re: Jordy colutta made a damning good point on his show this morning

Everyone screwed this game up. I would put it more on Nuss and the kicker. We gave them 21 points off ints and another 9 on field goals. That's a 30 point spread. And that's if the D plays like crap.

What, no one on our coaching staff ever defended against the read option before?

They're getting paid MULTI millions of dollars to not allow this exact kind of thing to happen in an LSU football game. (Totally unprepared for Reed)

Stop with the “they’re getting paid too much” crap. So if Kelly and staff were only making 1/8 of what they’re currently getting paid, then you’d be ok with all of this?

No, you wouldn’t be. You’d still be on here bitching and making the same stupid comments.

No one on the rant is personally cutting a check each month to pay Brian Kelly and his staff. The University cuts the checks and they are happy to do so because his program generates a shite ton of money for the school. So much so that they are fine paying him and his staff a premium for their services. This only becomes a concern for the University when the program no longer generates enough revenue to support the costs for Kelly and his staff.

It’s simple finance folks. Return on investment. An investment that the University decided to make and an investment that you had zero part in making. So stop bringing it up!

They should have just made either Burns or Atkins depending if they wanted 3 LB or 5 DBs on the field the spy to Reed. This where having Perkins would have really come in handy.

I agree and texted my dad the same when he came in. Even when they had him for a loss, you also have to tackle.

Kelly’s deficiencies at game planning for big games are obvious. All you have to do is look at the last 3 openers.

One change had to be made...that is all
One spy in the middle of the fielld who had one job, tackle Reed on every play, play fake or not, tackle him.
they didn't insert him in the game to pass. If he was their best passer, he would have started the game. He had one skill and that was running the ball. Yes, he threw on bomb that we couldn't stop with two players on the receiver, but overall, he will make more mistakes throwing than he does good throwing.......so spy and tackle the man every dang play.
Now, that wouldn't have taken much to explain , would it?
I told my wife that very thing when he entered the game, and ever she agreed with me. But no.....we are going to keep doing the same thing as if he isn't there....and that is why we lost the game.

Easier said than done.

It’s fricking whack-a-mole-U
______________

We are 6-2 and 3-1 in conference.

They just played against a running qb the week before at Arkansas. Why couldn’t they just do what they did last week against them. Both qb’s were very similar. It’s not like we’ve never seen a running qb before.
