That's the first time I've thought that in a while. Really kind of amazing the turn around Kelly has been able to pull off. The defense was flying to the ball, only really out of position on that one throw to the back. Sure there were some ticky tacky calls on special teams but overall major improvement there also. The offense executed well, I'm personally not a huge fan of some of the scheme/route combinations as I think they ask too much of the quarterback, to scan too much of the field. I think they should just focus the routes on certain area of the field to make it easier to scan through route but that's just me armchair quarterbacking, they were very productive and did have more dump offs and easy passes last night. Also the QB's both have been improving in the system. Overall, this is a fun football team to watch and will be a tough team to beat come mid season if we can shake the injury bug.

Brian Kelly is a historically good coach. He knows how to coach and his bubble gum card proves it. Matt House has been the most pleasant surprise of the new regime. I knew that Kelly would bring a higher degree of technical training and discipline than we've seen since Saban. I did not know House could call games like this. His schemes/in-game adjustments have been Aranda-esque!

Don't forget about Polian, who is apparent a world class ST coach.

For the record, after last night in the new SP+ rankings our special teams are ranked 125th.

Almost had a punt return for td if it weren’t for a bs blindside block call. It’s improving.

I can’t remember the last time we shut anyone out especially missing 4 starters on defense. Idc who it’s against, you always feel good keeping a team off the board.

Also, love seeing the offense being able to see the OL just get nasty inside the 10 and punch the football in.

Bech needs to be the punt returner. He may not be as fast but he has a better feel for it.

Not playing down to an opponent was so fun to watch. I think it says a lot about this team and locker room. Kudos to Kelly and staff.

I still say that blindside block on Bech's punt return was BS. I did not see the penatly on Taylor that got his TD called back.

Yes you could have. And the result would have been similar to LSU-Troy under Orgeron.

Next.

He’s actually doing something that Aranda couldn’t do. He’s getting the defense to perform well in the zone and in man to man. I remember Aranda having fits with the zone defense. I’m also happy with how physical the defense is. They’re playing downhill and hitting hard. Most of the time there are multiple defenders on the play, and even when a guy gets loose, the pursuit is good enough that it’s not taken the distance every time. The effort that’s been missing is there.

Yeah, beating New Mexico doesn’t really mean all that much, but you could definitely tell that they are progressing and the play is much smoother. They didn’t look lost or frantically trying to communicate. The mistakes were ones of execution, which is easier to fix with just repetition.

Last night all the routes were quick and the QB went to designed first reads most of the time. I agree that prior to New Mexico we were asking Jayden to do to much but if he can’t throw quick hitters (he can and he did) than we are screwed this year on offense.

He also plays a lot better when the tempo is fast. The less he has to process, the better he is at just making a decision and just going at it 100%.

Meh. Too many penalties at crucial points on offense. Result was tons of yards and few points in first half. It seemed cleaner in second half. Special teams still need work. Missed field goal and a stupid blindside “block” called on return. I didn’t like the call but Bech was passed that guy and block (good or bad) was not necessary. And a kick-off that was sent OB. Those mistakes need to be eliminated for LSU to compete against best SEC teams
