Remove the Nuss pre-season expectations and the goal line int Saturday

Bonehead play is going to lose your games against good teams. SC is not a good team. They're worse than LSU at everything. Also, it should be concerning defense is starting to pile injuries up. DL got gashed on quite a few runs focusing on Sellers let RBs run free. The DL has several injuries now and it's starting to pile up. Gooden and Butler got hurt which I think they getting MRIs today? Better hope they're not hurt badly we're starting to get thin especially at DE.

If they beat Vandy this weekend TAMU is going to be a battle at home. They're arguably the best looking team right now in SEC week-to-week. They look to keep improving. Lucky for us this one is at home. TAMU made Nuss one of his worst games last year. Their defense is good this year too. In fact, if you look at their defense right now historically teams can't convert 3rd down on them. Their offense looks good with Reed and their WRs, however Moss got hurt I don't know how significant. That will hurt TAMU big if he's out for an extended period.

That's not how it works.

We are staring at at least 2 (more likely 3) more losses.

Yep. Could be 6 more losses. Could be just 1 more loss. No way to know.

THAT’S what’s wrong with CBK. Shouldn’t be wondering if LSU will beat Vandy or the Hilltoppers.

We are closer than many people want to believe(for some reason).

We are as close as Nuss brings us.

Which is 32% really close and 68% zero-chance-and-it’s-even-worse-as-everyone-laughs-at-our-bonehead-turnovers-and-decisions, at the same time.

We're a good enough team to withstand 1 bad decision against pretty much any team in the country if he's gonna also throw for an efficient 250+ and 2 TDs. 2 bad decisions, however, can be enough to cost us games when we play teams more capable on offense.

How was LSU's run game that year?

Very average till JV came along late. He was our best RB. We did not blow teams out.

I know this. I’m simply saying if you want to see some optimism it’s available. We can all just doom and gloom if yall would rather. We get 12 regular season games and year and I don’t want to spend those bitching about everything.

Lester do you really not think we've improved on offense?

I felt significantly better leaving the game on Saturday than I have at any point this season. The Johnson fumble is not something that you can take into account in terms of "offensive failure" imo. That was simply a player fricking up. You can't take that into next week as a weakness. I'm doing a poor job of articulating this but I think you know what I mean.

The first Nuss INT was not nearly as bad as many on here are saying, in my opinion. He tried to make a play on third and long when the alternative was punting. It was a tough, layered throw, that he made while rolling to his left Did he have time to set his feet? Possibly. But I personally didn't view that play as a negative. Also, if Hilton does his job (something he should not have the oppurtunity to do the remainder of the season. That should be Watkins in that role from here on out) then that pass never even has to be thrown and Nuss has 70+ more yards and a TD.

The goal line INT was horrendous. No two ways about it. I could see the safety pre snap, and I knew that's where Nuss wanted to go, so I have no idea what he was looking at. Also, that play shouldn't have been called. Sloan called a MUCH better game Saturday, but there's no excuse to not isolate Trey'Dez anytime you're in the redzone. He is ungaurdable. Him being the read player there is stupid. I don't know why they wouldn't line hm up on the outside and have Parker on the inside and then run that play. That safety wouldn't have been there if they just flipped the alignment.

The running game wasn't perfect, but it was much better. The inside zone was effective. Still, Caden Durham is not seeing holes. I sit in the south endzone. There were multiple times where I'm seeing a visible hole that he would either hit too slowly, or cut away from. I don't understand it.

All in all, I thought there was marked improvement of the offense, even without Aaron Anderson, and Zavion/Barion having minimal impact. The offense we saw Saturday, in my opinion, is very close to one that can (while paired with this defense) get you where you want to be. It's not quite there yet, but it's close.

It could be 100 more losses. A million even. Or maybe it could be a billion wins? Who's to say?

1. Alabama didn't know if they'd beat Vandy; and 2. If you think LSU has a 1% chance to lose to Western Kentucky, you shouldn't be commenting on the sport.

With the exception of the Florida upset, LSU blew out everybody but UGA and Ole Miss. during the regular season.

LSU rushed for over 150 yards in every game but 2 that year, including post season.

Everything in your post is wrong.
