How could you possibly get this out of his comments? If he thought the team was going to lose he just wouldn't say anything.

I doubt he thinks the team will lose, but he does have press obligations, so he’s say something either way.

I dont know How we change the defense for the better at this point with everyone we are missing

Ben, people are always going to dig WAY too deep into a coach's comments. I know it's difficult, but sometimes it's just best to ignore the dumb things people say.

What narrative did your dad set up when he found out you were from your mom and the mailman.

It will matter for perception going into the office. The narratives for after the game have already been set by the respective extreme ends of the positiger and negatiger.

LSU win:
Positigers-Great win. We Comin
Negatigers- it was a meaningless bowl game against a group of 5 school. Didn't win by enough Ensminger should be replaced. Texas will be the new make or break game for Orgeron.

LSU Loses:
Positigers-UCF is a great team. Game doesn't mean anything. Everything is fine will be in CFP next year.
Negatigers-O should be fired immediately will never win again. Texas is going to beat them by 50.

Missing almost half the defense for various reasons.

Will give us a look into next season

They didn't play in the A&M game either.

I don't think it's possible to change it for the better right now but you can make it respectable. I'm pretty sure that UCFs starting QB is out and being replaced by a freshman. I could be wrong about the freshman part but Aranda should put some pressure on him. They're definitely going to have to shuffle some guys in the secondary.

LSU should win this game even with a patched up defense.

Both groups are completely unreasonable and while what you say is 100% accurate, it's still doesn't affect the future success of LSU one bit. So, as I said, in the grand scheme of things winning or losing is meaningless.

The defense scored as many points as the offense in the 4th quarter.

I cant Imagine the changes on Defense are changes for the better after A&M


Really, how about abandoning the rush-3 on critical passing downs, and let's get after the QB's arse more.

So that should probably bode well for our defense against UCF right?

Particularly when it advances their anti-O narrative. This game wasn’t a gimme even with Greedy, et al.
Orgeron deserves criticism for some of his choices and how pedestrian the offense performed. Yet, he finished 9-3 s a tough schedule.

I agree With you.

UCF is well coached but I dont Think the talent gap is there to abuse our backups like A&M did.

Should be interesting. Idk maybe we see Scott or Cherry We have gotten nothing from the buck LB all season.

Every bowl game looks like a different team. Sometimes that is good and sometimes it’s bad. But it always looks different than the season that just ended.

Couldn't agree more, Ben. It's gonna be interesting to see just how much the LSU players care about this game. You have to think UCF is gonna be fired up as hell.

Depends on what you mean by "bodes well". Are you going to continue to melt if they give up 24+ points? If so, I wouldn't bother watching the game if I were you.
