Devin White had quite a few on special teams as well as Fulton. They are definitely fun to watch and kind of display an athletic prowess of the player, but should we worry about a possible shoulder injury if the trend continues as the players begin to tackle more and more clothesline style? My conclusion is they are savages, what's the rant's take?

I would prefer them make good form tackles but on ST things happen quick and you gotta throw an arm out.

I don't think any of these tackles were clothesline on purpose.

Just take a good look at this list of teams we lost to.
Wisky could have and should have been a win.
Auburn same thing really if not closer
Florida we made mistake after mistake and lost in the final seconds.
We lost to bama but by the smallest of margins.
Not making excuses, we obviously lost all these games but when you add to the fact that we now have a new staff, Aranda will be let loose, the guy that helped save our season as OC is still on staff as TEs coach (we almost came away with 1 lose on the season with a patched up staff). I think this new staff puts us well over the hump of 2 or 3 loses a season. LSU has talent all over, time to train them get them prepared the right way and we just might have that championship season!

Should have won? Not really. Sure they "could have" won. But they were outplayed in every area of the game. Just like they "could have" won against Florida and were just stone-cold stuffed in their home stadium.

Wisconsin had more total yards than us (around 100 more).
Wisconsin rushed for more yards than LSU.
Wisconsin passed for more yards than LSU.
Wisconsin had 1/3 more first downs than LSU.
Wisconsin controlled the ball for more than a quarter (13:00 minutes) over LSU.
Both teams had equal amount of turnovers.
One of Wisconsin's interceptions was returned for a touchdown.
Another of Wisconsin's interceptions was in the endzone (meaning Wisconsin was inside LSU's 10 yard line).

They were better at every facet of the game. Their front seven pulverized LSU. While they didn't put up a lot of points, they still rushed for 135 yards and threw for 200 yards. They were better at every aspect of the game.
