I was at game and to rewatch. At the very least it should been 10-9 going to half. If not 9-3 at half. We should have punted on the 57 yard attempt. We really outplayed them. Yes I know it’s a 4 quarter game. We got OUTCOACHED.

Easy to say in hindsight, but the kick was close. The kid probably hits those regularly in practice.

I’m fine with the FGA.

You let him kick 2 more times instead of going for it on 4th down & LSU is most likely up 19-17 in the 4Q

I watched him warm up before the game and he hit everyone he attempted from that distance, in fact each time he split the uprights.

I would have punted there and kicked the FG because it looked like a field position game. Not sure Lane plays for field position though. Still puzzles me why he didn’t go for it against Kentucky.

We were not out coached.

Bamas players out executed our players or our players did not execute when and where it mattered.

This was a players loss more than a coaching loss.

Kiffin did not call a perfect game, objectively.

You're correct that the players did not execute. Many here will blame coaching on poor execution of a few plays. (As if Sabans' players executed flawlessly and had zero busts)

Kiffen has been outcoached twice this year. It's concerning.

He's showing up as a great program builder personnel wise and I like all the stories about the team culture he's building but his glaring weakness so far has been game management.

They out coached us by bringing pressure in the red zone. The main reason we lost is our C and 2 guards got manhandled all day. This caused us to pass 75% of the time and makes any kind of play action or misdirection plays useless because they don’t need to bring extra defenders into the box to stop the run.
Kiffin’s most successful offenses run the ball extremely well in between the tackles we can’t do that this year b/c of out interior line play.

little bit of both, Lane probably went a bit full tilt as frustrations boiled over

I finally went back and re-watched Leavitt's int before the half......man you can't fricking do that. I'm not sure what he even saw, this was after holding onto the balll too long and getting a sack. A totally unnecessary brain fart

I do not trust our punter in that situation at all. Would have been cool with the kick or going for it.

The irony in your post is mindboggling to me.

Most of the time it seems when the Tigers play Bama-when the game is on the line, their players make the key plays when it counts.....

The wheels came off after they couldn't convert the 3rd and 1 and let Williams get the long punt return. The game was very winnable until that point despite all the prior decisions. The inability to consistently run the ball is going to continue to be a problem, especially on the road in Knoxville.

If you don't think this is the case, well there's no help for you....We were outcoached in all three losses.

Offensive red zone play calling is atrocious. Punt/kick/go decisions are deplorable. He's coaching scared, he's out-thinking himself, and he doesn't seem to understand the field position game...

Will it get better? Maybe with more solid O-line play, but the Texas game is a crap shoot. I think we are better than them personel-wise, but this staff has not shown the abilty to win the big one.

You don't outgain a team by 170 but lose by 3 scores and lay that one the players. His decisions led us there.

This is my thing. If he makes that no one says a word. But because he missed it everyone second guesses. I didn't mind the attempt. The only 1 I complained about was passing up the field goal when Eugene and Sam weren't on the same page on 3rd down which led to the drop. I wanted points right there but I also understood going for it right there because touchdowns are so valuable. At some point players have to execute and make a play in big time situations. You cannot always have a perfect game or play call.
