7 DBs/LBs covering 5 WR on 2-point conversion

Even if they didnt qb sneak, we have our worst player in coverage (Keys) lined up against their best offensive weapon in the TE, with the middle of the field completely open.

So much was bad about that play. Cover 2 man when they’re on the 3 is a strange choice. It could have worked if they’d kept a RB or TE in. Still, cover 2 man there is strange.

The moment they sifted to 5 wide Dottery and the safeties needed to be talking and shifting to a cover 0 with a hard press at the line and the linebackers either mugging or playing straight up against the QB run. Instead, no one talked and they just shifted out with their man.

Really, really bad defense all around.

Just watched it again is slow motion. LSU was outschemed making at least two our players might as well not have been on the field. Dottery did nothing and should have been in the middle of the field. On top of that, both of our DT's slanted their rush to the outside shoulder of the Olinemen, making the hole the biggest I have witnessed from the 2 yd line in football history.
Baker was totally outschemed by a coach that LSU couldn't wait to fire.
LSU has run to 'clever' different plays this year, this game, and scored on both. We run too many ridiculous plays that never have a chance.
Final comment, Ky got every benefit of the doubt the entire game, with the final one being the supposed TO called before the motion penalty, In my opinion, watching the totality of the game, LSU get Sankeyed, just as I suspected we would this year. The non call on the block in the back on 97 by 5 on the punt return was the most blatant non call of them all. Ref was watching it the entire time. Probably the difference in the game winner.

Hell, even I knew he was gonna run the damn ball.

Our while upper deck section yelled draw. Players on the field too stupid to know football.

Blake choker special

This isn't said with the benefit of hindsight. The second UK shifted to that formation it was obvious the QB draw was coming. I even said it to the guy next to me "they are about to run the QB right up the middle". Spreading things out that much on the 2 yard line is a dead giveaway. Yet, LSU's LBs apparently had zero clue it was about to happen.

Players should have been coached better to know to adjust. And this was right after a Kentucky time out, so Baker had time to tell them what to do if they came out in same formula they originally lined up in, or if they split everybody out wide like they did, or did something in between. Had time to go over a few different possibilities.

But it also would have been nice to have another timeout after everybody saw we were not prepared for that. We wasted one or 2 that we didn’t need to earlier on offense.
