the team was disciplined, didn’t commit stupid penalties all night, didn’t have constant confusion on the field and blown assignments. Guys weren’t bobbling snaps, having kicks blocked, etc

This. Everything was crisp, confident, and like they knew that they knew what they were doing.

Kelly deserves credit. So does Blake Baker. Team looked ready to play from the opening kick off.

I’m still mildly concerned with special teams, but I’m optimistic that we are a playoff team this year.

am concerned about Sloan’s playcalling



I have seen this comment quite a few times today.

I think that Sloan is going to call much more vanilla games when he has a legit defense playing for LSU. I do not think he will go Bum Phillips and sit on every 3 point lead LSU has this season, but he will call games very differently from the last few years.

Would LOVE if Sloan can add 2 plays to our playbook:

1. Counter - take Durham’s cutback on the opening drive & make that a play

2. Reverse with Zavion - Literally take FSU’s play they ran for a TD vs Bama. 0 could take that to the house.

He still refused to take the points on fourth down. Same story different year


Because he has PTSD from having to score 5 TDs to have a shot at winning!

That game was one mistake away from being tied annd a loss in overtime. And never should’ve been anywhere close to that.

That's a problem.

So nice to avoid the headscratching coverage busts like we’ve seen so often the last few years. And to have players not afraid to tackle

They wore 1-0 shirts ffs. Absolutely called their shot and backed it up. 1000% credit given.

We’ve finally got dogs on defense. Now the offense can just be itself and we can contend.
