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


Our offense gave them the ball on the 13 yd line

The sack on 3rd & 4 was clutch, made a 36 yd field goal into a 42 yd FGA which is not automatic

Some of yall just have your mind made up about him which is fine, but you don’t need to discredit the good things he has done too

Bad contain, LBs in the wrong spots. Gross.
This has been a constant without Whit Weeks.

So, why don't WE have another LB on the team that can do what WW can do? (Knows all the Reads/Assignments, can process that information quickly and physically make the plays)


All the other "Athletic" LB's are running around like Harold Perkins clueless.

WE thought Zach Weeks would be a clone of his brother but apparently, he's not. (Or it hasn't kicked in yet)

the team plays well until clutch situations. We're a bunch of front runners. We'll pile up crazy stats against teams with no life, but as soon as we play someone who can punch back we fall apart

Right, the red zone playcalling was horrendous and Kiffin made decisions that cost us the game but Baker gave up 31 points again, at home this time, and some walk in TDs. He was also bad in the red zone again. I’m not one of these people who claims he’s the worst DC on earth but he’s not a championship caliber DC. Maybe one day he will be but he’s far from it right now.

Imagine an offense racking up close to 500 yds of total offense with multiple redzone attempts that ended with zero points. Sprinkle in a some bad Special Teams play and bad 4th down decisions in your territory.


....and you still find a way to blame the DC who held the opposing team 10 point through 2.5 quarters and under 80 yards rushing.

The entire game would be different in the 3rd qt if the offense wouldve cashed in on atleast 10-13 points on those reszone trips.

I know its hard for some of you to blame Kiffin/Weis because they just got here... but goddamn, keep it real. The offensive failed in this game.

I wouldn’t call them missing field goals (short ones at that) as his defense making big stops. We got lucky their kicker shite the bed TWICE!

It’s a 3rd down stop in a game that LSU is leading by 3.

I’ve been told Baker sucks & can’t stop anyone on 3rd down

Baker can’t be counted on in the clutch

3 points in the entire 1st half, and fricking ZERO in the 4th quarter.

The Bama loss ain't on Baker.

Again, subtract the overtime, punt returns, and at least three points each time the offense/special teams gives the other team the ball at our end of the field.

Our offense is the big problem.
