What the hell happened to him. I understand that a lot of times there isn't much of a hole, but it seems like almost every time he gets the ball he tiptoes to the line runs into the back of an o lineman and then falls down. In my opinion KW has been running a lot harder the last couple of games. Its just frustrating cause it seems like Scott goes down on the first hit every time now. He looks like Justin Vincent after the championship year. And don't say that other teams are stacking the box. I mean auburn stacked the box against us and he was trucking people that game. He just seems to have lost his fire.

Scott & Williams both need to watch Moreno...his legs don't stop when he gets hit....kinda like Dalton Hilliard use to run...maybe they should watch same ol game film of Dalton...

He makes up his mind after two games who the hot hand is and sticks with them (in this case CS) till the cows come home. He is very stubborn, but he's had success in the past and so doesn't want to get risky.

I agree with the assessment that holes are not there like early on, but it's because we are so darn obvious with his running plays. You can't blow out 8-9 men in the box who know the play and are prepared to make us throw to beat them with a young QB.

I loved seeing Holliday and KW in the game. Where the heck is Murphy?

The OL has gotten absolutely killed the last 3 weeks. You can't expect an inside runner to have good games when there is no blocking at the point of attack. KW and Jefferson were able to get outside a few times and pick up yards, but for the 3rd week in a row there was no running room up the middle.

Well he's not water brother. He's got to have linemen to create a seam to run through, which explains why he running into linemen, because the linemen aren't getting the job done.

Coaching is supposed to help refine/improve upon talent(i.e., running technique) Although im sure its hard as hell to run the ball when the o-line and lead blockers are whiffing left and right on their assignments. KW obviously has had the hot hand lately but we all know that equates to a reduction in playing time on this team.

The entire team has shown poor technique at every position on the field at one time or another this season. Many positions have been played poorly for the entire season with little to no sign of improvement. Early to mid-way in the season our ground game was our bread and butter.....where the hell has it disappeared to?? I have been extremely disappointed in the o-line for the 2nd half of this year. Cant help but think the players tuned out the coaches after the loss to Bama. Wouldn't you tune out your boss if his suggestions/methods for improvement fail time after time after time??

I would love to see what another high-profile coach would have been able to do with this team...Whether you blame our failures this year on the coaches, players, fans leaving the stadium early or some combinations of the three, its obvious that things need to change if LSU want to remain an upper tier SEC team.
