re: Missing Robinson hurt..

Jalen Collins has an equal chance to be in the NFL as RR. #9 is a first rounder and thankfully he dropped a couple of passes as well. Yes LSU missed RR. TW and JC had to play the entire game. I don't think I've ever seen only two LSU CBs have to play every snap. I could be wrong, but I didn't see anyone else...maybe Mills slipped down a couple of times. Thank goodness LSU had many more plays and held the ball for 38 minutes.

Damn how did LSU lose?

We must have been watching different games. I thought Collins played impressively, especially considering the player he was defending.

pass defense had almost nothing to do with the outcome of the game. now, prevent D is another story.

Cooper dropped at least 2-3 passes....except for the TD, he didn't hurt us.

I don't care if Deon Sanders circa 1993 was covering Cooper, he's too damn good to not get loose for a few catches. If you would have told the fans and coaches before the game that he would only get 85 yards and 1 TD, everybody would have taken it and been convinced we would win that game. It's just that the offense didn't hold up their end of the bargain.

On the TD play, our supposed top 5 NFL safety prospect ran up and shook his hand before he scored, too. LOL

Cooper's drops were mostly slants that he no doubt had Kwon and Beckwith on his mind.

Once again, Chavis has a defense set up to win championships next year, and we struggle to have a serviceable QB.

Cooper didn't hurt us one bit

When 8 catches for 83 yds & a TD is a bad game for you then you're pretty damn good. Cooper's footwork is phenomenal. He had Collins flat footed & created a lot of space on just slant routes. I'm not high on Collins. He kills me with his transition to pin & locate. Although he did play a good ball on one deep throw. He plays hard & with emotion i give him that. The screen play where he got cut & then made the tackle from his knees was great. You can't teach that.

I liked Mills @ CB. Wish we had another safety to pair with Adams that had better speed & instincts. No slight to Martin. He's capable. Curious to see if Ed Paris will transition to the back.

No, I think they're grooming Paris for the corner spot.

Not having RR didn't lose this game. Bama's 2 minute drill against our prevent defense did.

Our shitty offense is what lost this game. The fact that we had the ball multiple times and couldn't score is what lost this game. Our QB who only completed 8 passes and who can't read a defense to save his life even though it's week 11 and he's been in the system for 3 years is what lost this game. We would've never been in the position we were in at the end if the offense had managed to put just one more score on the board.

No, it didn't. They scored 13 points in regulation.
