Tackling is not a hard thing to learn. If LSU has really buckled down on it and practiced during the bye week, then we should see significant improvement against Utah State.

Last game before tGauntlet. Lets roll

Hopefully Aranda is earning his money. Plenty of time to gameplan and plenty of rest for the players. Should shut down Utah State.

You’ll have to wait until Florida comes to town.

I'm really interested to see how we cover the slot or, just generally, with our nickle...and if it means sliding Fulton inside, how his replacement does.

itll be funny watching you melt about aranda if they give up some yards and touchdowns however.

Utah State will score.

Lets go ahead and get that out of the way. They are better than Vandy.

No its not and these guys most likely "learned" how to tackle in middle school. Its also instinct. It comes down to WANTING to tackle and hit someone.

How do you teach or get better at tackling without tackling?

Bye weeks are a good time to work on fundamentals. Like tackling.

Hopefully we come out the other side ready to roll.

These are college football players. Most have been playing football since grade school. They know how to tackle. They just prefer to go for stripping the ball and hopefully getting a turnover rather than wrapping up and tackling. They need to be yanked from the game when they pull that crap. That might improve their tackling ability when they get reinserted into the game.

I have a feeling Utah State will score a Touchdown on it’s first possession in less than 7 total plays.

Really looking forward to seeing what Baskerville can do on defense. Physically he looks in better shape, and he was looking phenomenal on special teams against Vandy. I was worried after seeing his performance against A&M last year, he looked lost. But I think he’s a play maker, and I’m glad to see him getting better.

I think it was Booger that did a breakdown on our D and it was mostly about being out of position more than some missed tackles. Playing wrong gaps and losing containment were his big takeaways.

Maybe. I speculate that Orgeron has told the defense he would remove body pRts from players if they let that happen.

I think the LSU Defense is going to come out on a mission to prove a point. I project a huge day from the Tigers' defense. This is going to be a statement game for them.

Why? Aranda has become passive....move Delpit just off the line of scrimmage where he can MAKE PLAYS, not 20 yds downfield as a single safety. Get out of that soft zone bs!!!!

THIS. At this stage, tackling is a matter of effort and commitment. They didn't learn shite about tackling in the last 2 weeks. Hopefully, what a few player learned since the Vandy game are the consequences of not giving the proper effort.

Sometimes you just have to get back to the basics. Hearing on the radio today that the defensive players went through like 126 tackling drills and that should help. It’s not just about tackling, it’s also about breaking down, wrapping up, etc. Some of you guys underestimate how quickly you can get into bad habits even though you’v been doing something for many years. They are human.
