Per LSUSports.net: STARKVILLE, Miss. -- On a steamy evening at Davis Wade Stadium, self-inflicted wounds and Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald were too much for LSU Football to overcome in the SEC opener.

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.

Box Score

Up Next: LSU returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 23, vs. Syracuse (2-1) in Tiger Stadium.

Is there ANY way Les Miles would come back? I tried calling him earlier, but he didn't answer.

LSU doesn't need Les GD Miles. But it also appears they don't need coach O either.

Apparently, we do need Coach Miles. Welcome to mediocrity

Oregon proved that he is totally over his head and needs to go back to coaching high school.

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.

State ain't good...we stink. When we fired miles, I asked who are you going to get to replace an 80% win coach that you fired? Answer: a 50% coach.

Well State is good but LSU was not prepared to play. They were confused and it all snowballed. LSU is extremely young and they showed it. The coaching staff was lost. The gameplan stunk. Matt Canada, welcome to the SEC.

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.

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

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!

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!

Relax people! no one every expected Coach O to when every game throughout his tenure. If that's what you believe, then your living in a fairy tale. If we finish the season without another loss, as well as a win against the guy in Tuscaloosa, do you really think they can keep us out of the playoffs? R-E-L-A-X!!!!!!

Playoffs? Playoffs? Are you kidding? Playoffs? We'll be lucky to win another game! Sorry, I couldn't resist the classic Jim Mora rant!

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.

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

But he talks like us............... 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!?!
