I have complained for at least the last 15 years that LSU is not going after good OL prospects!! For years Miles and now Coach O are looking at *****'s for the skill positions and overlooking the linemen. Why do we constantly go after 5 or 6 receivers each class but only 1 or 2 linemen. All good coaches know that you have to start in the trenches. But what further worries me more is the type of OL recruits we get!! For the most part they are mainly Guards. We need to see centers & tackles in our classes and we need to see linemen who are in playing condition. I'm sorry but a 6'2" 350 lb. linemen who takes 3 seconds to even get off the line is not going to cut it.
I get so mad when I see see these fat and slow linemen that LSU gets and I look around at other teams and I see big and tall linemen who get off the line, can pass block and then even get downfield to block. What is the problem? Can the coaches not evaluate OL talent?
Lastly, I also cannot stand to see all of the out of shape players that LSU is putting on the field. This is not a COVID problem, it is a problem which has been going on for years! We need to start laying the blame for these problems clearly where they belong ON THE COACHING STAFF!

Been following LSU since the early 60's. I have seen some really great ones, BUT, I cannot say that I have seen 1 guy completely turn a team around like Joe has. It is truly something to see. I hope he continues at this pace and sets the Gold Standard for LSU players going forward!!! Geaux Tigers!

418 yards passing should worry the HELL out of everyone!!!!!

I'm 65 years old born in Louisiana and I have been a huge LSU fan my whole life. It is tough being in Alabama the last few years. I'm not some Johnny come lately fan and all I have to say is that some of you guys need to take off your purple and gold blinders and see that we have a very serious problem with the defensive coaching. Some of you Aranda sunshine pumpers were the ones raising hell about Chavis and the Miles Offense. Now,I see this defense turning in the same direction! P.S. I wonder if Papa Burrow might come out of retirement. If he is as tough as Joe, it might be fun!!

On 1 play late in the game, I think he grabbed his jersey 4 times as he was trying to prevent him from making another big play. I was really getting worried that the Bama Refs were about to take the game away. I think Joe did the keeper right after that and iced the game!

You are 100% correct!!! As soon as the 2011 game was over this talk started. As soon as this game was over the same crap started. If the shoe was on the other foot, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL!!! that the Alabama fans would be saying that LSU deserved a rematch!!! LSU fans, do not fall for this trap!!! HELL NO TO A REMATCH!!!!!!

Like some of the others. Stay in Scottsdale around Old Town. When you go over to Glendale a great BBQ. place is The Pits Again!

First off, I'm a life long LSU fan. I was @ Ole Miss when LSU took a knee 4 times at the 1 yard line with 5 minutes to go and I 100% felt it was the right thing to do.
Now to this issue. I admire Nick for his hard work and dedication. My problem is with the staff. To me, the smart play here was to run the ball and try put the game away. With 1 minute to go being up 14 seems to me as a safe bet at putting the game away. If you are scared that your defense can give up 14 points in 1 minute against Arkansas, then you do not need to be coaching @ LSU!!!!!!!!!!

I agree 100% that conditioning seems to be a major problem. I'm not completely on the change S&C Coach train yet, but I have serious questions about things.
With a few exceptions, I see a team which is not conditioned to play great football. I have a couple of areas of concern. The first is the linemen. Both O-Line and D-Line appear to be overweight and slow. To play great football these guys need to get in shape and pick up some quickness. Also, I noticed that our 2 main running backs appear to have also bulked up more this year. I may be wrong, but they both appear to be slower getting to the hole and not having the speed to break away for longer gains.
Both of those issues relate to the S&C coaching and I know that it is long term correction, but I feel steps can be taken quickly to make some improvements

I thought both Lawrence & Fehoko played good at times. However, for these guys to get to the next level, they really need to get in real playing shape, work on speed and agility and improve their pass rushing skills.
