When your DC refuses to make adjustments and is utterly predictable, what do you expect?

Every team that has done that knew what was coming, especially on third downs. LSU under Chavis with the exception of 2011 has been the most predictable blitzing team that I've ever seen. Teams simply know when and where they are coming from.

People will still defend him and ignore his history at Tennessee.

Sadly this is an issue that should have been addressed. Giving up last possession scores has been plaguing this defense since last season. I really don't know what Chavis' scheme is the last 2 minutes, but whatever it is he needs to change it. What he's doing now is quite obviously not working.

Last night we ran into a GREAT Ole Miss team.

Overstatement victim, you are.

That Ole Miss team was unranked, missing 6 defensive starters, with a 1st year coach, and a QB who was not SEC caliber and probably couldn't have even started for Grambling. But keep telling yourself that.



No, not an overstatement, just a fact, based upon the skill and intensity displayed by the Ole Miss team last night. Last night (maybe for the only time this year), Ole Miss was a great SEC team, and we were not.

They came to kick our arse, and it showed through loud and clear. They outplayed us for almost 3 quarters, because they made the plays that a great team makes.

Every team in this conference has the capability of performing as a great team on any given night, and last night we played a great Ole Miss team that clearly outplayed us for most of the game.

Any Tiger fan with just a little historic perspective knows that Ole Miss is capable any year of giving us as tough a game as anybody, even if they have a losing record.

So we have to always be prepared to fight like hell from the intial kickoff. They have frequently played their best game against us, so that should never come as a surprise to any knowledgeable Tiger fan.

That doesn't make them a great team. OM is still a mediocre team.

You can see that CFB is in the midst of a change. The old style of play is on the way out and the Baylor/Oregon/TAMU style of wide open offenses are ruling the day. Get used to 51-48. Coaches will either get on board or find a way to stop it. Sticking to 1970's "real man" football isn't going to get it done any more. Chief and Les are on the downslope of their careers. They appear to be refusing to acknowledge that times are changing.

Adapt and overcome or be swept away. Those are the choices.
