Rush 3, drop 100 guys deep in the end zone, let a non-athletic qb scramble 15 yards for a first down.

Looked exactly like the Ole Miss defense that gave up a td pass right before the half.

FIX IT IN THE BYE WEEK!!!!

It’s a really bad approach we give up far too many first downs

We are literally 3rd in the country in opponents 1st downs per game.

Some of them were on the calls. There were at least 3 where players were in position and just didn’t make the play. Both need to be fixed.

When we get them at 3rd an 4.


Did you just watch us drop everyone to the back of the end zone and let the qb run 15 yards for a first down?

Have you seen us give up big plays with that exact defensive look vs Ole Miss and Kentucky? Because I have.

I agree.

If we are up 28 in the last two minutes against Bama and let their backup scores their second TD of the game after a phantom first down, we should stop the game and fire Baker.

Need Weeks back! Dottery and Keys have weaknesses that cause defensive lapses in my opinion. LB's are the key and they must improve...

Yes. Everytime they rush 3 and drop everyone else it’s a guaranteed big play. Just stop doing that. It does not work.

It is a different thing altogether defending a 4 point lead on the last possession and defending a 4TD lead with ~3 minutes left.

You’re right. I hope you are able to get in touch with him and explain to him how to coach football.

There are no defenses in cfb that don't give up big plays. There are no 2011 lsu defenses anymore.
We have an elite defense and that's without having his green dot all-American.

I'm not speaking of the entire drive (but if you want to review the two minute defenses vs Ole Miss and Kentucky be my guest).

We had our starters in the game on 4th and 16 from the 21 yard line and Auburn's back up qb scrambled for 16.5 yards and a first down with all of our defenders guarding the goal post.

Several of our stops in the 2nd half were rushing 3, fool. This is the QB to do this against because he can’t read a D and can only run against 8 between him and the line to gain. We had 2 sacks with 3 man rushes in the 2nd half

Good God. Reaching for this shite is pathetic. We should have stopped it, but I think their backup QB finally getting some run is playing a little harder than our started trying to get to the fricking plane and the bye week

God damn! That one play was 50% of their total game rushing and we held an SEC team to 270 total offense and 10 pts on the road.

Incidentally, on the 34 yd run play by Brown we rushed 5 and they over ran the QB.
Get your expectations real.
