We missed 21 tackles Saturday night. Previous high this season was 12.

At least according to Hester. I think 19 was the original number, but was corrected after reviewing the film. Speaking of which, he said it wasn’t an effort thing or a toughness thing—he said we weren’t getting pushed around as much as we thought in real time.
Said it was more being unsound in our gap integrity. For both the DL and LBs. Were there for the tackles, but the missed assignments put us in awkward positions, over pursuing, and poor technique, which led to the missed tackles. Like we weren’t in a position to break down and take on their blockers and Achane straight up, we were more reaching off balance and couldn’t finish. Said it was strange that a unit that well coached all year that had been so disciplined did that in the last game of the year. Jokingly, but serious, said it may have actually been because of Jimbo’s antiquated offense. We just hadn’t seen much old-school 22 personnel all year and weren’t able to handle it.
Not excusing it, just giving a potential explanation that might not have been due to lack of effort or being worn down and being physically dominated straight up. We were physically dominated, but it may have been mainly due to just being out of position most of the night. So a sliver of hope that that can be corrected and not just “if A&M was able to just play straight up and dominate our defense, we’ve got no chance if Georgia does the same thing with better players.”

Achane is fast as shite and slippery as an eel. And he was finally healthy for a game...

Too bad Jimbo didn't suspend Moose Mohammad for wearing sleeves in our game.
The sad truth is that A&M got a lot of bad breaks this year and could have easily won 3 of the games they lost in the SEC. Their talent was not that of a 4-7 (1-6 SEC) but more of a 7-4 (3-3 SEC). Catch them on a good night and they can do what they did.

They put everything together finally for 1 game and we unfortunately just didnt show up to play and this was the result.
Posted on 12/1/22 at 8:30 am to Hot Carl
At least 15 of them were on #6.

And as far as missed tackles go, PFF charted us with 20 missed tackles on defense, definitely the high on the season by a good margin.
We played 16 different defensive players this game (which is really low); 14/16 of them missed at least 1 tackle. The 2 guys who didnt were West Weeks who played just 5 snaps and Sai'vion Jones who played 23 snaps.
No 1 player missed more than 2 tackles, either. So it really was a group effort there not tackling.

It's funny how some people need a film breakdown to see the obvious. I have read so many headlines or titles to threads about Jimbo Fisher's "masterful" game plan, and other hyperbolic terms, and yet it was quite apparent to me that LSU simply did not tackle.
Josh Pate, in his usual sanctimonious tone, acted as if Jimbo had proven all of his critics wrong about his archaic offense, by saying "it looked pretty modern against LSU"... Or something to that effect. And I just had to roll my eyes. They handed the ball to Achane 38 times... is that really modern? No, it's not. But since LSU proved to be incapable of tackling for virtually the entire game, there wasn't anything else for Jimbo to decide, but to just keep handing it off.
It's not complicated what happened.

The team wasn't prepared, they overlooked A&M
That's the bottom line

A few people have mentioned it, but not enough stock has been put into it IMO. But this defense HAS to be worn down, and I think it showed Saturday. The lack of depth/shortage of numbers eventually catches up to you.
I think our guys were motivated. I think they were ready to play. I just feel like they looked tired and a step slow. I hope they find an extra burst of energy for Saturday--but I am afraid that it may not be physically possible.

What did he have to say about the QB performance?

I watched and graded film for 3 days. I will publish my break down with images tomorrow and will link from this forum. I will summarize the results below:
WE LOST THE GAME.

Still can't believe so many were putting this loss on the offense. They deserve some blame but the majority is definitely on how bad the defense was

it was terrible technique.
catching tackles and blockers, why there was so many yards after contact.
Im still worried about a good line and RB running right at LSU.

21? In real time, it seemed like twice that.
Plus, when we did tackle we were getting pushed back A LOT. On the flip side, I remember a bunch of plays where our ballcarriers and receivers got hit HARD and went down immediately.
LSU just wasn't into that game mentally or emotionally. Why that is, I can't say.

Can you break that down for me a little more?

Might explain why true freshman Perkins spent more time than usual watching from the sidelines.
