1) clearly the best LSU game since at least 2019.
2) Jones obviously the best RB on the team...speed, power, and does something Berry nor Durham could do last season...make cuts at the LOS
3) Jordan Ross (TN transfer) has been rated as underperforming in reports I had seen...NOT so fast, friend (Lee Corso motto)
4) DL push up the middle which I complained about the lack of such in 2025. That alone is going to affect running QBs who won't be able to just take off up the middle
5) bevy of very talented WRers
etc, etc, etc

Now my annual - . For God's sake, use twin safeties on punts...one guy up, one guy back. That Clemson punter was HS quality. LSU didn't pay for that this time due to rain-soft field and not being a rugby style punter. My favorite football quote of all time. Frank Broyles to Keith Jackson during a broadcast on rolls on punts "Keith, Keith, you can't let the ball hit the ground." RIP Frank, you were/are 100% right. Oh, and BTW, you take away the "Peter, Peter" calls trying to keep short punts from hitting your own player.

They couldn’t gain a yard or stop us. We had 38 first downs. We weren’t trying to do shite on punt returns dude.

Context matters

My first hope is that we catch the ball better.... But you go with punts then

Dude, it didn't matter in this game, BUT last season for example in every game, LSU would give up about 50 yards during the game in field position due to rolls. I think the equivalent of 5 first downs is a big deal.

If I was remotely close to one of the Thursday night fan deals, that would easily be my ? I'm sure you weren't being sarcastic but someone needs to ask that ? If you don't think that would be a huge improvement in saving about 50 yards of field position in a game due to rolls, they you and I just disagree.

You think we were treating punts in this game the way would in another? That’s the whole point.

At the end of the first half we didn’t even put a guy back there!!! That’ll screw us if we do it in a big spot!

Absolutely! Just watch...LSU will NEVER put back twin safeties in any game this season. Kiffin didn't do it at Ole Miss last year. BTW, NO ONE does that in college football to my knowledge but once again the +s are
1) up back can catch the ball in the air and end long rolls by rugby punters
2) catching the ball in the air removes the ball hitting LSU players running down the field
3) if the punt goes over his head, the deeper returner has a built in blocker
