Long takeaways from last night

Matt House deserves so much credit for out-scheming Leach. 2nd half adjustments were what we've always begged for.

Daniels athleticism is unparalleled. He can turn a busted play into a 9 yard gain with his legs and out run corners to the edge. With that said - his lack of pocket presence, poor mechanics and piss poor field vision are going to cost us some games.

Frankly the game shouldn't have been as close as it was but if we're behind the sticks with Jayden we're screwed. Defense was outstanding but turnovers, missed wr's, inaccurate throws kept State in the game. He may be the best option for now but if we don't utilize our WR's more, this team will never reach its full potential.

I hate any scheme that doesn't get Jack Bech more reps. If he's hurt fine, if not then there has to be more 4 and 5 wide concepts. I hate seeing John Emery run routes with Bech on the bench, that's poor use of your talent.


Special teams coordinator has to be fired. I don't care who his dad or grandpa is. Punt returned doesn't know when to leave the ball alone, several kicks almost blocked, kicking the ball out of bounds. Awful, awful coverage on kicks and punts.
He has to go.


Will Campbell just continues to be solid and Emery Jones looks like he should lock down the other tackle spot. One busted block but you could make the argument the Center didn't have the right guys identified. We finally got two young stud tackles and both from Louisiana to boot.


Baskerville is clearly comfortable and he's playing at a different speed than our other LBers right now. He trust himself and it shows.

Harold Perkins is just oozing with athleticism. He's big, strong snd fast. He's aggressive and right now he's the most physically gifted football player that wears LSU colors except for maybe Maason Smith.

Perkins and Baskerville have to be your starters.

Jay Ward is an all-sec level safety right now. I'd make an argument for him vs anyone else in the conference.

BJ's potential has been realized. Speed, great hands and ridiculous bend. Kids a first rounder and will be all conference this season. I think he's the best pass rusher in the SEC not named Will Anderson

Mekhi Wingo may be our best DT. Very, very high motor with violent hands.


the defensive improvements are a breath of fresh air and looks like LSU's defense already with a bunch of transfers.

My biggest complaint by far is special teams. They're a massive liability currently and it shouldn't be. There's too much talent to not be able to field a decent coverage team
