I never understood the offseason optimism for this team especially when the injuries started coming in. They're bad.

Leavitt was one of the highest graded QBs under pressure last year. Not sure I agree under pressure he's less comfortable. If anything, he mostly seems more comfortable. In fact, he hit a deep ball under major pressure and got hit too. He seems to thrive more under pressure. If I was a defense I'd never blitz him and make him stay in the pocket to pass. That's where he hasn't been good.

Yup. It's as I thought Saints are not going to be good this year. Wouldn't be shocked if they can't even win a bad division.

His issue is timing with his accuracy. You can easily see it. This is what I was worried about on a guy who barely practiced a month. No time to gain chemistry with WRs, etc. That plus not playing since last Oct. We're going to have to be patient with him. He has great attributes and I like the fire he has. I seen him yelling at WRs on the bench.
His accuracy is slightly off at times, or he throws where he thinks a WR will be but is not, or just timing. These are things that will get better as the season goes along. It just sucks we have to play 2 brutal games back-to-back. I felt like we survived this part of the schedule LSU would roll this year. It's easy to see why the backups look better. They're more refined because they had spring.
If I had more critiques off his game he locks-on to WRs too much which lets DBs feast. That will get you ate up in the SEC.

re: Has this defense been tested?

Most of those yards given up are from 2nd string D. I don't think even think 1st has given up 100 yards total.

Our defense was good last year and this one looks way better at every level particularly DL. We have elite pass rush right now which is not something we had last year.
Something I don't know if you guys have paid attention to but Kiffin has consistently even before the Clemson game said second string defense sucks and we're in trouble if any injuries happen. He said it again last night in post game.
They absolutely suck behind the 1s. Our 1s are probably as good as anyone but our 2s are awful right now. Kiffin said it all through camp they were a problem and he said the same thing about OL. He also made comments about WR all through camp in so many words he wasn't impressed. Now you see why he was trying to get more players to be eligible. He saw it and told us before it happened.
Our 1st string D has given up 3 points and it would be 0 points with not even 100 yards combined offense between 2 games had SL not turned the ball over for an easy 3. I will say Clemson and Tech are awful on offense though but that's still amazing.

re: LA tech defense scheme.
Posted by friendlyobservation on 9/13/26 at 12:02 pm to thumperpait
You severely underestimate Kiffin's ability to adjust in a game to scheme around it. He has done it his entire career...and he did it in this game too in the second half.
You better bring 2 gameplans when you play a Kiffin offense because if it's not working, he's going to find a hole somewhere.

re: We are OverRated

There isn't a single team in the top 10 who looks dominant. LSU will get better. We have an entire new personnel staff on offense. It takes time for chemistry to come together. Defense is way ahead and look elite. Offense has the potential to be elite. Leavitt has exactly 1 month of practice and didn't play football before Clemson since last October. He's going to take time. Revisit at the end of the year and see if anyone wants to play LSU.
re: Lots of Respect for La Tech
Posted by friendlyobservation on 9/12/26 at 11:42 pm to RB10
They've been ranked in the top 25 on defense the past 2 years I think. They're not surprising they're good on defense. Their offense is the problem. The games that Tech lost last year due to a bigger score like this game was because their defense was on the field the entire game too.

Still just as bad as he was at LSU too.
re: Late hit on Leavitt
Posted by friendlyobservation on 9/12/26 at 10:54 pm to XD
Late in the game I think it was also on Green someone hit him hard about an easy few seconds after the play was over about 5 yards out of bounds with no call either.

WR hasn't been super impressive the bigger problem right now is Leavitt. He has a lot of rust to knock off. We're getting Ole Miss at the worst time. Clark looks better than him simply because he has been practicing since spring.

Who cares they won? That's all that matters and if I was a Longhorn fan, all I'd care about in the moment.

Maybe their defenses are just that good. Good defenses typically make QBs look bad.
re: Ole Miss will lose to LSU
Posted by friendlyobservation on 9/12/26 at 10:42 pm to MDB
I'm pretty sure LSU's first string defense hasn't given up 100 yards of total offense in 2 games. I don't think anyone has even crossed the 50 on them. The DL is kinda nasty. Both players we got off Ole Miss have been flashing everywhere too. Ole Miss fans said Dottery sucked what are you guys smoking? He had a dropped pick 6 last week and forced 2 fumbles tonight. The DE with the name I can't pronounce already has like 5-6 sacks on the season. Dottery looks like an All-SEC LB to me and he looked good in the playoffs last year as well.

Grats on the win brother. That was one of the better games I've seen in awhile. Glad I stuck with it.

Anyone got the video of the meltdown Sark did on that security guard pregame coming out of the tunnel a year or 2 ago? That was grade A prick move for the dude doing his job.

Going to be a fun game no doubt. Leavitt is vulnerable. He has a lot of rust to knock off with only 1 month practice. We'll see if he can overcome his first hostile environment. LSU's 1st string defense is pretty tough though. They've given up 3 points this year and the 3 points was on a short field INT. Got to think both sides have been saving their offensive playbook for this game.

Chambliss looked horrible first half against Louisville. He threw multiple INTs then settled down second half.
