Just Finished Watching the Game Again: I Was Wrong

During the game, I was caught up in the emotion and felt like this was not a very good team. I watched the game again and the mistakes that got LSU into a hole are VERY fixable. This is an incredibly talented team and they are very fast. If LSU can fix just a few things, they blow Wisconsin out.
What we say in the late 3rd/early 4th is the real LSU team. The defense is aggressive and the offense is going to be really good.
I was wrong. This is going to be an excellent team once they all get on the same page - which I think will happen sooner rather than later.
I am encouraged.

I agree....first half looked horrible. Second half we looked unstoppable running the ball.

If Wisconsin would've kept running the ball, they would've won

I just got through watching the first few minutes and that spot on the first LSU punt was a joke?

I agree. The screen passes alone could have did some damage if caught. That one that LF dropped-- I swear that dude had open field in front of him.

Too bad Gordon injured his hip on that long run in the 2nd half.

We have the cupcake games to fix those things.

Dumbass. LSU finally stopped the run and Wisconsin kept going 3 and out.

I just rewatched the first half, and it wasn't near as bad as I remember. So, I agree, this team has some issues to address, but if they do, they could be very good come October/November.

We had identical experiences. I just turned off the replay and feel much better. There is still a ton of improvement needed....but I feel much better than i did in NRG Saturday night.

What you saw in the late 3rd/early 4th is Wisconsin playing without three guys: their two best defensive players and Gordon, their best player.

But I like the if game. If Bain and RR would have played we wouldn't have fell behind.

I dont get when people say if they didnt stop running on us....
LSU shut them down after the first possession of the second half. A light switch kicked on and our Run D showed up making ALOT of tackles at the line or behind it!
Wisconsin was getting in the second level of our D in the first half on alot of the running plays. We fixed that at half and hit them early!

If we figure out sooner that they couldn't pass the ball, we win by at least 20.

Nope. LSU shut down the running game and took away the passing game. The defense stepped up and shut Wisconsin down.
The offense asserted itself as well. The only plays where Wisconsin missing those interior guys really mattered were on Hilliard's 3 runs. But, even with them there, LSU executed perfectly and called plays that took advantage of Wisky's Nickel defensive alignments.
LSU is MUCH better than the final score or how it seemed for much of the game - IF they make a few improvements, which iI think they can.

The first half play calling was about as conservative and uncreative as can be and played perfectly into Wisconsin's blitz heavy stack the box defense that LSU has seen year in and year out.
The second half they got into such a hole they had to take the reigns off and spread the ball around and that actually allowed for a really young offense grow up very fast. Diarse and Dural in particular seem like 2 very athletic and explosive players.
I hope the spread adjustments that Cam made become a staple of the offense. Jennings played pretty mistake free. Ran the read option well and moves the pocket and throws on the run very well. He needs to work on reading over the middle and learn how to get the right depth on screen passes. He looked for the bomb way too much but he has a nice zip and has good height on his long passes.
If they go into SEC play with the offense from the 2nd half of Saturday, LSU could have a potent offense again this year.
