That's pretty bad. Too much soft coverage and conservative calling on 3rd down. If we put the right guys in there in the front 7, we should really be better than we have been. We have some talented guys, but the backfield is weak. Losing Greg Brooks didn't help at all.

LSU should just go hyper agressive on defense. Allow them to make plays (which would happen anyway) and just try to force a few mistakes along the way. Offense will need to score 40 to win (and that is doable).

Probably should be lining up #4 over the RT and rushing the QB when it’s 3rd and 16.

Need to be more disciplined. Harold’s penalty, as soft as it was, needs to know that’s gonna get called every time.

Other times were just not finishing. Our guys are there to make the plays but they either miss tackles or the secondary blows their coverage, Zy’s last night was really bad. Idk how you just let your guy go unmarked like that.

Should be dialing up pressure alot more often knowing that our backend can't cover.

I will bet you $100 right now this doesn't happen. I will gladly pay $100 if I am wrong, though.

We have to be patient. Kelly took over a mess that will take at least 6 to 8 years to recruit his way out of.

eta: truly an unprecedented event in LSU football history, maybe in all of college football

The soft zone, the shitty coverage, can't tackle in space, running by the QB...besides that just not enough good players.
