That's because the freshman Tennessee QB held onto the ball every pass play waaaay too long.

It’s wise not to piss him off.

She should. I'm always down for a good crossover event.

We play some very talented teams later in the season, with good offensive lines, and Mobil QBs.

While mobile QBs can certainly be tough to sack or contain, most do get sacked about as much as pocket passers, if not more, bc they often try to run prematurely for extra yardage/first downs, instead of continuing through their progressions and/or dumping off. A lot of times, they get tackled before crossing the line of scrimmage (thus it's a "sack" stat bc he's a qb, even though he was acting more like an RB weaving thru blockers)

The ones that truly are toughest to sack are the lightning quick-release QBs, like Chambliss (with a Brees-like 2.3 second avg. release) who also uses his mobilty to evade pressure & extend a play to continue looking for downfield targets. LSU might only face one or two more similar to that this season, so Umanmielen will have his fair share of sack attempts for the record. Hell, even Chambliss got sacked twice by LSU, one of them by Princewill.

The only game I’m going to make in person this year is the Texas game, how sweet would it be to watch him break that record versus arch Manning if possible

My one knock on him is that he tackles way too high up and has to twist the player down….strong players with good balance will get away from him…

Make that 7.5.

Simmons was just credited with an extra half-sack, in a stat review, overtaking Umanmielen.

Yep if he comes up to the crowd to urinate on us it's going to be bad.

He's good for at least 1 or 2 against McNeese this weekend, depending on his playing time. I think he breaks it


brother is going to get at least 5

He had 5 sacks (combined) in the first two games. That number dropped to 2 (combined) in the last two games. However, Ole Miss and A&M had running threats at QB, so I have to imagine part of the plan for the DEs was to be more cautious with their rush (i.e. not go flying upfield and allow an open lane for the QB to run though).

At the moment, the bottom 4 teams in the league in terms of sacks allowed are:

Tennessee
Auburn
Arkansas
Texas

All four remain on LSU's schedule
