Let Baker loose and let him call his defense (unlike last week)

Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball (unlike last week)

Hopefully you've coached Leavitt up this week to calm....the...hell...down. (unlike any week so far this season)

Do that and LSU rolls by 2 TD's easy.

Oline needs a big running game and leavitt needs to read properly and pick up wide open recievers this time when scrambling. Is so, LSU WINS.

LSU was the better team last week. Lane did something I never thought he'd do. He looked incredibly overwhelmed/stressed and he allowed that to dictate his coaching style.

Came out slinging the ball instead of running. Told Baker to play crazy conservative defense, etc...

The complete opposite of why this LSU team will be successful.

I fully expect Kiffin to correct this and LSU should absolutely dominate the yell leaders today.

This is an advantage I've yet to see him use.

Use his legs to get out of the pocket, but find someone open because a defender steps up to stop his legs.

CLK just needs to let Baker scheme.

100%

If he did that last week, LSU wins easily.

Lane said the 1st half defensive scheme was at his direction

Because Kiffin said he did.

I was pissed at Baker, but had to retract some....unsavory language and posts once I found out that Kiffin told him to call a conservative game.

He talked about playing soft coverage in the 1st half and keeping everything in front of them.

Which obviously didn't work (24 points).

When they got more aggressive in the 2nd half, you could easily tell how it was a much better gameplan.

Assuming sarcasm, but if not, we will lose if we follow that gameplan.

The only receiver we have that can get any separation at all is out for the next several weeks and Leavitt's deep ball is below average.

Run the ball and scheme up plays that allow Leavitt the option to get into space and handle business himself or it causes defenders to leave receivers wide open.

Deep passing game is the weakest part of this team's offense/personnel

I am curious

Has Kiffin admitted or team admitted to Kiffin dictating play calls?

sad part is if we had any o line anywhere near what we had from 2000 to 2012 we would have a strong run game and the play action passes from SL would be so much easier for him. as the runs open easy PA passing up.
