I know he’s lit Baker up 2 years in a row.
In '24 he came in and ran an offense that LSU didn't prepare for.

Last year he barely completed half his passes and got like 40% of his yards on a bad throw. He ran the ball well against a much worse front 7 missing its best player.

Chambliss is irrelevant
To this discussion? Yes he is. Chambliss had almost no success running the ball outside of one carry.

If you make Reed throw the ball the same way we made Trinidad throw the ball, we win this game going away. It's the title of the thread.

In 6 quarters vs Baker, Reed has accounted for 452 yards on 45 plays, (10.4 ypp) and 7TDs. Doesn’t matter if his name isn’t Chambliss he’s destroyed Baker’s soft arse at a more efficient clip.

If you think Reed can’t complete uncontested 5 yard hitches and slants you’re just mistaken

After watching that Kentucky game this weekend can 100% confirm.

He’s more inaccurate than Leavitt

A lot of black pilling but we’re fine. I think we handle ATM but until he proves otherwise there’s no evidence to show that Baker has answered the question that’s been asked all off season which is “can he defend the duel threat QB?” Doesn’t mean we won’t win but for us to maximize our potential he has to be better.

Make Reed go on long drives and beat you with accuracy and decision making.


Hmmm? I'm thinking Elko is saying the same thing about Leavitt.

Elko is still a solid coach. I wouldn’t overlook this team simply for losing to Kentucky. I think they’re a formidable opponent.

Making reed throw under duresss is the key to victory


But you can’t just all-out blitz him. Send 5 and disguise where it’s coming from and mush-rush to hold him in the pocket and try to collapse it on him. Even in zone, we don’t want him getting outside.

I don’t think anyone is calling for Joe Lee Dunn type of blitzing insanity. I think mostly people like the creativity and zone blitzes we saw vs Clemson and a lot of people prefer our defenses when we’re man to man centric. What they don’t want is 10 yards of cushion, conceding easy throws and not applying any pressure because you’re scared of giving up a big play especially when nobody’s got behind your secondary yet this season.

I don’t think the first half game plan against Chambliss was terrible. I do think they took too long to adjust but this game plan will work against Reed. Make him beat us throwing the ball.


We should never run that game-plan again. If you’re going to run that zone with that much cushion you better pressure the quarterback back. If you need to spy then do it but send more than 4 and be multiple. Keep the QB worried about the pass rush and the zone can work. Don’t pressure and you’re down 17 plus pts at the half.

Blake Baker deserves all the criticism associated with losing this game and I for one am concerned about playing any QB with a pulse as a result. The shameful mess of having the players but lacking the X’s & O’s is something that should drive all LSU fans nuts. We have seen enough of this BS.
