I think Bama wins by 10. Indiana will not be able to handle the pressure, things will start to crack.

Just going on visuals, this guy doesn't look like a QB coach. More like a linebacker or fullback type

say that to his face

What, that he looks more like a linebacker than a QB :lol:?

Sure, I'd have no problem saying that at all.

I think it’s weirder that we have two wide receiver coaches.

Isn't one technically the TE coach? I don't think we have one of those.

If youi have a receiver running wide open down the middle of the field for a sure touchdown, you take that every time.

---

It was a running back, and the 1st down was guaranteed.

---

Yeah, you get the first down in that situation. You have the lead.
Keep control of the ball for a few more minutes, probably make Bama back off a bit with the pressure, very likely come away with points and regain momentum.

And again... you have the lead. You don't want to get into a fast-paced shootout, you want to own the ball and make the opponent start feeling pressured and desperate.

What can Blake Baker learn from Miami’s defense?

---

Your defense doesn’t get worn out if your offense can stay on the field.

---

Miami had the ball 26:16 and had 278 yds total offense. They had 10 pts.

LSU vs A&M, had the ball 29:48 and had 278 yds total offense. We had 25 pts.

So if anything, our offense did a bit more... more points, more time of possession.
A&M got stonewalled by Miami, and butchered us.

Tyler Shough is 26 yrs old.

For comparison, Brett Farve was 22 when he was drafted... by the Falcons. He was 23 when he was traded to the Packers, started 13 games and played in 15. He was in Green Bay from 1992 to 2007, a year with the Jets (2008), and then 2 years with the Vikings (2009-2010). He had one of his best seasons in 2009, at the age of 40 (that was the year the Saints beat them and won the Super Bowl).

Drew Brees was 21 when drafted by the Chargers, and 27 when he came to the Saints in 2006. He played until 2020, at the age of 41.

Tom Brady was 23 when he was drafted by New England, played 18 years with them, 3 more with Tampa.

I'm not saying Shough will be the next Farve/Brees/Brady, but 26 is NOT ancient for an NFL qb. And if he's even as good as, say, Matt Ryan (who played until 38), you can get a decade+ out of him.

The dline, the lbs wasn’t the ones tackling reed like that. They helped keep the rbs in check better than lsu but to give credit to their lbs like they was running around making plays on reed is hilarious unless you are putting Scott in that LB group.

I'm going on general observations of LSU, didn't get to watch much of the A&M Miami game.

LSU this season seemed to have a good, competent secondary that covered the pass well.
They had a good defensive line that provided significant pressure on dropback QBs, and did a nice job gumming up the line to stop the running backs.
The linebackers did good while dealing with finishing off the running backs. They didn't do very well at all addressing the QB... you'd hope they would be able to come in and clean up a guy flushed by the line's rush. Instead, if the d line flushed someone, and he had ANY athletic ability, he would run wild on us. Only a couple exceptions, such as Perkins cleaning up Klubnik in the Clemson game.

That's the hole in this defense. We can stop the pocket passing game, we can stop the RB run. We can create heavy pressure on the ball, but a mobile guy (Reed, Chambliss, Pavia, *Milroe) feasts on that.
If we can get a return of classic fast "LSU" linebackers like we used to see in the Miles era (White, Beckwith, Barrow, Minter, Jones, Riley, Highsmith, etc), guys like that would close out the QB. The scheme becomes lethal, and the defense jumps from solid to top 5.

Next year will go to 16 teams and the NCAA needs to set up a TV deal and promote subdivision national championship for smaller schools. In this betting environment would draw a lot of attention and make a lot of money.

That's a decent idea.

Never understood why D1 needs 132 teams.

And therein lays a lot of the problem. In no universe should the Sun Belt and MAC be given the same considerations as the SEC and Big 10. They ARE different levels, and they should be classified as such.

Game day threads are the worst. There is a reason they turn the rant off on Saturday gamedays and flush all the garbage out after the games.

---

those have gotten worse too.

Used to be that the fans of the teams involved, at least, would stay focused on the game. The trolls would be others trying to give them a hard time.

I tried to post comments (legit comments) in a couple playoff threads, and got anti-LSU responses from them. And i wasn't sniping at their teams, I was commenting on plays. Because it's the playoffs, and the games mean something.

I guess I can get the Ole Miss hostility, but the Oklahoma-Bama or A&M-Miami games?

What can you do about traffic?

It was bad in the 80's, when it was an 83k attendance. The stadium is built nestled up against the Mississippi River, so you're not going to see much improvement for mass exodus. And there's an additional 20k tickets now being sold, and parking has been pushed to basically off campus for the most part.
