Not worried at all. This team has no chance of making the 12 team playoff. As far as I’m concerned, the season is over. I’m not saying I won’t watch any more games, but it won’t be a priority.

Ole miss entered the game as the worse rushing defense in the SEC by a large margin. In the coaches infinite wisdom they decided to run the ball only 38% of the plays. It's coaching, so yes it's a 10 out of 10 on the worry side

It should be a realization that Kelly once again built a team with a glaring weakness (offensive line) that will
Keep us from the playoffs.

I look forward to going 9-3, playing in the Texas bowl then having that little bitch lecture us again about how we're spoiled and he's making a list for whenever they will be good.

Kelly is who he is.

Dude is the absolute best coach ever at pressing the wrong button at the right time.

LSU will go on a run, get fricked up by Bama and then lose vs Oklahoma with the playoffs on the line and then everyone will make excuses and he'll go 8-4 or 9-3 next year and Kelly will yell at us again as they struggle to win against inferior opponents with superior talent

I can understand not being able to run, but Sloan is totally abandoning the run with a RB. I was getting PTSD from seeing handoffs to Thomas/Brown instead of a running back.

For some reason, they don’t trust Berry yet.

He wasn’t in the game early on definite run calls.

Wilson decides who is in when the play is called.

the fact we cannot get in a 3 point stance and drive block a man off the ball HAT on a HAT is disgusting.

this is pop warner type shite.

our zone blocking scheme is dogshit.

We definitely need to simplify run blocking in the bye week.

You are correct.. straight up drive blocking out of the pistol.

I hope the last few drives will wake the staff up to Harlem Berry bc he is the best playmaker on the team. Just needs more touches. That game is completely different if he becomes the focus. It's the bullshite zone read OL blocking scheme that kills me. Why take the simplest aspect of football only to have our playmakers doing wind sprints from sideline to sideline for 3 yards if they're lucky.

That's the thing, our OL is never in a 3 point stance. They sit on their heels and come off the ball like a bunch of pillow fighting sorority girls. That's what is being taught to them by Brad Davis and Brian Kelly.

Maybe but they'll probably do 8-4 or 7-5. LSU will spend some money and we'll have better players than 10 of the other teams and we'll still find a way to lose multiple games we shouldn't.


Kelly will yell at the fans for having expectations after he loses a game to keep us out of the playoffs for his first half a decade. It's our faults for expecting LSU to be able to finish top 12. It's actually Saban, Miles and Orgerons fault. All of them would have made multiple playoffs in their first 5 years.

Kelly is the only one of them who can't even sniff the shite

Yeah, but they'll run it with Thomas or Brown over Berry? I hope not, if so we as LSU fans are fukked. LSU coaches are so inept....

In yesterday's game, up until that last drive Thomas had more carries than Berry.
We only ran 7 times in the first half. Berry had as many carries as Thomas by the end of the 3rd quarter. But we are in agreement that we need to try to run the running backs more.

Here are the running plays in order

Q1
Drive 1

1 Thomas run for 4 yards

Drive 2

2 Johnson run for -1 yard

Q2
Drive 3

3 Thomas run for -2 yards
4 Brown run for 9 yards

Drive 4

5 Thomas run for 4 yards

Drive 5

6 Jackson run for 10 yards

Drive 6

7 Thomas run for 1 yard

Q3
Drive 7

8 Johnson run for 5 yards

Drive 8

9 Berry run for 5 yards
10 Berry run for 3 yards
11 Berry run for no gain
12 Berry run for 1 yard

Drive 8

13 Johnson run for 1 yard

Q4
Drive 8

14 Berry run for -2 yards
15 Johnson run for 6 yards
16 Johnson run for 7 yards
17 Johnson run for no gain
18 Berry run for 9 yards
19 Berry run for 6 yards

I think they are trying to disguise the run issues as much as possible.

The O line is the issue.

I don’t mind Thomas getting touches. He is arguably our best player.
