I mean frick, we were without our starting RB and about 5 guys on defense. I kind of figured we would lose when that last injury report came out. It's how our team moves forward that matters the most.

It quite literally never works. If it worked, Saban would have called his own defenses. Especially with the portal. You can either be DC or HC but not both. I said this right when he was hired.

It does my heart good to see Austin Simmons and Caden Lee carving up Mississippi State

I do find it hilarious that LSU fans are turning beating a bad A&M team at home into a win against us last week.

Pete said the defense lacked courage.

It lacks everything. I don’t see anything other than at least 4 losses because we can’t stop anyone. Shades of 2016 Freezus

Other problem we have is our run game even with Lacy has been absolute shite. Frank Wilson might really be an issue.

Our running game was fine Trinidad had a substandard game in the first half especially but they scored 35 in the second half. That is completely unacceptable

They do

Watch Georgia in defense. They’re attacking, coming in like missiles and laying the wood

We play timid and scared

Our beat writers need to drawn and quartered for the bull shite they spewed about this defense

It wasn’t until the passing game opened up that the running game worked.

Still blows my mind we started our first series with 4 straight runs including a run up the gut on 1st down.

I'm not trying to blame the players and I'm not trying to blame the coach, honestly I don't really know where the issue lies.

But I will say, and I saw a poster mention it yesterday, if Louisville had a better quarterback they could have easily won that game, if LSU had a better quarterback we could have easily lost that game, we played a team with a great running back and a better quarterback and we easily lost the game.

And you don't need to be a world leader you just got a hit you're open receivers because they're going to be open with this secondary every now and then.

Any team that has a decent quarterback is going to be putting up points on us. Are D line doesn't get pressure enough, we're not forcing interceptions or fumbles, we could be looking at four losses.

State, UGA, FL, I wouldn't even count out Auburn at this point due to the fact that they put up 40 points on the Gators. Not to mention Missouri with Austin Simmons, all of these could end up being high scoring affairs.

Lots of if and buts. Pretty much every team in the land can say most of this stuff. It’s just modern college football.

On Simmons, though by all indications a good young man, he can’t hold Chambliss’s jock. Simmons can’t run at all to speak of and he should, not could, have had like four picks last night. State’s DBs showed why they are DBs and not receivers.

That said, I’d sure like to have Cayden Lee. Pretty much anybody would.

Their offense finds one guy they need to confuse each play to get 5-10 yards and they go right at him. Their entire team is on the same page like it’s 11 on 1.

Not over reacting to this loss any more than LSU should overreact to losing to Chambliss. Sometimes the other team just has a dude.

Baugh has 600 yds and 7.1 ypc (and yes, he was on basically the same pace before our game).

The next best RB we face is Bothwell at 400 yds and 5.5 ypc. Even when our DLine won, Baugh made it not matter. And when you can’t get a runner down, it makes everything else on offense that much easier.

I still think we drop 2-3 more games, but that was my assumption even before UF.

It was 21-24 with 3 minutes in the 3rd before we gave up the backbreaking kickoff return. Carneiro not hitting touchbacks is almost more concerning to me.

(And that’s before you get into missing Lacy in pass protection. UF couldn’t have ground us down if we were scoring in the first half)

To be fair they may have looked amazing going against our offense in practice, both suck

Our passing game is good, our rushing game just looks like the old days when we ran Enrique Davis into the centers arse for no yards
