Explosiveness. We don’t have it.

Even when we were getting blasted by Alabama, you saw the linesmen explode off the line, and hit somebody even if they were gonna get plowed over.

Now we just start a play, the line kinda goes somewhere, hesitantly, like they’ve never done this before, and we all sit at home or in the stands and laugh.

It’s gotten bad. No fire. No emotion. It’s like watching a company full of people showing up for the paycheck, except they aren’t getting paid.

We’re bad, and we were lucky the Troy score closed up. People seeing the final score think it was an upset. It wasn’t. They were the better team, and we’re lucky, or unlucky, that the score wasn’t lopsided.

Every game looks like 1/09, and with Alleva having to play dad to get the coaches to get along, it won’t get better.

Florida beats us this week, and I think it could be bad.

38-10 Florida in a game that’s never close.

I saw Jesse Palmer at halftime of the game tonight and he said (paraphrasing),"LSU has lost it's identity. You're going to get new coordinators, coaches, etc but never forget who you are. LSU was always a physical team, their defense was the stuff of nightmares for the opposing team. They don't look like that anymore. They fired Miles because his offense was archaic and they couldn't be Bama but this team just looks lost. There's no identity."


Sadly, he's correct.

Hard to be explosive when your line sucks

Though you could be right, Florida looks bad too

Effort.

I don't give two shits about mistakes. What I do give a shite about is effort.
Mistakes are corrected with effort, and effort is a result of pride. Pride in their work, and pride in their school are missing. The ones with their eye on the NFL are mostly overlookong college like overlooking a cupcake on the schedule before a big game.

They CAN be good. They need a WHY.
