I am a LSU fan through and through but last night was horrible!! LSU basically got beat on both sides of the ball. The difference in the game was the Cutera INT TD. LSU was out rushed, and out passed by Washington. LSU allowed 478 total yards, which is completely unacceptable.

I saw no change from last year. I felt like I was watching the Malveto defense. I thought Chevis was supposed to be this awesome master mind. A lot of people want to make fun of Kiffin for hiring his dad....Tenn. gave up 84 total yards.

I understand we won the game, great! But that was a pitiful win. No arguing about it! Defense still unorganized, and still the continual stupid offensive play calling on certain drives. If we play like that against the SEC we'll be lucky to finish what we did last year.

But as of right now, you can go ahead and chalk up a loss to UF, Alabama, and Georgia. I'll get back on later after Ole Miss plays and give you my opinion on them.

This bears repeating about a million times: It was Western Kentucky.

1) UW did not score in the 2nd half until the 5:24 mark of the 4th quarter. True, they missed a field goal, but that was set up by bad pass interference call on Taylor.

2) Every time LSU's offense sputtered, it involved Jefferson NOT throwing the ball to covered receivers. He either took the sack, scrambled for positive yards or threw it away.

3) After UW's field goal, LSU answered with an excellent drive. 60+ yards in 6 or so plays ... Option to KW left, then Lafell for the 1st. Option again to KW for 8 more, then Jefferson stays in the pocket, looks off receiver, then hits Tolliver. KW up the middle to the 5 yard line, then TD pass to Lafell, Jefferson rolling out of the pocket.

Don't know what else you'd want.

This could be true, if you assume there will be zero improvement as the season progresses, which you clearly do. Strange position to take as a "fan".

Tenn. played AT home vs. Western Kentucky. If Chevis was at Tenn this year, I bet the stats would be the same.

What Chavis runs is not that different from what Kiffen runs, a basic cover 2 Tampa. It is a zone defense that depends on a good rush by the DL.

Edit: Caught by the spelling police. I am guilty.

They had more to prove then us and did not have to travel across country to play. They made a great call (the 3rd down screen) early in the game which got their crowd rockin and gave them confidence. We didnt play well but still got the win. Things will be different against the teams you mention, particularly the revenge factor.

what was it about him coming in that made you think this? Did you look at his previous defenses and determine this?

Washington had muscle on that defensive from. What they lacked was speed. Sometimes you have to stop being so damn hard headed and change what you usually do. We needed to be on the edges all night long. Later, the middle would have opened up. KW looked really good last night. Scott looked mediocre. Same with JJ. He should have been throwing after rolling out. He was not effective at all from the pocket. Have to get him in the open. You guys can disagree with me, and thats fine. This is just my two cents on the offense.

Here's a little extra...
Chad Jones has a longggggg way to go. His best hit of the night came three seconds two early and he never got flagged.

Cutrera had one hell of a game. And Riley looked like a beast.

I think we'll be fine in the long run. 1-0 is better than GA and Okie State.

1. Conservative offensive play calling.

2. No effective Deffensive pass rush.

3. Pumped up Washington team.(Cudos to them).

4. Midnight to 1am play had to be a factor.

5. Lockart good QB.

6. 3rd down chavis!!!!!

Good job. I think that's the first time someone has said this in the last 24 hrs.
