I want to only see screens on 1st and 2nd down. Tired of seeing screens on 3rd down. If we have X yards to get on 3rd, throw the ball X+ yards down the field. No more lazy screens on crucial plays.

So greedy that they won't just credit everyone paying for the channels. Instead, banking on people not seeing that they need to click this button to get the credit. fricking garbage.

Edit: And on top of that, $20 is no where close to enough. I'm missing 80% of what I watch on TV currently.

LSU is at $30M, while Kelly is at $53M. I see a lot of room in the middle. Would guess it finishes somewhere around $40M.

Complete bust? Our DBs are elite, the only good players on the OL are transfers, and the WRs have not really had a chance with how bad the QB/OL play has been. We also got a transfer QB that may be taking over for the rest of the year and could be our starter next year. I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that the transfers are a bust.

I want to say I heard from Hester this morning that LSU had 7 positive plays get reviewed, while Bama had zero. I may be messing that stat up a bit.

I said to myself all last week that I needed to come into the game with the awareness that Bama will be given at least a few more opportunities to win the game than LSU. SEC needs their playoff teams to stay untouched, so it's no surprise that the LSU offense went into review on 3 consecutive 1st down conversions, with 2 of them being overturned, while we were in a 1 score game in the 4th quarter. The fact that they went into a review for the slide was atrocious.

Haven't seen it posted, but how the frick did they not call the punt late in the 4th a touchback? They let the ref with a much worse angle of where the ball was make the final decision, while the ref with an angle to see the football was signaling for a touchback.

LSU would not have won the game anyway, but the final score here would have been by 1 score if they didn't frick LSU up and down the field with the SEC's officiating power to rig a game.

We've talked about how LSU is a running game away from being a competent offense. If we establish the run the same way we did in the 1st half of the A&M game and actually stick to it, how many points do we put up? Let's say for hypothetical purposes that we run it 30 times for 5 yards per carry - what would be the domino effect of that?

For one, it will greatly affect our ability to finish in the redzone - we saw that materialize with a finished drive to take the lead against A&M when we still hadn't given up on the running game yet. I think we put up 24ish if we genuinely establish the run and stick with it.

Second, it'll force Alabama into some single high coverage, and our mismatch WRs (Trey'dez, AA1, Barion, Zavion) can eat them up in one on one matchups. Not sure how much I really trust Nuss and the OL at this point to provide a passing game, but at least there could be fewer moments where Nuss is getting pressure throwing into 7/8 man coverages. Less opportunity for Nuss to make critical mistakes.

Last, it will keep the defense off the damn field. We lost the time of possesion battle in all 3 losses. Best way to give the defense a hand is to keep them off the field.

This program could have completely fallen off the rails following Orgeron (see Auburn or Florida), but overall Kelly kept us in a decent place. It certainly didn't live up to expectations, but the roster is in a much better place now what what he inherited when he took over and I'm grateful for that.

I think this has gotten lost in what have been a wild couple of weeks. BK did not build a championship caliber program, but he did immediately turn a dumpster fire back into a respectable program.

We let him go at the right time. He has put us in a position where the next coach will be starting with a very stable base in terms of talent, and there doesn't seem to be a major culture issue within the program given how quickly Frank has been able to re-energize the team.

I don't really like Brian Kelly, but he's not leaving us in a place where we have to dig out of a massive hole, at least.

Say what you want about McMahon as a coach, but all of his teams have at least played very hard. Now that we've got some guys I feel are talented and experienced, I think this could be a bubble team if we continue getting high effort. We crashed the boards hard last night.
