We lost to a team that is better than us

Right, I believe is just the WAY we underperformed with miscues, special teams snafus, slow starts, struggling Offense, etc. that is a weekly recurring theme is what we are concerned. That said look forward to beating Gators Sat!

You watch that game? This was way more than a loss. This was an arse pounding by Tennessee, while shooting ourselves in the foot.

Watching the team walk down the hill Sat they looked flat as could be. Granted, lots of time to wake up but they didn’t. Came out flat and stayed there.

It’s like they believe this is the best they can do and there’s no coaching them up. CBK needs to quit with the ‘we have to coach better’ BS. What’s he getting paid to do if he’s not at least coaching them well? Is his heart in it? Except for a couple hundred yards of non productive offense there weren’t any bright spots Sat.

Multiple reasons:
1.) Special teams were still atrocious
2.) Running game was still atrocious
3.) Both the running game and passing appeared (I’m not a coach nor an expert so emphasis on appeared) to be extremely predictable and unimaginative
4.) The passing game appeared (see above) to have no easy completions to wr’s built into the offense. I can’t remember a bubble or tunnel screen. UT seemed to run them on early downs routinely and we’re picking up 4-8 yards on either first or second down.
5.) We looked like we didn’t belong

All of this. 6 games in this team seems to be getting worse. Or at least showing minimal improvement (though the defense did improve following the FSU game...only to get shredding again in the last two). The offense was just as ineffective as it has been all season. With seemingly no change in the approach that hasn't been working. LSU was physically dominated. Particularly at the LOS...on both sides of the ball.

That LSU lost to Tennessee was not wholly unexpected. That LSU looked like they didn't belong on the field with them from literally the first play on was not. That's not to say the Tennessee game won't be the watershed moment like the Kentucky game last year that forced LSU to change its approach, resulting in noticeably better play. But all of the concerns/questions that were there coming in to the Tenn. game manifest in a complete arse-kicking.

If Kelly and co. care about THIS season, he is going to have to make some adjustments to his approach for THIS team in order to win a few more games. If not, LSU will slog through the rest of the schedule in hopes this year's failed approach will become better next year with a season of experience.

but I highly, highly doubt that Kelly came here to stick to Daniels for 2 years en route to a shitshow team that gets blown out over and over. It’s just not going to happen

---

You say that, but what has he done to show improvement? Yeah I’m sure Kelly doesn’t want to get blown out either, nobody does. You saying “it’s not going to happen” doesn’t mean anything.

From a previous thread.

The drinking game lives on!

You could make a rant drinking game.

I'll start:

MUH SABAN ULM
MUH SABAN 6-6
other coaches records
$100m or $10m/year so shut up
Completion percentage.

Bc we have looked like absolute shite in every single game vs a P5 team until the second half.


We are not a well coached football team. That's why.

oh so now it matters as to how we win and how we lose

coach kelly was very transparent during the whole spring and summer that this was a rebuilding project, how come not many of yall realize this

Why is everyone freaking out? The number 8 team in the country regularly beats the number 25 team in the country. The sky isn’t falling, relax!

What you meant to say is

“Why is everyone freaking out? It’s year one of a rebuild and that’s going to be ugly sometimes. If this were year 3, then freak out.”
