re: what do you expect the rest of the season

Agreed.
Bama will likely eat our young oline & Aranda / D will fight yet they'll be worn out by late 3rd if the offense leaves 'em out there all day.
Big question is ATM..
Good talent-- and also, Sumlin is ...

re: What is Derrius’s Future?
Posted by Ball_Bearings on 10/16/17 at 6:38 am
Most of the comments on this thread are unrealistic.
1) it's clear from his family /poverty issues, he's been aiming for pro career to get his Mom to a decent place.
His brother...may be too late for that.
2) Comparing him to Reggie Bush? seriously, Reggie was speedy but Derrius has speed +p...

[quote]again, what is the holdup?[/quote]
I agree. It would seem to say to a top Management/prospect "LSU wants someone who is bold & accountable-- we're tired of wasting time/money."
The action would speak louder than words (firing Alleva) if backed up by the right attitude during interviews,...

UF frosh QB/ Felipe can use his legs & seems to have good skills, altho their receiver corps are (thankfully) knocked out.
Even w/ our D guys returning, I just can't see us stopping their run game if they wear us down with it for 3 hours in the Swamp.

Yes, and the bottom line is still the attitude, the mentality that can't afford Jimbo or Herman or complete a real search--
yet we pay tons $$$ for Orgeron,
rather than a small-buyout.

[quote]$12 million is only .013% of $910 million. When you look at it in those terms, $12 is minuscule. Quite frankly, you can't afford NOT to fire him. If you don't, that value of $910 million will start to drop astronomically. You have to protect your investment.[/quote]
