it was amazing to see, but the defensive guys looked confident as hell.

sure had a lot of swag going even though they weren't stopping Arkie in the second half. they looked confident as hell. I haven't lost hope in them. they are showing that they could become a good defensive team at some time this year. as newer players are integrated into the system with more and more playing time, cleaning up some mistakes, etc. worst part is the zone. LSU has never had a good zone defense. anyway, there is still raw potential there, imo.

they are still tinkering with who can play at this level....our staff did a horrible job predicting this in the offseason. But they ARE allowed to improve week to week.

Now, this doesnt mean Alabama, Ole Miss, and others arent going to improve in congruence with us. It just means you'll see better football. This is a better team than the one that lined up across from FSU.

Confidence and incompetence often go hand in hand. Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

The biggest tell for when LSU has a shite defense is when players celebrate tackles after giving up first downs

I always know its going to be a long season.

Major Burns play at the goal line was a game saver. Arkansas played a nearly perfect game offensively including 4th down conversion and many 3rd down conversions. Several catches that were contested. Defense had to go against an NFL-ready caliber QB. They will learn from this game and get better. Our blitz package will improve as well. Got to sack the QB! DB’s can only contain receivers for so long…..

I think Jaxson Dart sucks, so this could be the week they make the step forward

Rewatched it and that front 7 was really fun to watch. They should have confidence. Most QB aren’t built like KJ. Give Womack and Jefferson more reps and watch the F out. Really hope secondary can get it together.

Swag is easy, actually. Executing on defense and getting off the field on 3rd down isn't, apparently.

They often seem confused.

Swag has been redefined by the new generation as tackling a guy from behind 15 yds down field and flexing over him...
