I’ll be completely frank with you. LSU currently fields a team capable of winning the national title this year. At times players don’t execute and coaches fail to anticipate or adjust during a game. It happens. We’re all human.

In my opinion, Kiffin has not adjusted to his new strengths in playing in Tiger Stadium. He knows it’s a tough place to play as he’s experienced it many times. Against tough opponents, the pressure is always on the opposing to overcome the ability of the crowd to completely take over a game.

Kiffin’s style of going for it on 4th based on analytics doesn’t compute this factor into the game plan. It’s no secret that our crowd gets louder than average when the opponent is near its own end of the field. You are supposed to play to that strength in Tiger Stadium. Kiffin’s style doesn’t take advantage of that strength.

When he adjusts his game calling ability to account for this pressure, he will become an elite coach. I can only hope that day begins this Saturday, his last game in his first season of Tiger Stadium.

Cheers to the amazing run we are about to go on. Geaux Tigers!

No we don’t and that’s okay. Oline play is horrific, QB play is inconsistent, and coaching has been subpar.

I would’ve agreed with you before the Bama game, but that game proved we’re not there yet.

This team has the talent, they just lack the clutch gene.

A bunch of yall are mad because yall actually thought this team was going to win a championship.

It's extremely hard to win a championship.

This team was never going to win one.

That’s yet to be determined.

I’m pretty confident. The score of the Alabama game is not indicative of how close the game was. We easily could have beat Kentucky and Ole Miss just caught us at the right time.

The run starts Saturday. I’ll bump this each week to remind some you how you were wrong, that’s even if you are a fan.

The O-line is awful against good teams.

That the coaching has been injurious has been stunning and unexpected.

Team is not a national title contender solely on both sides of the line. Offensive line play is wildly inconsistent and that’s being nice. Anderson going down has really stalled the DLine out…

Look no further than Alabama last game, they were getting home on 3 and 4 man pressures all game.

He’s lost 1 game to Bama in Tiger Stadium and we think he can’t coach at home????

Sounds like they fall short of national title quality

This is a really bad take my friend. I get that you want to stay optimistic and that’s awesome. We are not winning a NC in football this year.



That’s also very much ok.

Agree totally. I was very concerned at beginning of season that we had not done enough to bolster our woeful O-Line and figured that alone would keep us from a natty. The loss to OM was not a shocker as I knew it would be their Superbowl and would play us tough. Losing to Bama in of itself was not shocking but how badly we lost definitely was. The Kentucky loss is the one that really pisses me off because in no world should we have lost that game. So no, I didn’t expect a Natty this year but I did expect us to at least make a 12 team playoff.

Who is going to tell Lickitty Split that half of LSU’s games are away games? Elite coaching cut right in half. Just damn.
