Three Short Weeks Ago, LSU's D Contained "Johnny Football"...

What is the second highest passing output by a QB all year against LSU?

LSU defense is better equipped to contain that type of offense. It's why I never just assumed Bama would've shut down Oregon or Okie last year. Bama beats aTm everytime if we apply the eye test.

Saban defensive scheme in the first quarter was terrible. His slower D-ends were pushing up the field and he was blitzing from one side. Manziel had no intentions on passing when he would see this. He would just drop back, wait on the D-ends to over commit and the field to clear then gash them. After the First quarter Bama handled him about as well as anyone else but it was too late at the point.

I have two reasons for you.

1) LSU hangover is a bitch. Look at SC after playing us.

2) That was the second spread team they played that could compete. They played Mich but let's be honest here they are garbage. It's a rarity to see the spread ran to a perfection and JF does it. I know Alabama's D is made for stoping fast teams but there is such a thing as over confidence and a LSU hangover.

We should have won and it kills me that they beat us in 90 sec. WTF prevent D? Make a play, Loston has been pissing me off with all the blown assignments and really shitty angles. I guess we know what Raymond doesn't do in guys.

Perhaps had Bama played another ranked team this year, this would not have happened?

This, IMO, is a sad excuse, especially when you consider the hype surrounding Bama. Once again, they lose their most important HOME game of the season. I'm not buying it. This is the mighty Saban and his defense.

And A&M was the first spread team we played, correct? On the road as well, right after our USCe "hangover". We had just beaten a top 10 team at home the week before. Why weren't we "hungover"? Hell, we held aTm to less points in the entire game than the mighty Saban held them to at the end of the first quarter...

This I can agree with. Loston has not played up to his supposed potential. He got burned a lot this past weekend as well. We miss the Badger. Perhaps someone will step up next season.

Yeah, I'm giving the Chief most of the credit here, just like he takes most of the blame for giving up the two TD's before the half and at the end of the Bama game. Yep.

Now, all the credit in the world goes to Miles for bringing him in.

Insecure post.

Miles is a man who is paid millions to coach a major college football team. I am sure he can handle the criticism from TD without your input.

TD is a legit forum for fans to express their frustration. Sometimes the fans are correct most often they are not.

By the way, this "hangover" stuff is crap.

Miles and his staff do make mistakes as well as players dont execute properly.

All things considered, Miles does a good job and I am satasfied with his performance. However if he screws up then we can talk about it.

Oh and our 2 mn. D is really sucking. Dont really know who is to blame. I still like Chavis and Miles but dont like the D play calling at the end of games.

You don't believe in the "HANGOVER"? Have overplayed serious football in college? I have and there is such thing as a hangover buddy.

When you play a team that is just about your equalizer and you both are just beating the shite out of each other there is such a thing. It usually falls to the team that lost/got physically dominated(Alabama in the LSU game) the epic match up. Everyone's dogshit tired on both sides, little nagging Injuries make you practice a little soft. The coach might take mercy and let you practice in shells if you won or lost and really banged up. Bottom line it has to do with an unproductive week in practice. After LSU played bama ole Nicky had a lot to fix on that D and a little on the O-Line.

Their is such thing as a football hangover.

If y'all noticed, A&M took a page from LSU and left two RBs in the backfield to protect the passer. LSU not only showed how to stop A&Ms offense, but LSU showed how to slow down Bama's pass rush. And people say Miles is dumb.
