I don't doubt he is a capable play caller. He is. But LSU was very passive, and missed a lot of tackles. Some of the credit certainly goes to their offense, but it was a poor game plan by Aranda, IMO. In the first half, they did a lot of bending, but managed not to break, for the most part. They waited till very late in that first half to break out some blitzes, and it was highly effective. But, inexplicably, the staff seemed to learn nothing from that.

In the very few instances where they brought a blitz in the second half, it worked. The secondary held the deep ball in check. They just couldn't cover the intermediate, because Ehlinger had a clean pocket and too much time for his guys to get open.

Yep. Too many missed tackles. It drove me crazy. Texas was more physical on both sides of the ball.

. Agreed. It was a very bad performance all around by the defense. Coaches and players. It was very frustrating and surprising. It is concerning.

Everyone is freaking out about the lack of pressure, but I think they were just trying to keep containment on Ehlinger. The biggest concern was the lack of conditioning, missed tackles and weak tackling attempts.

In fairness, the sips dropped a pass in the end zone.

Herman dictated the style of game. He just didn't have the talent to beat LSU.

Texas has a very good oline. As good as anyone outside of UGA
