Here is my point...

Wisconsin, we came out and totally dominated in the first half only to win in the second half.

if the players had been prepared, we should have played as well in the first half as in the second.
..obviously, the talent was there enough for us to win

Miss St scored 31 of the 34 in the first 3 quarters

now comes Auburn..
in the 3rd quarter, we held them to 3 pts and 7 pts in the 4th..
so, once again, we did not show up in the first half...we were able to play w/ the no. 2 team in the country....yes, they scored 10 and we scored 0 in the second half..but that's not where we were humiliated

but it seems that are coaches are not preparing players to go into this games...it's like the coaches are so arrogant that they feel that they "can pull it out", rather than work and prepare for each opponent and the respective matchups.

Wisconsin, Miss St and Auburn came prepared FOR LSU, not just to play their style of football, but TO PLAY LSU SPECIFICALLY

FWIW

our qb went 3/14. end of story. will never win like that.


here is something for you as well.

quote:

Fowler said the practices leading up to the game told the story as Alabama wasn’t as sharp as it needed to be going into a game against a tough Ole Miss team. And Fowler said the lackadaisical practices aren’t uncharacteristic, because "it happens in practice all the time."

Thought we actually played pretty well the first quarter and a half against Auburn, we just could not execute a pass play due to a true frosh qb.

We were half-way decent qb play from being able to drive the ball on Auburn. We were getting 7-8 yards a pop nearly every first down running the ball.

On defense, we stoned them on first down. Auburn executed a well defended long pass play and a double-reverse trick pass to get up 17-0. It snowballed from there and at 24-7 we lost focus.

Guys, we are young.

I fully agree - again, too much talent on the team to have been beaten in such a way.

Sometimes seems complacent, unmotivated - coaches, team.

Malzahn let off the gas in the second half and started burning clock. Also some players that screwed up in first half did not return in second half

LSU has NO Leadership or Confidence this season thus far.

For whatever reason we have become a counter puncher when the competition is a quality team.

We have to spread our offense out and speed it up too. Even Bama only scored one offensive TD vs Ole Miss. It's time to combine talent and scheme.

Remember at least for the Auburn game, Malzahn called off the dogs in the 2nd half. There is no doubt about it. , not that Im not applauding our efforts but you could tell that Malzahn and Aubbies could have easily hung 63 on us.

To me it's a sign if poor preparation for the team they are playing then at half it is, "ok they are killing us by doing ______, so we need to try and ________."

good coaching in 1970's formations. add a stubborn coach who wants his legacy to be in the style of Bo Schenbeckler (sp) and you have our problem. The real question is when do the players lose confidence in the system/game plan. Looking back I think the players lost all confidence in the game plan in 2011 NC against bama.
