Agreed. It's short-term/selective memory.

When you have 8-9 new starters on a defense, who in their right mind thinks they would improve or stay the course?

Well, that was kinda our situation in 2011, and that was where most people had optimism for this 2013 defense.

I know that, but no one ever blames players. There's a difference between coaching and play calling. The last few years, everyone loved Chavis (for the most part). Now, I guess this year, since the guys they have in there suck, he's a terrible coach.


I can't speak for everyone, but I want Chavis calling the plays until the final defensive stand for the go-ahead score. Last night was nearly identical to last years Clemson and Bama. I know Jalen slipped last year versus Bama, but we were still going with that bend don't break crap that is proven to break with LSU.

With that said, I don't think our D could get to Murray if they blitz so I really don't know what to call this year.

There is an upside to the game in my opinion. Even with all the blown coverages, muffed punt deep in LSU territory, inability to run the ball in the first half, couple dumb penalties deep in LSU territory and Chavis' soft coverage on the game winning drive; LSU only loss by 3 on the road against a quality opponent.
