Everyone expected Aranda to make adjustments at half time and shut Fla down in the 4th

LSU fans had to be in shock to see Fla run the ball repeatedly vs Aranda and LSU's D in the 4th Quarter. LSU's offense and Ensminger don't bear the brunt of this loss, Aranda and his defense do. What happened to Aranda, is still an open question.

Ensminger and the LSU offense gave LSU a chance to win by regaining the lead late in the 4th against a very stingy defense in a tough arena like the Swamp. Aranda has to be pounding his own chest, in anger, along with many on defense, wanting redemption. Aranda doesn't have to look far, Ga will provide that opportunity.

OL played bad as well.

Agree. First time I can recall an Aranda D get out schemed and out physically played. We were not prepared at all for the short side pitch option. We rarely got any push at the line of scrimmage.

Arandas defense, as sub par as it was, gave up 20 points. 6 in the second half.

6 points.

Our offense looked just like it has all year. Period. It is just blah.

huh? our defense has been bend dont break all year, we arent dominant on defense, are even close to dominant.

Numbers dont lie. We have a pretty bad offense and a pretty good defense.

Well Aranda can tell the players all he wants. They need to execute. Saw Thornton and divinity all game let franks pitch the ball. Gotta force franks to keep the ball and force him where there are defenders. Not complicated.

Our pass rush has been nonexistent all year. When a safety leads the team in sacks that’s a problem

have you missed the season? We are not a physical bunch. Our best defender is only stellar in space.

Was impressed in the past with Aranda, when he would adjust and move LSU players around stopping offenses. Fla leaned heavily on the option because Aranda never made the right adjustments, wearing LSU's defense down in the process. LSU's offense and Ensminger did their part, Aranda didn't.

Other than the opening drive, Ensminger’s play calling was terrible. Was I surprised that Aranda didn’t make adjustments? Yes. Neither did Ensminger. Our offense is just as disorganized and conservative as it’s ever been.

Agree, but their offense pulled out all the stops.


We did the same damn thing, over and over. This one is on the coaching staff as a whole.

Correct
Mullens has Aranda number...Mullens knows how to prepare for Aranda defensive schemes

you are one clueless person. Aranda was a little lacking, but no way it's on him. He did good enough. WE HAVE NO PLAYMAKERS on offense. And our wrs kept dropping passes in the clutch.

Our main problem is we have a te/qb coaching running the offense. That's not good enough to compete in the SEC week in and week out when we have modest O talent at best.

Be prepared to be outcoached at least four more times this year: (UGA, MSU, Bama, and aTm).

We had three 3 and outs in a row and the offense would give the ball right back. Our guys were gassed. Offensive line was terrible and the blocking/penalties were a large part in costing us the game.
