They got gassed and sucked arse bigly from the last drive of the 1st half onward. LSU pretty much moved the ball at will on us. It was like they figured something out about our scheme and started exploiting the shite out of it.

Daniels went 14/15 from the interception to the final incompletion before the FG.

The entire DL didn't piss a drop. They barely even made Daniels move in the 2nd half. Never got home, and flat ran themselves out of plays quite often. Looks like this is yet another vaunted Arkansas defensive line that is overhyped and underwhelming.

Nabors is a beast and #15 was inexplicably in man on him all night.

Our front 7 also seems to have taken a huge step back in terms of tackling and fundamentals. We arm tackle a lot, constantly give up YAC, and it always seems to take 3 of them to get a ball carrier down.

Offense took a step forward in this game (penalties aside), but defense took one back IMO. The story of Arkansas football, I suppose.

agreed... Offense is showing glimpses of Eno's system working. Takes time.

Defense started great, and then dropped like a lead balloon!

Same thing that happened last year. Went from getting all of these sacks and being physical to just giving up long passing TDs over and over.

We had a good mix of pressure in the 1st half and stopped in the 2nd. I also felt like we should have mixed in more zone. Man to man getting killed over the top.

Yeah, Hunter and Sam called me and asked for my opinion on Odom after the Missouri game, and that was the deciding factor.

Odoms D held LSU to 13 last year and we still lost. Our super hot ex GF Briles put up a whopping 10 points at home in that one.

Enos just put up 31 on the road.

People still aren’t realizing the constant in all this.

I liked the aggressiveness of the defense last night in the first half.

The second half shows the conservative approach, picked apart.

I think when LSU opened up their run game, it took pressure off Daniels and he was able to lock down and key in. LSU became very balanced in second half

Really? They asked me and I said not to fire him so they must have asked someone else here as well
