Maybe it's me... maybe not.

IMO, the root cause of what we're seeing as problems comes down to mental focus. Mett fumbling snaps or getting stripped when pressured.
RBs putting the ball on the ground.. since when do LSU RBs put the ball on the ground that much ?
Pre-snap penalties - enough said, that's all focus.
Dropped passes - we make the circus catches but drop the passes in our hands. Again, focus to me.

My only remaining question about this team is what will it take to focus them ?

If a top 10 match-up on the road in the Swamp doesn't do it, I'm afraid that little will get the job done.

I think the players, not CLM, get themselves mentally prepared this week and leave Florida with a win that shuts up a lot of people... please God let me be right.

Hard to disagree here.

maybe we can get the guy to come in who taught the little Giants football is 95% mental and then our OL will be able to block. He turned that fatass kid into a legit OL, so let's give it a shot

I hope the team gets focused and skull drags Florida

You know.. Like last year.

A 42-7 raping would silence a lot of negative Nancy's

I agree 100%

All the HEat mett is getting, he threw for 2 tds and 230+ yards. OUr running backs fumbleing three times is what made that game close. Yeah i know met fumbled to.

I think we get oru gameface on vs florida and put together a complete game.

WEll it's funny how some coaches 2 states east of us don't have many mental focus problems.

Yet some coaches like Miles players have tons of mental focus problems

Good luck with that one.The negativity on here is viral and there will still be folks bitchin about miles if we go 14-0 and win the NC game by 20. Look what happened the last time Les won an NC. Folks were in here bitchin because it meant we would have to keep him for awile.
