UF lost a good bit more than we did though, and they didn't have offensive questions that next year. We do.

Trouble is that people are confusing "highly recruited and hyped" with "game experience and actual playing ability."
Our defense may be "stacked" but they are inexperienced as evidenced by the consistent pattern of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Our QB is a redshirt freshman that until this year was not going to play AT ALL for at least another year, maybe 2. Instead of having a guy that had been in the system, had played a decent amount, etc, we have a guy who is jittery, has no confidence, no timing with his receivers, etc...in other words, he looks like a freshman playing QB.
I'll take the lumps if it means that we grow from it next year. Remember, y'all...even Saban had his rebuilding years (see 2002 and 2004).

Note. UF lost 9 starters from their defense after the NC.
We did not.
Lets all agree... LSUtigahs28 is right and LSU should consider forfieting the remainder of this year and next year. He is right there is nothing positive for the future. Lets pack it in.

I agree. If "taking our lumps" means going 9-3 with a freshman qb, I'll take that every time.

I'm sorry, is the season over? Come on people-minus Florida, our other 2 losses were very winnable games at several points...We have lost all of our games by making the worst possible mistakes you can make giving opposing teams defenses points! It's not a matter of we are being dominated at the line, or just can't be on the same field...Get a grip, this is a little bit of a rebuilding year...If we hang on and win the rest-that is what everybody thought we would do, or some even said maybe 4 losses...A year like this makes the team hungry for next year...We have talent and coaches that aren't sitting there going "oh well, I guess this is how it's going to be." BS, there angry and doing everything they can to fix it...Can't change QB situation overnite-Lee wasn't supposed to start this year, remember?

Are you kidding? They had no running game. A complete bust.

But what, exactly, are we building?

A year like this makes the team hungry for next year...
Lack of hunger wasn't the problem this year. Lack of coaching and speed on defense and inexperience at QB were the problems. And none of that will change next year except the last one.
quote:
If we hang on and win the rest
Just the fact that we're talking about "hanging on" and running the table against Troy, Ole Miss and Arkie, just to finish at a weak 9-3 (considering the schedule) should tell you there's a problem.
quote:
We have talent and coaches that aren't sitting there going "oh well, I guess this is how it's going to be."
Well, they're certainly SAYING it, so I don't know what you mean by "going", but the coaches have given zero indication that they will make significant changes.
quote:

So am I. The problem is that what I "can" isn't very much. To an obviously lesser extent, our defensive coaches have the same problem.
quote:

He and Hatch had all spring and offseason, and honestly they haven't done that poorly. The only game I blame on QB play was against one of the best defensive coaches in the country who specializes in confusing QBs. With less talent at his disposal last year, Saban got three picks off Matt Flynn too.
quote:
UF is proof
2007-08 UF has absolutely nothing to do with 2008-09 LSU. They have so much better talent and more speed than we do, not to mention drastically better coaching on defense, that any comparison of the two teams is meaningless.

It's pretty obvious that our recruiting classes have been overrated for the past several years. Where's the speed on our roster that you see on Florida's? Where are the big, fast linebackers who knock the shite out of people that you see on other SEC teams' rosters? Where is the superstud QB that other big time programs seem to churn out every year?
Some recruiting services rank players high based on whether certain schools are recruiting them. Of course, this in turn means those schools automatically get highly rated classes because the fact that they are recruiting someone improves his ranking. I think we are one of those schools.

Posted on 11/12/08 at 2:05 pm to Nuts4LSU
Nust4LSU, I believe you are nuts!!!What in the hell do you expect us to do every year?? What are we rebuilding? How about the QB position for starts-Yes they had all spring, so did everybody else in the nation...Fact is Periloux was suppossed to be our starting QB, and Lee and Hatch were always going to be back-ups...I think another area of "rebuilding" is the defense minus the D-line, and also the team leadership-obviously this is a work in progress...Since you are so damn negative about the entire team and outcome-thank heavens your not on the team. You seem to be one of the dillusional fans that probably never played a down of College or even HS football-You probably think that you want us to win games more than our players and coaches. Well guess what-you ain't the one who shows up at 6:00 am Monday after a Saturday night game to go over film and run "correction drills" are you? Quit be so damn negative. Do you support the team or just point out the negative?

Two years ago Florida won the NC, and the next year their QB won the Heisman but the teams lost three SEC games and a bowl game against a shitty Michigan team. Look at what UF is doing this year. We're fine.
In 2002, LSU lost games once Mauck went down due to poor QB play, in spite of great talent at the other positions.
In 2004 LSU again was not very good due to poor QB play which limited the offense, in spite of great talent at the other positions.
Sky is not falling. QB play is important.

I dunno, we should ask Miami, ND, Ohio State, and the 20 or so other teams LSU beat the last several years where all the speed went.

Unfortunately, I expect LSU will be taking the same lumps next year with JJ or Sheperd at QB. Another year wasted on a new QB.
