re: Brian Kelly isn’t given enough credit for going after JD5 in the portal from ASU

Biggest transfer to LSU since Burrow and the two of them may be the biggest and best in the program history. I remember watching Burrow in 18 and thinking well he’s serviceable and will win and then all of the sudden he’s the best qb in LSU history his second year.

My biggest surprise this year was the improvement of Jayden. After watching him last year and being very hesitant with Middle or deep throws. I’m absolutely stunned that Jayden looks to be the best college qb in the ncaa since Burrow left (I’m talking best qb in all of college, not just LSU).

We are very lucky to have seen two qbs transfer in within the last 5 years and make massive leaps and bounds in their abilities and it should be apparent to all the qbs in college…. Come to LSU and turn into an absolute star.

Jayden would take off early last year and he struggled with his reads. This year he’s looking like a pro out there who wants to throw instead of run (opposite of last year). It could be that LSU has one of the best offensive line units in the country and in the program history.

Also, now that Logan Diggs has cemented his dominance I feel confident with this offense (Jackson also looks like a 5 star talent). This game will come down to if our defense can hold them to field goals or turnovers. The Alabama offense isn’t great and it’s easily below average compared to their recent history…. They have 4 starting qbs in the NFL who were the last starters at Alabama. Milroe isn’t on that level and it appears he will not be a starting qb in the NFL after college.

I can’t remember a spread this small between these teams in recent memory. I wonder if this is the lowest spread for Alabama at home as a favorite, since Saban arrived.

I’m an so excited I will barely be able to sleep tonight.

Just imagine if the defense was top 30 and we had some top tier corners, I believe LSU would win by double digits but that’s not the truth. LSU has had 2 weeks to prepare, Kelly knows Reece and how he thinks. The front 7 should be a top tier group but they haven’t played to their ceiling. Alabama has a weak oline abs if House was able to draw up some good plays the front seven could be the difference in this game. If that front seven can get pressure and be decent at stopping the run we could see s victory.

Here’s to wishing the best!

Shame but yes it’s because he’s fielding the worst lsu defense in decades

this isn’t even the worst defense of THIS decade and this is year 4 of the decade.

2020 was 124th in YPG and 97th jn scoring.

this defense is probably a middle of the road defense that can’t stop good offenses.

Love our o line too!
