that we allowed ole miss to score that many points and move the ball on us that well

Its one thing if they were actually good but this is a team that was dominated by Tenn and yet they manage to score that many on us, what happened?

Spread offense with a good QB. Doug Moreau said during the game call Ole Miss scared him more than R Kansas. We looked like crap defensively.

masoli played a good game. looked a lot better than vs tenn. you could blame the concussion or whatever for tenn but he looked like a different qb

plus quite a lot of missed tackles

Missed tackles all game. Masoli made some pretty good throws. And on Ole Miss' last TD, their receiver got inexplicably open... they never really showed how that happened on a replay, since they were harping on the celebration penalty.

I'd say they pretty much kept us off balance all night...leading to big chunks of yardage on plays. Looked like Nutt watched the film of our game vs. Auburn about 500 times

Chavis has bad problems coming up with the proper scheme to stop a certain type of offense, although some people seem stubbornly unable to accept this. To them it will always be "missed tackles" and "the players didn't execute" no matter what.

Granted, we have a very bad D-line at stopping the run based on physical attributes, but Chavis has not been able to come up with a scheme to work around this. LSU should not be the 10th-worst team in the SEC on defense in terms of yards per carry allowed.

chavis called a terrible game. again. he was blitzing in all the wrong situations, and not blitzing on 3rd and 15.

the other 50% goes to our secondary. but we're young. we can't play lights out all the time with that youth.

1. Missed tackles all day long

2. We have problems with running QBs

3. Botched coverage assignments

4. Couple of big bogus calls

5. Crazy Houston Nutt

Similar to the story against Auburn. Chavis called a very timid and watch and react defense, and our players struggled with it by missing tackles and losing contain.

IMO, Chavis just has to let this defense play its game and let the defense dictate the opposing team's offense.

It happened in the Bama game too. We shut them down when we let our defense dictate the game. Once we got the lead and sat back, they drove down the field on us with little resistance.

That is my major issue with him. He's a great coordinator, but just has to trust his players instead of coaching afraid.

I think CLM spelled it out going into the half: the guys in defense where getting thrown off by the schemes and being too aggressive when they should've been staying home.

Ole Piss had plays where Bolden and Masoli had holes big enough through an 18 wheeler could be backed. Our guys just got induced into over pursuit or premature attacks. Those frickers used the Chief's aggression against him.
