It’s not that the defense was bad Saturday but it feels like anytime we grab momentum…

Baker goes soft.

Ole Miss and Bama. We get momentum only to go soft.

It’s frustrating because if we could have held the momentum it completely changes the situation.


That being said, we still need a running game.

D was bad on a couple of drives.

Sam was bad on 2 or 3 throws.

The red zone trips were bad too. There were enough bads to lose this game

We needed a clean game to win and did not get it. Just a poorly played and inefficient game. 457 yards of offense is usually good for 5 TDs and a field goal. We got 13 points. A lot of work for nothing. However it is worth mentioning the bama blue chip index is around 90 and we are around 70..
Lane doesn't have the talent we think he has. What's also disturbing is the number of top 25 and top 100 players in La we are whiffing on.. Royal Simien, Havens, Forstall. This doesn't feel like Miles and O recruiting.

What’s even more baffling about this is lane said in his opening press conference the elite talent pool in LA is part of why he wanted to come here but we’re Getting outbidded for elite LA guys. We know this program absolutely has the money to win a recruitment like royal how the hell do you let Jon sumrall stuff you in a locker for the no.1 wr in the country that’s in your backyard ? Idc how folks slice it whiffing on royal was inexcusable that’s the type of recruit that can win you a natty.

Situational defense, Redzone defense, and assignment.

Royal alone isn’t winning anyone a natty if the OL and QB talent isn’t there.

Yep the game really hinged on just a few plays and bama while not Saban level still has talent.

Baker has a big problem giving up scores when we give him a late lead.

I get we are missing on a lot of LA guys, but we do have like the second highest rated recruiting class based on per player committed. Lots of high level talent committed in a small class, like last year.

What is baffling about that? If it’s about bidding it doesn’t matter if the guy is from Louisiana or Alaska.

I agree but wouldn’t call it going soft. They go too hard without getting home. Blitzing all night and allowing that qb to just slide and find is the unacceptable part
