Malik Rosiers last 2 games were vs Clemson and Wisky. They did not go well.

If we played them a week later (after Wisconsin), I think your point is 100% valid. But magic shite can happen over an off-season. A lot of time to reivew (and possibly fix) things that had turned sour. Plus, he must be dying to get a chance to redeem himself.

I am not saying his numbers will be any better against us this week --- after all, I expect our defense to be top-notch. But I wouldn't make any bets that he isn't potentially much improved over last season (just like I expect Charles to make a giant leap forward at L-Tackle).

Interesting..

We'll see. Either he has improved or he hasn't. I know one thing, speaking from their perspective, LSU isn't who you want to start off playing if you're lacking confidence in the ball security department.

Won’t be good on Sunday either!!!

I need to see this defense on the field. Only having one senior is actually a little worrying to me, regardless of how talented and deep we are on paper.

I posted this before, but Rosier's 3 worst games from a passer rating perspective were against FSU, Clemson and Wisconsin.

Those 3 pass defenses were also ranked the top 10 in passer rating against last year (the best 3 pass defenses he faced). Our pass defense was #9, for comparison purposes

He ended up clutch in the FSU game, but his defense and special teams are what even allowed that.

Last 2 drives in the FSU game Rosier was: 7 for 11, 118 yards, 2 TDs

The first 11 drives Rosier went: 12 for 33, 36%, 136 yards, 4.1 YPA, 1 TD, 1 INT
