LSU (2-1, 0-1 SEC), which had two players ejected for targeting in a nine-penalty game, fell to State (3-0, 1-0 SEC), 37-7.

Everyone is ready to drop O and Canada in the fire, and rightfully so. But let's be clear: Aranda's defense, or lack there of, was absolutely abysmal! A total meltdown! This team is a lot younger than I realized! Damn I'm pissed! And the Saints will be skull drug by the Patriots tomorrow! No relief in sight!

Reporter asked coach o about halftime adjustments. He "replied one team one heartbeat ". I knew we was doomed.

Bottom Line: LSU can continue beating un-ranked mediocre teams but has ZERO chance of beating any decent team. Sad.

Now I ask all the "Hire Coach O" fans, have you learned why hiring a d-line coach is not the way to win in the SEC!?!

Tonight a "motivato/d line coach" was out coached by a HEAD COACH! The Coach Oeaux honey moon is over. It's time for a real head coach! This team is undisciplined and lean on coordinators entirely too much!

I wonder if more than 10% of the playbook was used tonight?!

It was mass confusion so how could we tell. We couldn't catch passes, block, tackle, etc.

The only thing LSU did well was get penalized.

This team looked awful! Ill prepared is an understatement. So much much for Coach O and Matt Canada's offense. We was out coached by better coaches who seem to make to take lesser talent and out compete a much more or paper talented team.

Uh. I think the players had a little something to do with it also. Coaches can only do so much. You can't fix stupid!

"Uh. I think the players had a little something to do with it also. Coaches can only do so much. You can't fix stupid!"....but the coaches are responsible for recruiting the players, developing the players, motivating the players, using schemes that maximize the players' skills, etc. Sure, a coach isn't responsible for when a player drops an easy catch, but the coach IS responsible for a 60-minute debacle like this.

This team was beaten in the trenches. LSU is woefully thin on both lines and anyone who says otherwise is kidding himself. We need a major recruitibg effort for OL and DL.

In addition, I have my doubts about this offense but it is hard to say because of the sloppy play all around. Penalties, targeting calls, TDs called back, players out of position, it was sloppy all around. Total meltdown in every aspect.

That team had zero focus for whatever reason. One team, one heartbeat my arse.

I dont like the way they have put up with Arden Key and his bs. Same with Frank Herron. Coddling these players sends the wrong message. Thus team needs to get focused after thst reality check last night.

Embarrassing is the only word for this game. We are the youngest team in all of college football, but that offense was horrible. Maybe jet sweeps and shovel passes caught people off guard 5 years ago but last night it looked very predictable, reminded me of Les Miles.

"We are the youngest team in all of college football"...Link please. And even if it was true, we've had elite recruiting for years, so our young guys should be very good players, ready to step up.

Didn't Jalen Hurts just lead Alabama to the NC game and almost single handedly win that same game... as a true freshman?
