After each week's completion, ESPN College Football analyst Cole Cubelic shares his "Sunday SEC takeaways."

Here's what he had to say after LSU's loss to Vanderbilt:

quote:
LSU: Couldn't protect the QB. Run game inconsistent. 22 seemed to have a better feel. Nice job in pass pro. Couldn't get ball down the field. TEs need more physicality. Formation variety not great. Perimeter throws helped. 14 is just big time. Defense struggled in conflict. QB eyes pulled them out of position. Didn't get him to the ground. Got reached in run game. Movement worked against themselves. Back blocks displaced them at times. Lost to TEs. 90 good inside. Gap schemes not always fit correctly.

VANDERBILT: Massive win historically for the program. OC had a great plan. Forced defenders into conflict. Found mis matches with movement & formations. Mixed run game with speed, gap & zone. OL was great. Physical in pass pro. Great out in space. C was awesome pulling. 28 & 22 pounded. Won short yardage. QB made big throws. Great reads and smart decisions. Avoided the oh shite plays. Call catchers made some really tough grabs. They offered up so much to defend. DL attacked. 15 great in pass rush. Simulated pressures had success. Knew where to attack. Tackled well. Mis fit a few runs. 10 played fast. LBs shot gaps. Got outside in a hurry. Contested the deeper throws with success. Very impressive W.

I would say a little more about play calling. If you cant protect qb you have mix in wrinkles. Instead it was the same thing over and over. Running routes that take 2.5 sec and the qb has 1.5 sec. Pathetic plan and no adjustments.

The talent LSU has, they should have beat Vandy by 10 at least. It is coaching, play calling and the defense let us down. They over rushed Pavia instead of building a wall in front of him and make him beat LSU with his arm. You cannot over rush a DTQB like this guy. Berry should be the starter alternating with CD. Berry should get most of the carries. CBK and this experience BS. You put your best 22 players on the field, Fk the experience. This is what Saban did. We have players sitting the bench that should be on the field. He cannot say that, hell he is playing picket a true Freshman?? If it is one team I hate to lose to other than Bama\Florida is the aTm faggies. Kick arse Saturday night Tigers! CBK let them loose, unleash hell. GEAUX TIGERS!
