re: The game against A&M was just bizarre.

Ran out of steam and depth.

I think this was it. Plus Aggie clearly played flawlessly. Miraculous one handed catches and shite.

1. Seeing CBK tear up in the post-game interview after Bama while fans were pouring into the field like we had just won a Natty or something - I was like you know we have half the SEC season to go…. Lost our edge at that movement and never got it back.

2. Y’all maybe did not watch the Arky game. We were beyond terrible on offense. We are a one-trick pony and the book is out on us. Would have lost that game had Arky decided to block #40. A&M decided to block him and everyone else.

We are a 9-3 team, might end up 9-5 which is still a great start for CBK with this roster

Bizarre was watching the defense get run through from the get go.

Depth wins games like that. They had more. We couldn’t stop the run, which means they weren’t going to stop running the ball, which means they were going to

Weren't they down to their 2nd amd 3rd string players on the line?

I was at the A&M game. It was a waste of gas money.

It was a chilly, but not a cold night. There was a brisk breeze blowing that occasionally gusted to around 20 mph.
It had rained all morning, so there was a dampness in the air.
Chilly conditions, but nothing like Arkansas.

Yet, when our guys came out for the kickoff some of them were dressed like they were going cross-country skiing. They had hoods on their heads. Lots of them were wearing gloves. Whenever a unit returned to the bench, they parked their butts near the heaters.

On the Aggie side, meanwhile, they were all standing and jumping along the sideline all night long.

They were into the game. LSU clearly wasn't.

Did that affect anything? We only have the game itself to draw our conclusions. I haven't seen an LSU team play that soft in years.

I refuse to believe the poor dears were "tired" from the long season. That's such bullsh*t. A&M certainly didn't seem tired.

The other thing that happened, I'm convinced, is that LSU had watched video on A&M all week and it had fooled them into thinking this was the worst football team they were going to face all season.

The mind plays tricks like that on teams. They watch the video. They saw A&M struggle, even against UMass. I think it had an effect on LSU's mental preparation.

The good news is that the shoe now is on Georgia's foot. How worried are they going to be after watching the tape of the LSU-A&M game?

guess you knew it when every SEC team outscored us in the first quarter this year except Bama. And I bet you knew we'd beat Bama in the first quarter too

It's true. We were outscored by sec opponents in every 1st quarter except Bama. Did you know we'd lose those games too?
And Bama was favored by a lot. Did you know we'd win that game in the first quarter? It's not rocket science. How the hell did you know we'd lose to A&M after one drive?

House and Kelly got outcoached

Thank you for noticing that. I also questioned why some of our guys had hoods and face covers while there were sorority girls in the stands wearing sweaters. I was like aw, do you want me to put some marshmallows in your cocoa while you huddle under a blanket by the fire?

Someone posted this after the game and it made immense sense. It wasn’t lack of effort, rather the energy wasn’t there, guys are fatigued and there’s a lack of depth that will be addressed with this recruiting class and transfer portal. A&M was playing for their lives, this and the Alabama game were their conference championship and super bowl games. They’re extremely talented yet raw and poorly coached, so getting a win like this was bound to happen, unfortunately it was against LSU. Factor all that in, you’ll find the answer to what truly happened. That’s the beauty and ugliness of college football. Now watch this weekend, that’ll scratch your head after the A&M showing, LSU holds Georgia, very close, win or lose.
