A mark of contender is to win. And we have done that 8 times in a row. Relax, and enjoy. I choose to believe we still have the best QB in the country and we five ways to win. Is it pretty? Not always, but there’s a bunch that would trade places with us.

We have two really good ones on the way, Ezavier Crowell and Javari Burnett. Both are tough runners with good speed and a bit of shiftiness. Both are about the same size, 6’, 205 lbs.

They don’t.

Anxious to see what Dear can really do once he gets the pass protection down. Hope he takes a major step next season.

Defense was good. LSU is not a good offense though.

We're getting to the point where playing someone who can add pop but can only be on the field in scenarios where the RB isn't in the protection scheme is preferable...

You can't expect to keep on winning games like this and we won't, so finding something to manufacture a complimentary run game is imperative.

Hey glad to be wrong but we’ve been super consistent with who we are throughout conference play. Which has been a good team still with some really bad flaws.

True but this was LSU lowest total of the season in points, yards, and ypp

A&M gave up 42 to Arkansas, 40 to ND, and even 25 to LSU. They do not have a great defense. I actually think they have a worse defense than us, but much more balanced offense. Ohio State has played one good team in week 1. In that game they were out gained by over 100 yards. They’re probably a good team, but we don’t know yet. It’s fine to say you think we are worse than those teams, but to say we aren’t a contender is a ridiculous comment.


All of this… 100% spot on.

Yes I’m aware we’ve had bad games against Lower competition in the past and played better going forward. I’m confident we will play better in the future too. But this team just has flaws that just can’t be fixed with this combination of roster personal and coaching staff. No running game, defense relies on turnovers to be effective, offense has been consistently okay at best in conference play. I think we still finish undefeated in the regular season but this offense cannot score 30 points against anyone worth a damn. For me it’s good to temper expectations though so I don’t get too annoyed if things don’t work out.


we are the most overrated team in college football this year and
the most overrated in Bama's football history

Got to be honest. I don’t know. I keep on thinking we’re one piece coming together from clicking but it isn’t happening. I’m in hoping, wishing, praying mode at this juncture. Give Dear 10 touches per game? I just don’t know.

Dear isn't the answer. Ya'll gotta stop asking for him. First it was HIll.... Riley... Miller.. back to Riley.. then Hill.. now we're asking for Dear.

I’m not really saying he’s the answer. That’s just the only one left to offer. We’re switching OL liberally at LG, RG, and RT. The only other dial to turn is changing around the backs.

I’m not optimistic. That was my point. Throwing shite at the wall exasperation was what I was suggesting. Not a plan.

this game was just another example of our season. We can't run the football to save our life and Ty has peaks and valleys during the game. Also, you can expect runs for negative yards on 1st downs and then long passes on 2nd and 3rd.

I would like to see some more easier short to intermediate area. We are going to face teams potential will speed ends that give us trouble every game.
