1. Mills got toasted on one play by a good WR and great throw. It happens. I'm still in the Mills camp.

2. Our key to beating A&M last year was that we forced JFF to beat LSU throwing over the top, anything over 10-15 yards we had man coverage. Our DBs did their part, and we kept more folks closer to the line to keep JFF under wraps. I noticed that JFF's lack of accuracy for anything over 10 yards was not going to win them the game. LSU is probably hoping for the same approach this year. That means we absolutely have to find our top 2-3 cover CBs by mid-season. If they are true freshman, so be it. I think the potential is for that to be Mills+Robinson+White. But, let's see how the young guys develop. They will play a lot for this reason alone -- to cue up a win over A&M.

3. As mentioned, we need improvement in the secondary with TACKLING, not just coverage. This cuts way down on huge plays. If Tre White has a nasty streak and arrives at the ball in a bad mood, that is a big plus. See also Micah Eugene. LSU fans have definitely been spoiled with some of the great open field tacklers in the secondary the last 6-8 years. We don't yet have that same level with this team.
