A lot of the things we begged Blake baker to do defensively he did:

He blitzed often

He moved pj woodland to nickel to cover lotzier Brooks, played ja’keem more

Had Benefield spy Russell at times

He matched Pickett on Ryan Williams

He stuffed bama run game.

He got off the field mostly on 3rd down (bama was only 3-11 on 3rd downs )

The defense broke in the 4th due to awful field position that special teams put them and lane’s reckless 4th and 10 gamble but if you hold a good bama offense to under 300 yards of total offense and 27% on 3rd down that should be enough for an offensive genius in lane Kiffin to scheme enough points to win that football game. This loss completely falls on the offense’s shoulders.

i agree with this. the biggest disappointment i had with the defense was the possession right after we took the lead in the third

That’s fair. We finally got the momentum back just for them to march down the field in 2 minutes. Lane went to zone match and bama found a way to get Scott matched on Cooley on their explosive pass play.

I blame:

Shitty play calling
Poor execution
Playing with toys on the sideline while the other team realized there was game going on

Complete inability by Baker’s defenses to force turnovers

They were facing a QB that looked lost against Tennessee and threw 3 INTs against Texas A&M.

Ngl the dunking the ball, showing up with celebrities and cookie blowing the fire extinguisher theatrics look goofy when you go on to lose.

The problem is our quarterback! When we are ahead and not under pressure, he makes great decisions! However, when we are behind, he forces plays which in turn becomes turnovers!

Leavitt, is a great quarterback when he doesn’t feel like he’s under pressure. If anybody tells you otherwise, they are lying! As long as he doesn’t feel like he’s under pressure he makes amazing decisions! When he feels like he’s behind and under pressure he forces plays, which in turn goes to turnovers! That is the issue, Leavitt can’t get out of his own way!

He definitely put some awful stuff on film during that bama game. The amount of times he had a receiver wide open in the middle of the field and would hold to ball to aimlessly scramble was infuriating. The sack he took on the 2nd drive green was wide open way before the pressure got there, the awful pick he threw Eugene was wide open on a checkdown, he had Winnie open in the end zone multiple times too and would force a ball to Harris. His field vision was utterly horrific

Quit bailing that loser out.

Baker blew the game when he gave up a 60 yard pass the play following LSU’s go ahead TD.

Forget about that?

Baker had one bad drive in 3 quarters. What about the Laundry last of awful redzone execution and poor game management by lane Kiffin/the offense ? Baker kept you in the game when the offense repeatedly put them in awful spots

you’re delusional, as is anyone defending that bum at this point.

The offense controlled the ball so the defense was hardly out there and they still managed to give up 31 points.

Blake bent over when it mattered like he always does. In every loss Blake Baker’s defense had a chance to close out the game and they didn’t because he is a bum. Same thing he was under BK.

I hope to God his arse is gone and Aranda is calling the defense next year. Aranda can call a game and scheme up a game plan, Blake Baker is a one trick pony clown whose entire plan falls through if he’s not sacking the QB immediately which almost never happens if the QB has an ounce of running ability.

LSU ran more plays inside Bama’s side of the field than Bama ran all night. This was about lack of execution offensively.

I’ve been critical of baker plenty this year esp after the Kentucky game but you said he gave up 31 while willingly ignoring context. So does it not matter 14 of bama’s 31 points were due to shorts fields that the offense’s miscues put them in? We also easily could’ve gone down 10 plus at half time after Sam’s awful interception but baker kept them out of FG range.

Blake baker actually forced a punt after every failed 4th down attempt outside of the 4th and 10 one. Lane’s reckless management of the game and red zone offense by far costed this team the game much more than the defense. It sounds like you don’t want to give any bland or accountability to lane

Lane coached like a fricking idiot. He had a dozen calls that are near brain dead. But the game was lost when Blake’s defense took the field after LSU took the lead late in the third.

He bent over and gave up an easy TD as he always does.

I could forgive Blake Baker if this were a one time thing but it’s not. It’s a 3 year thing. He got the last a-hole fired, he’ll do the same to the current one if he doesn’t get fired or hired away. He’s been a liability against any team with a pulse for three years.

Dave Aranda can coach circles around Baker and you’re a fool if you think otherwise.
