1. We are running an offense that is not compatible with the Offensive Line talent

2. RBs are just not good. No one on this roster at the RB position is a starting caliber RB. They are complimentary backs.

3. The 3-4 is not working out. Aranda is the only thing working well for LSU at this point, so I’ll lay off here. We do not have the defensive line talent to run a 3-4 base in the SEC. they show flashes, but that’s it. Miss St, Auburn, Florida, Alabama.. somehow they do.. which leads me to my next point

4. Recruiting. For years we have been fooled by recruiting rankings and classes with (6) DBs in the upper 4* and 5* ranking. Combo that is with (2-3) 4* or 5* RBs, and your class is inflated by 2 positions. The offensive line and defensive line has been a joke.

Who’s been responsible for that? Who’s been the defensive line coach for 2 years prior to Miles getting canned? Who was the recruiting coordinator?

LSU either needs to change their recruiting philosophy, or change their scheme that can properly hide their deficiencies. Miss st can. Arkansas has in the past.

Rant over

We’ve only beaten one good team all year.

What exactly are you expecting out of a DL in that scheme?

Our RB's are better than you're giving credit. If we had an o-line they'd look even better. I can't disagree with your other points at all. Offense is a shite-show vs good defenses.

Now is when O starts cheating and we really dig a hole for ourselves.

To create a push that can spring a pass rusher through a gap? They are getting handled 1 on 1.

LSU fans invest way too much emotion into the Bama game.

1. Alleva should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town. (If not publically executed)

2. O should be fired at the end of the season.

3. E and half the offensive staff should be placed in a nursing home.

for your information O was only the recruiting coordinator for a short period of time AND our DLine was one of the worst in the SEC when he arrived.

Orgeron has greatly improved the talent and coaching at DL and is continuing to do so. our DL played good enough to win last night.

now OL recruiting is a complete different story. it looks to me that O is making progress in the recruiting there but OL is not a position that can be drastically elevated overnight. MOST Olinemen that a couple of years to develop; yes, you can hide one freshman on the line but not often.

BS

The only time they got any real pressure on Tua was when they sent more at him than Alabama had blocking them

With White in the game, the defensive line is the weakest unit on the team

Agree with everything except the point about the RB’s. They may not be All-SEC caliber but Bossette and Clyde could play for a lot of teams in this league.

Most on here can’t handle the truth. They make excuses to avoid the truth.

The truth is we got beat by the best team in college football and that team has beaten us 8 straight times because they been better than us those many times. That’s the truth!

Here's a fun one.

In the last 8 quarters of LSU vs Bama in Tiger Stadium, the score is 39-0. Ouch!

Last season

Last season

I could have worded it better, but I figured it was an obvious point

Last season, LSU only had 1 win against an SEC steam that retained their HC
