re: Again, bashing Kiffin is stupid.

After what looked like blowouts in the two losses we were able to come back and take the lead and have a chance to win.
Should we have been in that situation? Probably not. But we have some glaring weaknesses than can be exploited mostly due to injuries.
Two converted TE’s caught TD passes or had big plays, makeshift moves after Green got hurt.
We ran truck plays that got them totally off guard.
I can’t explain why Devin harper didn’t win s starting job- the staff knew him well and he was playing part of the time in their playoff run. That’s is certainly one if our weaknesses.
The staff made halftime adjustments that you would expect a staff to do.
Did they do things I disagree with? Hell yes. I know everything to know about football I am an LSU fan.
This Kentucky coach was recruiting the same players we were, many were down to us and them. They spent a lot of money in the portal on key players. Despite their record they had some good lineman returning on both sides of the ball.
Sloan is familiar with Baker’s defense much like Golding was familiar with Weiss which is unusual to have to combat. I know ole miss had our offensive signsls in the first game until halftime when we adjusted.
All that comes into play.
We have too many injuries and have a dropoff in the replacements.
Baker does things I totally disagree with but its difficult to contain an offense when the OL holds every play and its never called.
