Tom Herman exploited a weakness. Ehlinger wasn't as accurate down field and it was the play out of the slot position that killed LSU. Nickel and LB play, along with tackling is what needs to be improved. If you go back and look at every pass play that was successful, it was the shorter throws to the slot receiver and some to the RB. I can only recall a couple long pass plays that were completed and each of those LSU had opportunities to defend because of where the ball was thrown.

We need more help in the secondary. Guys like Queen need to stay in the box instead of playing Strong Safety 7 yards deep in Cover 3. A slot corner would help. Hopefully Raydarius Jones can get some time this week. We need another safety like Hampton with some range. I’m not going to single any players out, but some of the guys struggle in coverage in the secondary. I consider Queen a linebacker. Playing on the number 2 WR in zone coverage isn’t his forte.
