This team has enough good arms to throw a pretty stout bullpen game when we need to. Which we will in order to survive.
We’ve given up leads to these guys two games in a row. It’s not ideal but you don’t advance unless you hold the lead.
Is Wheeler ever actually on or near the rubber when he releases?
They brought some pressure, but we seemed to generally pick it up pretty well.

A&M did not have anyone on Echols’ level. That dude’s a monster, and I wouldn’t be optimistic about #50 handling someone that good any better than Bordelon can.
It was so egregious I wonder if he was just running the wrong play; he immediately took off downfield run blocking.

Overall he looked ok, though. Slight improvement over Bordelon.
100%. I remember those fun games in the 80s and the downward spiral in the early 90s. A&M is a rival to me, I have a unique hate for this crew.
I’m sure part of it is how bent Sankey is on us hiring Wade and how our roster is shaping up. No doubt we’re being very intentional on this.
100% agree. Defense travels, but first road game of the season in a wild environment, things could easily go sideways, particularly for the offense and OL.

Our OL outside Seaton isn’t talented enough to just line up and handle anyone. We need to be well prepared to understand the opponent’s schemes and have a detailed game plan to exploit personnel and schematic weaknesses. I don’t think we had that against LA Tech, and I think Tech was able to confuse and disrupt a lot of what we tried in the first half as a result.

I frankly think the staff’s focus has been almost entirely on Clemson, Ole Miss and ATM for this early part of the schedule. And rightly so.

Kiffin has an ever so slightly better track record with first year QBs than Kelly or Orgeron..
Agreed on this point, the staff as a whole worked hard.

What’s clear to me is that Kiffin is intent on sending a message about where LSU is going and how relentless his staff will be. Not sure if we’ll always promote it so publicly, but clearly Kiffin wants to at this early stage of his tenure.

Scary thing about Kiffin IMO

He’s obviously a fiend in recruiting, now even more so with LSU’s brand and resources behind him, and the lack of any real boundaries. But I don’t think that’s where his ego is truly fed. He gets off on out working and out strategizing other coaches, being smarter than them, and embarrassing them on Saturdays.

I’ve never been a fan of Kiffin the person, but good Lord this is looking like trouble for everyone else. Also highlights, again for the 100th time, how lazy and worthless Kelly was here.
It’s a completely new market for sports agents with a completely new revenue source, and one that is largely unregulated in terms of limitations on transferring, or restructuring or signing new NIL deals. The current environment sucks, but it’s not surprising, and it won’t change until guardrails are put in place around transferring and NIL deal structures.
Looks really good. Have we been connected to him at all?

This team really needs Miller to grow and develop, and he could still come on, but I’m growing less optimistic with every game.
Agreed, I was impressed with the DL and how Kyle worked with what we had.

Kyle is handling this the right way - if you can devote the time and effort it takes to coach at a high level in the SEC, then do it. If not then step aside and don’t coast.

Some of the bench guys like King played well against the weak part of the schedule, didn’t see it against Tech or SMU.

Feels like two big variables for this team are:

1. How well does Max shoot and can he get going?
2. Can Nwoko stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor?

When one of those things happens, seems like we at least have a chance. When neither happen, we become way too limited.
I thought this team looked better than recent years thus far, but this performance was, uh, highly disappointing. I hope they start knocking down shots and figuring it out, or else McMahon needs to finally be held accountable.
Agreed. Sounds like Lane and other trustworthy assistants will need to get directly involved with NOLA to counteract this. Will take time and may have a short term negative impact, but you can’t employ someone you straight up can’t trust.
