Matt Canada's new offense falls flat in debut at LSU spring game

BATON ROUGE, La. -- An LSU offensive coach let out a big sigh as he walked out of the Tigers’ football building Saturday night, then summed up the night by saying, “Boy, that was rough.”

The Tigers’ spring game, that is.

New offensive coordinator Matt Canada might have had his way for much of spring practice, but his Tiger Stadium debut before outside eyeballs fell flat. Among the lowlights: shoddy quarterback play, too many dropped passes and a mediocre performance from the offensive line.

“I think the defense was tired of getting their butts kicked all spring,” Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said late Saturday night.
