Also the defensive call on the TD with 5 seconds left in the 2nd quarter was the worst call of the game and probably cost us the game.


Great post and I know you’re trying to be fair to the staff, but this one was just inexcusable. I’m still mad about them defending the only part of the field we should have been begging them to attack.


2nd worst call was later in the game 3rd and goal when we tried some BS again with Landen Collins being a “decoy” and it got stuffed and we had to settle for the FG. I’d you’re going to do that stupid shite then just leave Leavitt in…

Both of those were just stupid ideas before the ball was snapped.

Remember when we brought max pressure exactly once and the 6th year qb threw a pic?

Baker lost that game. You don't have your DBs playing 12 yards off the ball on 2nd and 3. Have some faith in your corners and let twm play.

I am perfectly fine mixing up coverages as I think that’s the best way to play. I’m even fine if you want to be a blitzing type of defense. What I am not fine with is seeing a defensive philosophy for 2 games and then not seeing that same philosophy in game 3! Especially when it clearly worked in games 1-2! I get this team is better but we were treating them like a batting practice pitcher! Just throwing nice and easy zones with 7-10 yard cushions for easy and simple passes to be thrown!I get Chambliss is great and he proved it in the 2nd half when we finally went back to what worked in games 1 and 2. However, it would’ve been nice to see that same defense in the first half as they were scoring at will on us!

It looked like the coverage that cost Raymond his job at Florida.

Baker needs to explain his philosophy. It was poor.

Kiffin addressed on teleconference with media earlier.

Basically said the goal was to make Ole Miss drive the length of field as much of their offensive success was from explosives.

Said it was actually working on 1st and 2nd downs...problem was Chambliss on 3rd downs making tight window/quick release throws. Pointed to his success against Georgia last year when they took a more aggressive approach on defense and got burned. Tipped the cap to Chambliss and said he is an older, mature QB who is in control of the offense no matter what the defense throws at him.

He specifically called out the two throws on 2nd and 3rd drives of games when he fit ball into tight windows on 3rd downs…one was on far sideline over Woodland…the other was on near sideline over Benefield and Pickett.

The throw over Woodland early to the far sideline was a ridiculous throw…not saying defensive scheme overall was great or the right philosophy. On that play in particular though…LSU brought pressure and forced a throw into a coffee can sized window. Chambliss put it there. Good defensive call there but just beat by better execution.

Poor angles by safeties led to two touchdowns in 1st half. Obviously the play right before the half. The other was on Benefield who was in position to make a pick on deep crosser. He ended up playing the man and not the ball and didn’t get either.

We tried to cover him and get pressure with 4. It didn’t work. We blitzed up the middle, it worked. Then we stopped…

Do we have the defensive secondary to play press coverage?

Lane said they were trying to limit explosive plays and make him march down the field. Said Georgia played him more aggressively and it didn’t work.
