I definitely believe LSU is one of the top 5. But because of Coach O's coaching since he took over. Same team and players as first part of season but look at em now with coach O. Coaching matters. Look at Michigan now and before Harbaugh. Look at San Francisco now and when they had Harbaugh as a coach.

I agree totally. Coach O deserves it from the way LSU's been playing and by the coaching job he's done so far.

Yes, hire an OC for 1 year. Should have hired an OC at least 1 or two years earlier. Preferabley right after the LSU loss to Bama in the Championship game a few years ago. That was horrible offensive play calling and execution.

Inexperience doesn't seem to keep Alabama from putting a new QB in every year and throwing successfully

I agree with all the comments about d line pressure and how about adding some zone defense on 3rd and long and keep the ball in front of you. There is a place for zone and cover 2. Doesn't have to be man to man all the time.

there's a legal way to do it. Put a defensive lineman on both sides of the center and drive him on his but. It may even disrupt the offensive play.

Lets start with Les. I like Les. He's a nice guy, BUT. When you make $3 million a year plus, I expect you to win every game. Maybe lose one or 2 at the most. If you lose 3 or 4,then maybe you should make about $1million a year. Also, being head coach at LSU you should be able to recruit the best QB in the country or at least a top 5.

Now lets look at the defense. Lets just say the defensive coaching is terrible. Its the same as last year. The d line cant pressure the QB. How many 3rd and 7 plus yards did LSU have last night? At least 7 or 8. And MSU converted all of them for lack of pass rush. When Alabama d has 3rd and 7 what happens? Strong pass rush up the middle. QB gets sacked or hurried and incomplete pass. Also the DB's need to be coached to stick their hand thru the receivers hand when they go for a pass. Especially when LSU DB is 6feet and MSU receiver is 6-5. Everybody else employs this technique why haven't we?

On the offensive side. How about lets utilize some of our weapons. Like the halfback, tailback and tight end. When MSU blitzed us or overpowered our O line, why don't we dump the ball to Hilliard or Fournett in the flat and let em run for days. Send the receivers on go routs to take CB's down field then our RB's can go. This will slow down their pass rush as well. Lastly, get the TE involved in some pass plays over the middle and in the flat.

One last thing about the game last night. The center, DAy, for MSU played dirty stepping on our players. He made it look like accident but I don't think so. Don't we have any nasty players on defense. Somebody should have told him "I'm going to knock your arse off and then do it". I almost did it and I'm fifty something. Jeese.

Absolutely. The LSU front four does not put any pressure on the QB. There were at least 3, 3rd and nines against OleMiss and everytime no pressure. That's why Alabama beat Ole Miss. When it was 3rd and long against bama, the Ole Miss QB went down in 2.5 seconds. Period.

i agree. They simply could not pass protect at all. 8 three and outs, Terrible. doulble team if necessary to help #78. Terrible.

deep enough after they catch it and run for 30 more yards.
