How can Arkansas, clearly the worst team in the SEC for several years now, beat MSU with a first year head coach and an entirely new coaching staff? Entering into Saturday's game, it should also be noted the Razorbacks had not won a conference game in two years and sports a roster filled with nothing but two and three stars!

The answer is easy: Use the same formula that PAC-12 teams have been using for years to beat Leach - 3 down lineman, drop 8 in coverage! What did Arkansas do? Exactly that and won the game.

If Pelini doesn't learn to adjust his defense to the offense they are facing, there will be many more MSU nights for LSU fans. You can't use the excuse that we have a young defense, because so did Arkansas and they made it work for them. Against a running team, the 4-3 will be more successful, but most SEC teams are all about spreading it out which spells disaster for Pelini's defense.

Please don't use Vandy to defend Pelini because they can't pass or run the football! The reality is we travel to Gainesville in two weeks and if Pelini doesn't change his defensive scheme, Florida is going to embarrass LSU much worse than MSU.

I really hate when coaches become hard headed and refuse to make adjustments.

Bro. it has been discussed repeatedly.

1) Sting out with ZERO time to practice guys switching roles.
2) Ward had almost no practice time because surgery.
3) Evans only at LSU 2 weeks.
4) Ricks a true freshman
5) Air raid requires constant nickel/dime.
6) Zone takes a lot longer to learn than man.

If we played zone, it would have been worse, not better. If Sting wasn't out, we win that game. Quit being a whiny bitch with your Chicken Little crap.

The Miss State loss was a wake up call.

They’re already focusing on getting better this has more to do with fans ego.

Because that’s the story of Mike Leach’s career. He looks like he’s coaching the patriots one weekend and the bad news bears the next. Trying to figure Leach or his team out is not a battle you’re going to win, and using his team as a way to figure out whether we’re good or not is pointless

Stop trying to transitive property everything and focus on LSU. Looked like the 2nd best team in the west yesterday and there’s still a lot of football left. Have some faith.

Maybe Arkansas isn’t so bad? UGA had problems with Arkansas

If only all future games played out based upon how teams performed in the opening game.

It's probably overly optimistic, but we're still not eliminated from the playoffs with a week 1 loss

These guys will keep focusing on improving and we'll take each challenge as it comes

Pelini shite the bed against State. I don't see how anyone can argue that. They ran the same number of plays against Arkansas and had 300 less yards. The reason was that Arkansas ran zone just like every other successful defense vs. the Air Raid and kept the receivers in front of them. It should have been our game plan all along whether or not Stingley was out.

With that said the defense looked much better against Vandy. Granted it was Vandy but hopefully they will improve from week to week moving forward.

The Mississippi lost was their wake up call. See what they did to Vandy.

I just made some calls. Expect a call tomorrow, LSU plans on replacing Pelini with you. It will all go down before noon tomorrow.

Transitive property does not work in football or any sports. Transitive property does not work in sports. Transitive property does not work in sports.

How many times does this need to be repeated every year before people stop being this stupid. Teams have different strengths and weaknesses. There are also many different factors that go into every game. If we knew the outcome of everything and every team against each other based on how they performed against similar teams then we wouldn't even need to watch the game now would we?

Please just f****** stop it

If LSU runs the table no one will remember the state loss. Media will just say no Stingley so whatever
