Everybody is mad at the offense, but what about the defense?

All we had to do was to tackle their run-only QB (he's no dual-threat). We continually got faked out when he kept the ball over and over again. Blake really shite the bed on this one as it was a simple fix

Blake had absolutely no answer for the QB change. No preparation whatsoever which is not what we're paying his hefty salary for

Was it?

We have a glaring weakness that was exposed and playing D with little rest on short fields gassed them.

I don't understand not preparing for the backup QB. There are many reasons why we lost this game - allowing the backup QB to run rings around us is right up there.

A simple fix to stop a one-dimensional offense is valid. All they could do was run, especially after they inserted the run-only QB. Spy Whit Weeks on the guy or try something. Damn, it was ugly

The game was lost when Turner got angry and the rest of his team went with him.

Maybe you missed the bomb he threw.

If you’re gashing the defense running the ball, why would you do anything else.

2 passes. Both completed. 31 points.

…. Allowing the “new starting qb to run things around…” fixed it for you.

We had no answer to that. Hats off to A&M for the change because we were not prepared for that!

The bomb. One pass. Only one pass. Make him pass over and over and you'll see what a great passing QB he is.

He killed us with his legs, not his passing ability, so stop what he is killing us with

LSU lost 31-6 in the second half. Sounds to me the defense didn't play the second half.

Well the D had to start defending him from the 8 the 50 and the 25 and then again at like the 35

They only had one long drive they gave up.

It’s pretty far down the list of clown show problems here.

Todd might be at the top then our overrated dog poo line and then Nuss and then the D

Nuss threw 3 ints deep in our own half and we had a retard fg unit hand them the ball at the 45.

If you expected the d this year or any year to hold them to nothing with that then that’s a you problem.

They started going back to their "re acting" defense. Just a little hesitation at this level causes what you saw in the 2nd half.

Just like Nussmeier tries to be the hero on offense, some on defense do the same and don't do their job.

And it’s exactly what Bama will run against us in two weeks!

Can't put the defense in bad situations repeatedly on the road

Yea you can’t hand them essentially 3 red zone opportunities and expect the d to just stop them.

LSU 11 might have gotten 2 fg stops there but this ain’t 11
