We should match up better with USCe as they’re a more run heavy team. However, Beamer’s back is up against the wall so we’ll see how both teams respond. Have no clue at this point.

Think part of the problem is that the secondary is so bad, we literally have to play prevent defense a ton.


Very true. But I'd rather get burned by blitzing at this point than rushing 3 and still not being able to cover
Yep, the defensive play calling at the end of the first half was horrible. They had 29 seconds left on their own 26 and we played prevent defense. Instead of going into half down 7 we go down double digits.
I haven’t seen our OL play that bad in a long time. Consistently getting beat on a 3 man rush.
He rarely brings pressure it seems.

I think we’re all still a bit traumatized from Napier. I don’t think BYU, Texas tech, Utah are better than us but could make an argument for LSU. Doesn’t really matter, it will play itself out.
-Elite skill players. VB3 looks like the second coming of Percy Harvin. You already know about Baugh.
-Philo has looked great at QB, don’t care about competition I’ve seen enough shitty qb play over the years to know the difference.
-Trenches are questionable
-secondary has looked elite and shitty at the same time
-special teams is above average

Our defensive front 7 is miles better than any front 7 they have seen.


You guys are ranked like 100 in run defense??
Just need to contain Chambliss and not turn the ball over. Their O is not explosive and they’ll be without Lacy (game time decision my arse with a bye week next week). Their D is not good, at least on paper, and very weak against the run.
Gators have better skill players. Not convinced Brown is much better than Philo. We’ll see.
I’m a bit concerned about the trenches, but think our skill players shine and make the difference - gators win 28-24.

There’s a difference of being hated because your dominant like bama in the 2010s and UGA lately. LSU is hated because Lane is a sleaze.

LSU adds another former NFL player

Kiffin adds former 49ers WR Dajeon Love:

quote:

LSU continues to treat the NFL as a talent pipeline. After landing several actual former pros, Lane Kiffin has reportedly added Dajeon Love, the self-described former 49ers wide receiver.

Asked about the move Tuesday, Kiffin didn’t hesitate. “We watched the tape. He had a helmet, a jersey, a signing video, and Google confirmed it.”

they will not go against the SEC


But they are? :lol:

quote:

With a step-by-step explanation, the SEC announced its institutions are "not permitted to have an athlete on its roster who has: 1. Previously declared for the NFL, NBA, or WNBA draft, and did not appropriately withdraw. 2. Signed a contract with an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) team. 3. Been listed on an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) roster." The announcement stated Sankey "is authorized to enforce this expectation with penalties against member institutions." An SEC spokesperson later told ESPN that penalties are "to be announced."

Meanwhile, the players attempting to go to LSU are claiming they never appeared for an NFL team, and therefore should be granted eligibility.


:lol: that’s their defense?

You all may be lane's quickest coaching stop to date. Impressive


He managed to turn LSU into a dumpster fire before the season even started. Quite the feat.
Was thinking the other day how many of these people from up north are regretting moving here after experiencing the Florida summer heat and humidity.

It’s CPOs, co-packaged optics. Data centers are moving from copper to optical fiber due to signal degradation and energy consumption.

Recent Goldman report estimated that the total addressable market could increase nine times to 154 billion by 2028.

Granted there’s been a lot of run up already with many names like LITE, AXTI, AAOI, but the super cycle is just starting.
