Gregg Penn is transparent

We didn't think that he was going to come in the game, so him coming in the game caught us off guard. We didn't really know what runs they were going to run. Them doing that opened the game up for them in terms of what they were doing on offense.''
I appreciate his honesty. But is inexcusable for a Coaching staff not to prepare some for Reed.

I would have thought they might have tried to prepare for a&m possibly inserting a Reed package or 2 no matter how Weigman performed, just to change things up a bit

I thought he said they had a good game plan but didn't execute? Were the players unprepared or did the coaches not prepare? Both are coaching issues but one is negligence if they didn't prepare at all.

They did have a good gameplan. It was so good that the other team benched the starter. They just didn't have a gameplan for the backup.

Bakers game plan was so honed in we completely forgot about Reed

We are prepared for that scheme. Other opponents run it. Arkansas does a lot of the same. I can see the first possesion being caught off guard. But after that we should know thos roles and assignments.

they get four two hour practices and a walk through. How much time do you suggest they devote do gameplanning for the backup qb?
It wouldn't have been as bad without the short fields.
I'm still not sure why you can't get your guys together and coach up a fix in game. It's a numbers game. Get more guys crashing the mesh. Make Reed beat you with his arm.

Penn gives his all when he plays. Not the fastest but always high on effort.We'll miss him next year...

I know you can't devote a bunch of prep time to the backup QB. But Weigman hasn't been setting the world on fire and Reed started 3 games. Given the differences in their style of play, there should have been some preparation for him coming in the game.

Thought this all day yesterday when reflecting on the game. Still doesn’t account for the Nuss meltdown.

that quote is more telling about baker than anything. you are the highest paid DC is college football. you cant adjust at all? you dont have a back up plan? you were not prepared at all for the backup QB that had played in multiple games? you saw weigmann struggling and assumed he wouldnt get benched?
just flat out stupid

Here is Marcel Reed's stat lines for every game Weigman has started all year long prior to the LSU game.
Notre Dame (did not play)
McNeese - (Weigman injured with score 35-0) 5/11 passing 71 yards ; 7/43 rushing
Missouri - (entered game in 4th quarter with score 41-7) 0 pass attempts ; 1 rush for -4 yards
Mississippi State (did not play)
the total number of snaps he has taken from a healthy Weigman in a competitive game - ZERO.
no coaching staff anywhere in America is dedicating any significant practice time preparing for a backup that does not play when the starter is healthy.

All of this… if they spent hours preparing for the backup and the starter kills us, imagine the reaction from the rant if the players said they wasted time preparing for a backup.
The short field basically had our backs against the wall every possession and gave us no opportunity to adjust.
With all that being said, it was also puzzling why we didn’t just overcompensate to adjust to stop the read option. It basically got to the point that everyone knew what was about to happen and we still couldn’t stop it. You would think that the defense had a fundamental understanding of how to defend mobile QB’s. It’s not like it’s something they’ve never seen before.

You think many SEC coaches prep for Swann or Collins?

Arky and USCe both used the same stuff
however there is no way LSU can replicate Reed's speed in practice with the scout team offense and it caught the LSU defense off guard

agree with you
wish we would have tried an back up QB when ours starting limping and throwing the ball to the other team

I thought they might start Reed. Not sure how an entire staff would think that it was impossible for him to come in the game at all.

Unfortunately we don't have a legit option at backup QB. Even if we did run Collins or Swann out there, they aren't a different style than Nuss so it wouldn't have messed up A&Ms gameplan.
I also think that benching your starter needs to be reserved for when you are ready to make a permanent change. You don't bench a guy and then throw him out there as starter again the next week. No matter how poorly Nuss played in that second half, he is our guy and therefore should not be benched.

From what Kelly said or hinted at after the game, their "game plan" for Reed was to defend him like they defended the quarterback from Arkansas. Turns out that bold strategy didn't pay off.
