Blake held OM to its lowest points last year with having a shitty offense. We only ran 56 plays with a .18% 3rd down conversion. Blake is doing just fine.

It’s just different now.

The best two edge rushers he’s had at LSU before and believe the best overall tackle group.

Definitely best LB’s he’s ever had.

Top 4 in secondary also best he’s ever had.

I think A&M OL maybe worse than Ole Piss’… plus it’s A&M first road game.



aTm’s OC Wiggins, Joe Sloan has called way more plays, an it isn’t close.
From my friends at aTm, they wished Elko would have brought in a new OC.
This one could get ugly fast. Looking at aTm film, Baker will pick his spots, and should win this battle!

It matters, but let’s not get carried away that little stadium only holds so many of those pompous arse wannabes.

MSU and USCe have QB's I'm concerned about, too.

The next two games are going to tell us what we have on Defense. The first two games were great, don't get me wrong, but this is where Baker struggles.

Who really has had a ton of success against a mobile QB? It's such a weapon for when plays break down and WR's are covered. It's nearly impossible. You can only mitigate and limit the damage.

With our guys in the middle now, I think we can now get pressure up the middle, which is a bit of kryptonite for running QB's. I think CBB has more tools this season to do that. A lot of times in the past we had Perkins over pursuing or losing contain and not staying in lanes.

I'm interested to see how he handles this now with the our big uglies in the middle, which hopefully these DT's will be able to handle the run.

Yes because defense is not practicing against Nuss.


This is a really good point, and probably way underrated. Last few years the first time they saw a mobile QB was when they saw one in a big game.

They've been doing it in practice all offseason so I hope we are over that hump.
That cannot be overstated. Plus PWill saw it last season as well.

He can finally get pressure with only the front four for the first time. That should help


This plus TJ and Whit being very good in their reads and playing fast.

You will have to control the edge and do not over rush the pocket. Keep him in front of you. Blitz packages all day. Spy him with a LB or a fifth corner. LSU will shut down the run and make him beat us with his arm. I like our secondary and safety's. LSU defense will be the difference in this one. Tigers win. To much D from LSU and they are really conditioned. Get better as the game goes on late.

If Chambliss gets hurt their season is OVER. Probably Lacy as well. Those two players are literally their only hope.

People won't like it but it is a question that needs to be answered. They have been abysmal against these guys at times

And it is on their minds, I have heard Whit mention it multiple times

I’d be watching film from when we dominated Lamar Jackson and Johnny Manziel back when we had tough defenses. Now that we have talent up front it’s possible.
