Poor line play on both sides of the ball and lack of physicality. A lot of the other stuff can and probably will get better. Bad line play is a result of bad talent evaluation and lack of dedication in the weight room during the off-season. Neither are going to be fixed until we get some new talent and until the guys we already have dedicate themselves to getting a lot stronger and meaner.

Clemson was just bad. Tech stalemated us up front most of the night and Ole Miss just flat pushed us around. If I was #77 I'd be ashamed of my effort, and the others were even worse. He may look good on paper but he plays soft.

Agreed. Isn’t just about losing the game, it’s the really glaring issues with this team

This was not close to the same Ole Miss team from the first two games.

Biggest issue here is not the loss, most pundits had us losing. The biggest issue by far are the injuries. Trey'Dez, given the relative mediocrity of our WR room, will be a huge loss. Perhaps, given the roster, an unrecoverable loss.

Yeah the loss is whatever. We've seen LSU lose games on the road in the SEC against lesser teams than ole miss. The loss of Trey'Dez is a much bigger problem. I always saw Dae'Quan Wright as an insurance policy more than anything. A redundancy. It's a shame he wasn't allowed to play.

Remember that Kiffin was handed the worst offensive line in the SEC. He’s done a pretty good job given what he started with. The line needs improvement and was indeed pushed around yesterday but to say it’s a talent evaluation and weight room problem seems a stretch. You can’t get much stronger in 6 months and there were only so many guys he could get in the portal.

We loss to the better team. But the reality is they aren’t much better than us.

They won on the back of a 6th year QB, who will likely be in NY for the Heisman ceremony.

We made great adjustments and nearly pulled it off on the road against a top 10 team.

They made the playoffs last year and are predicted to make it again this year.


I’m the hundred years we’ve played ole Miss we’ve beat them far more than they have beat us. Rarely have they been truly better than us. This year they are.

We hired Kiffin because the program needed new life. The program is fine and will flourish under Kiffin (if he stays).

The dude made ole miss relevant. Something no other coach has done in like 60 years.


As for Leavitt. He has to get better. And I think he will Jayden improved as did Burrow.

At the end of the game we had the ball with a chance to tie and and drove all the way down to the 5 yard line. We came up short. That happens.

But show me a qb on our schedule who is as good as Chambliss. Maybe Arch? Though he isn’t nearly as skilled IMO.

No one on the schedule throws as well as Chambliss.

If we win next week against a Texas AM team that lost at home to an unranked Kentucky team, things set up well for us until November.

By November we will know much more about our team.

Championships are not won in September.

Nope. They played hard in that second half. Delivered several hard hits.
It was they dug themselves into a hole and LOST SPEARS. Look at the big plays. Lack of depth on the backend killed on several plays and losing containment.

You probably never heard of Spears being one of the leading tacklers on the team. Otherwise, you would have said differently.

We don't have any WR besides wilson and winnie. #1 and #4 are a giant bust!. They can't catch a cold

I kinda agree, and disagree

If leavit can run the designed plays without panicking and hit wide open throws, LSU has a much better 1st half.......and probably goes on to win.

The plan was simple, contain him and make him throw. And it worked easily. He was scared, overwhelmed, and inaccurate on short easy throws.

He did throw a great ball on the td fade.

He choked in many situations. The offense shuttered because Kiffen was trying to run the offense from the sideline, instead of Leavitt having field control

Sometimes guys like him prove they can play at a high level. He proved he was recruited right where he neededbto be, and not at the top tier of the sport.

The SEC is different and everyone can run. His little waterbug type moves were not a challenge.

He was held in check and simply couldnt throw to some wide open guys

It took the following to happen for Ole Miss to win by one score:

- Start off with a playoff caliber roster that Lane built
- Tigers in year one of a massive rebuild
- File multiple lawsuits to get a ridiculous 6th year of eligibility for a heisman candidate QB
- Home game with the largest emotional crowd support in program history


They won their Super Bowl - hats off to them.
I think we'll be find going forward.
