That 3rd and 9 where there was no outside contain and their QB scrambled for the first was awful.

Imagine being this defense giving up a TD & your offense doesn’t respond & turns the ball over on downs so next drive you force a 3 & out to get them the ball back and then they can’t even get a first down.
You can pick & choose any situation to blame

We made multiple big stops
The defense shite the bed in every drive they needed to make a critical stop against Kentucky too. Gave up the lead right before half, then let Kentucky march right down the field at the end of the game to tie it to go to OT, and then went on ahead and told the offense sit back and watch the shite show as they gave up an easy TD and then parted the Red Sea for the UK QB to mosey on in for winning 2 pt conversion. 27 pts should’ve been more than enough to beat that Kentucky team in regulation. Championship caliber defenses don’t shite the bed every time they need to make a critical stop.

Dottery is a good player but this defense is missing whit weeks way more than some would be willing to admit. He kept everyone lined up right. Early on in the bama game there was some head scratching alignments that gave up some big plays. I would have to think that wouldn’t have happened with Whit in the game, just like the 2 point conversion against Kentucky.

I posted the image, the proof is right there. They made 2 critical stops in the 4th quarter & our offense couldn’t close it out.
Sacked Minchey on 3rd & 4 inside the 20. Missed a 42 yd FG
2 plays later, Leavitt fumbles & UK gets the ball on the 13. Defense forces a 3&out and a missed 26yd FG
Our offense still couldn’t close it out & punts on 4th&1

and yet the defense has improved in every metric every year since he got here. crazy.

You are giving the D credit for missed FGs, which is nonsensical.

3rd down stops actually
Posted on 11/9/26 at 4:07 pm to DmitriKaramazov
To be honest. It's the defense and Leavitt. It's more Leavitt than anything, though. He made terrible decisions all game. He cost us the game.

That makes little sense to me. LSU was up three points. Thus, it needed the D to keep KY out of FG range. It actually had two opportunities to do so, and FAILED ON BOTH. The D doesnt get credit for allowing KY into FG range just because the kicker missed on one of the two occassions, which the D did not cause.

Whatever man 
you can have your opinion
The defense’s job is to stop the other team from scoring. They did that twice in the 4th quarter against UK regardless of how you want to interpret it

In your construct, a defense in a tied game with under two minutes left that allows a 98 yard drive (from the opposition 1 to its own 1) earns credit for "a key stop" if the opposing kicker shanks the game winning FG from the one as time expires. That's genuinely nonsensical. Sorry.

Can’t believe you’re still defending this guy by using portions of games to do so. I don’t put Bama on him but he’s been bad in big games and worse in big situations. He's giving up 373 ypg and over 30 ppg in the losses. If it were anybody but Baker you’d say that’s losing football.

I just wonder if Week's was playing how much of a difference this game is especially that one play.
Probably about as much difference as getting Green back
Baker sucks
Posted on 11/9/26 at 4:45 pm to Bodie
In Baker's defense on the big play in the third quarter. He had the right defense. His safety bit and let the receiver run right past him. That's on the safety. I wish they would stop teaching safeties to react to the QB when there is a receiver flying deep past them. If a receiver is going deep, then he's a threat.....especially on your side of the field.

Baker is lucky Kentucky kept missing field goals. They had a chance to score points every single drive in the 4th quarter. Baker wilts under pressure.

Obviously total defense vs Bama was much better than this average (under 300 yards). Also, did hold the score down for a long time in this particular game. I'm not defending him, the scheme or the various collapses (early, middle or late) in the 3 losses.
However, you think the offense coached/played a better game than the defense against Bama?
ETA: Ah - and sorry, you did say you didn't put the Bama loss on him. Fair dinkum, I would hope that all reasonable fans realize that, really all 3 of the losses were team efforts, Bama particularly.
