What I've been saying about the CAYTS - a team that can't put together four quarters. Yesterday, they played about ten minutes.

I'd say South Carolina beats 'em.

KJ doesn't throw a perfect ball on target Everytime. But he probably doesn't have to to win 6 games so I'm ok with that.

We looked marginally better in the first half against an outmatched team.

Any SEC team with a decent passing game and any SEC team with a decent D line will give us fits.

Best case scenario is we manage to eek out 3 conference wins, State, Kentucky and an upset of one of AU, Ark or aTm….

And I know State and Kentucky are going to be dogfights we could still manage to lose.


Why do you think a team with a passing game will give LSU fits. LSU needs to get Ward back at safety and unfortunately Anthony got hurt last night, but this team gets after the QB.

LSU needs to get better in running game. That might involve playing the Freshman RB more and getting Emory back.

Because outside of the 2 CBS we can’t cover anyone. Still busting coverages and having receivers and particularly TEs so wide open it looks like they are the only person on the field.

We have like 13 sacks against McNeese and CM. That’s great but still not convinced they can get to the QB vs good SEC teams. Maybe they can, but time will tell

Kiner definitely needs to be the featured back. Emery has shown next to nothing since he’s been here. Don’t think getting him back will do anything but add an average backup.

LSU finally showed energy. Running game is still a concern but at least this team looks like it may win some games in the conference. First 2 games they looked no better than #12 in the conference.

We are not good.

The tennessee teams, including Chattanooga should be ranked higher than UK.

Bama still has work to do with the run game. The team is very talented but something seems a little off. Maybe it’s leadership or lack of chemistry.

The defense gave up way too many rushing yards. If they repeat that performance, Ole Miss will beat them.

A- Performance.

USC scored a garbage TD off of a horrible fumble call that wasn't.

A few more points gifted by a Kirby Smart idiot-moment of swapping quarterbacks for no apparent reason.

Other than that it was a 40-3 thrashing of an SEC opponent that has athletes but no depth.

Kiner should start at RB. Bech is a beast. He’s everything I had hoped Arik Gilbert would be. If LSU can establish a running game, they will win 8 or more games.

I think LSU had 5 against UCLA as well. Lots of teams have played G5 and 1 FCS team so far this year. LSU's numbers are against comparable teams save UGA and Bama, both have played SEC game and 1 P5 team from OOC.

Tennessee’s D is better than I expected.

I know your roster got depleted with Portal transfers but Tennessee is playing hard and looks organized on both sides the ball. Under Pruitt Defense was always prepared but Offense was sketchy. Much more balanced looking team.

Auburn’s not a serious competitor for the SEC this year and likely won’t be anytime soon unless there are major roster upgrades across the board.

Nearly impossible to do that with Dabo, Kirby, and Saban snagging most of the top talent in the area.

Defense looked lost in zone

WR’s are a weakness

Offensive play calling had crucial errors

Bo can’t seem to completely overcome his tendencies of years past but has improved. However, he slipped back in key situations.

Overall happy with their effort in that game and saw some positives in our O Line. Our DL is great on Run D but we lack a viable pass rush.

I am overall positive about what I saw and that we can improve upon.

Without a pass rush, guys get open.

Without a next level receiver, nobody’s open.

Two best offensive players are Tank and Hunter.

We have to get better talent at the line of scrimmage to compete for SEC championship.

Bo is potentially a mediocre game manager.
He’s not a next level QB.
He should use his legs more than his arm.
He could do something to help us, but he does not really have a great deep ball.

Hogs did not look good but won the game. We are going to lose 4-5 games this season if not more

My team played so awful yesterday the most interesting thing to happen in the game was the opposing coach constantly getting physical with his players.
