LSU’s D shut completely shut down Bama’s short game. Look at Tua’s numbers

Aranda took away what they killed teams with.

418 yards passing should worry the HELL out of everyone!!!!!

We don't play Bama at Bama every week. And we also have a pretty decent QB as well

Tua was 44% on 20+ yard attempts, for the season he’s close to 70%. We had 3 missed chances on deep throws that players messed up on and 1 where we got fooled on the trick play.

1st big play- they run a fake check, cause they saw on film that we check when the offense does and it worked. That’s neither player nor call.

2nd- 1 on 1 Smith vs Stingley with Stingley in great position but he turns to find the ball then turns the wrong way coming back. That’s the players fault.

3rd- the wheel route to Harris, Queen is in perfect starting position but he runs straight at the line of scrimmage taking a horrible angle and can’t recover to make the play. Players fault.

4th- 85 yard TD late, Stingley is in man free bailout coverage with help at both levels to the middle of the field but gets beat outside and deep. Players fault.

Guys if you don’t know what’s going on don’t bash coaches.

we knew they were gonna score points on us regardless coming in, as they would on any defense in the country. our defense balled the frick out yesterday. great game called by aranda aside from the long TD to smith at the end of the game. being in anything other than prevent in that situation is a head scratcher

First off I am not even close to being in the "Fire Aranda!!!" Camp, but you can admit that the defense had errors in the second half without thinking DA needs to be fired.

We should have made adjustments when up 20 that allowed more underneath and protecting against the long bombs. That was the only way the could make it close and we never adjusted from our slant prevention scheme. Yes it killed Tua in the first half and allowed us the ability to have the 20 point lead, but once Alabama adjusted and started looking for openings downfield we should have corrected.

I don't see it as a massive issue but yes I would expect better from a DC the quality of Aranda.

I believe we will see the defense return to form over the next few years as recruiting fills holes in our depth.

I have no loss of faith in our coaching staff.

It's a great day to be a Tiger!

BUT those longs plays were horrible and almost cost us the damn game!!!!!!!!

You just want to shite on Aranda no matter what. If we would have shut down the big plays (which we really did except for a couple times) you would be complaining that Aranda didn't shut down the short passing game and it almost cost us the game.

For whatever reason you just dislike Aranda. So tell us all how Aranda blew it and then explain what the better defensive formation would have been. Besides the one at the end which we all agree was dumb tell us your take on how to better position the defense to stop the TDs that happened.

Now I’m not saying I’m some football guru either but damn I can at least see that everything that bad happens on D isn’t Arandas fault and there is way more good than bad.

Most of the time.

But third and long or 4th and long is his Achilles.

shite man let’s see if I can get it right 85 on the late pass, 32 on the Smith catch 1 on 1 vs Stingley, 64 on the phony check with me and 15 on the Harris TD. I thought the last one was a little longer my bad. That’s 196 on those 4 breakdowns that’s 49 yards per play.
