I think a few of our fans really don't appreciate how much benefit LSU got from the weather in that game.
True dat, especially since it only rained on aTm.
I do remember a game, though when it only rained on LSU and PSU beat LSU.
Part of the "listen to the coaches" thing might also be takes to mean "finally understanding what the coaches mean". This is a young team and the speed and complexity of football in the SEC is a far cry from high school. It takes time for most of them to adapt. Finally after all this time, the things the coaches have been teaching is actually making sense and the guys are able to execute quickly instead if trying to figure it out and then make it happen. It's a learning curve.

He was talking about Auburn, but your point still applies.

I hate to hear from sabibites especially Louisiana sabinites!

Against Ole Miss the defense actually did their part,
Ummm, no it did not. OM had over 500 yards of offense in that game. Sorry, but that is not doing their part. It was sickening to watch the Rebels march right down the field in the last couple of minutes to win it.

the upside is maybe these young guys realize that an old guy like the Chief may know more than they do and may really know what he is doing.
If they learn that lesson then next year we are back

Well now that they know that they should listen to their coach, maybe they'll do better from here on out

Ummmm.. I wasn't talking about the A&M game. I was referring to the Auburn game, and when Auburn's entire offense is based on running and LSU was able to stack the box in the rain, it most certainly helped them, not to mention the fact that they were still developing in that offense.
LSU's offense was already hitting on all cylinders by then. It isn't some random chance that Auburn magically got better on offense once the rain stopped. Spread offenses will be hurt by the rain more than power/pro-style offenses will. This isn't a surprise.
LSU's defense against A&M was better because it was a well laid-out scheme and A&M refuses to use their running game outside of Manziel. When your QB leads your team in rushing by more than 1.5x the nearest RB, you have the potential to be shut down with speedy defenses.
LSU was a horrible matchup for A&M and played great. No denying what they did, but realizing that one game doesn't correct all ills is another issue. This is much like the 2 games in 2008 that the defense looked amazing (Bama and Georgia Tech). In both games the teams fit right into what the defense was best at defending or was one dimensional.

This defense has had problems with youth, but people are overvaluing the A&M performance. Simply put, they are one of a few teams LSU's current defense under Chavis will match up well against. Any team with a semblance of a power game or that doesn't rely entirely on one player has shred this defense.
It took Auburn a half to start getting anything going against us and that's because we shut our offense down. For the first half of Alabama, they held their own against the run game. I'm not saying they don't rush well on us, but most of teams run success comes in the second half with UGA as the exception.

Its also blown way out of proportion. This happens a lot when you don't trust the guy next to you to make a play, etc. You "think" you see what is happening and leave your position to attempt to make a play some where else, etc.

Our guys are young and have grown this year. The aTm game will do wonders for their psyche moving forward.
