the last ten seasons, LSU elavated itself to the elite in college football by doing two things: running the football (to set up play action pass) and playing great defense.

The Tigers are again doing the latter. Holding Florida to 13 points and 327 total yards was a spectacular effort.

All wasted by a putrid offensive effort. A 5-0 start by LSU hid some of the Tigers offensive warts. They were all exposed tonight by a terrific Florida defense.
