Detiller - "season opener. Any concerns there" "No question. When you have

Very high praise for Key and White. That said, I tend to agree with the comments about Key. Thought not as much or as often, he was the first true freshman defender since Mathieu to really stand out to me when he was on the field.

You could tell there were many times he had no clue what in the hell he was doing out there. But whatever it was, he was busting his arse to try to do it. With more coaching and experience, that guy could by himself change the entire approach of opposing offenses.

Key is not the "key" to LSU stopping the running game of the teams that have awesome running attacks. and that usually includes Wisconsin but you know who in the SEC i'm talking about.

Saban beats Miles with Miles own gameplan. wear down the front 7 and cram it down their throat. ditto with Arky.

there are two keys to beating those teams...

1) slowing their running attack. and having
enough rotation to stay fresh in the middle
2) our friggin offense scoring some friggin
points and keeping the ball long enough
to rest our D.

if we try the same ole, same ole against Bama, we are doomed to fail (once again). to win the west, we MUST change our tendencies.

I can't help but think the guys will pick up Arranda's D faster because it is action based, not reactive. He calls for his defenders to attack the Offense in a manner that confuses opposing players and dictates how they play the game. Seems easier to learn than a ton of reads where you may need to back off of blitzing and instead drop into coverage in a split second.

This is why we MUST release the Kraken!!!! All 350lbs of Valentine in the middle. There will be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Get him eligible now! Ride for the Kraken!!!!

Yaw yaw is well on his way to fixing that.

bama was 18 for 24 with an 8 yard average on completed passes. It's called a short to intermediate passing game which they perfected throughout the season. Until Miles does this, we'll be watching the playoffs from home.

I know I probably state the obvious, but the key to beating those teams is to have a competent passing game that actually puts fear into the opposition. I think the recruits of the last few classes shows that Miles is at least attempting to find the receiving personnel that can do this. Now, if only Harris can perfect his accuracy.

DeTillier was dead sure that we'd go toe to toe with Alabama in 2013, said it was a toss-up, meanwhile everybody on this board was saying that we lose by three touchdowns, exactly what happened. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

Still have to stop the run.
