Better than I expected. Tackling needs to improve

Defense looks like the best unit we have seen in at least a decade. They look scary, straight flying to the ball.

Offensive line is pass-blocking significantly better than expected. Run-blocking still leaves some room to be desired, but appears to be much more effective then last year. Nuss looks very good. He doesn't look like a video game Heisman candidate, but an incredibly capable starter who will be one of the best in the conference at season's end.

I just make horn fans mad. They were mad when I said, before the game, that Sark's offense will be just as bad with Arch and we will lose. I was right and that also made them mad.

TLDR: Sark sucks arse against teams with a lot of talent. Thankfully our schedule is easy. Just bet the farm on Georgia later this season.

LSU defense looks like the best they've been since 2011. Scheme is great. Have the players on that side of the ball.

Offense is improving. Nuss still frustrates me but he has improved. WR look good and OL was capable.

Kelly should have taken the FG before half.

We looked good against a middle school team.

Our oline is going to be our problem again this year, albeit, not as bad as last years, which was one of the worse Ive seen in 25 years of watching OU football.

Defense will have to win games for us until Oline gets their shite together.

Our defense appears to be really good again.

Our offense could have used a cream puff or two or three to open the season.. That being said, we did some good things despite the results.

Things to work on.
1) Arch accuracy in the short game. When he sets his feet or is rolling out, the ball looks to come out pretty good, but when he tries to be a gunslinger, he needs some adjusting..

2) Red Zone continues to be a problem. I'm not sure of the solution here, but hopefully Sark can figure it out. We have a QB and a RB who should both be able to get downhill and into the endzone. Play calling needs to improve. Not scoring on 4th & Goal from the 1 yard line was the difference in the game. They scored on their 4th and goal, and we did not.

We are going to be hard to beat if we fix #1 and #2. TBD if that is possible.


I was telling my son that Texas would have won this game if they played it in Week 3 instead of Week 1.

LSU Fans, who's the alpha receiver on the team that you guys have always had in past years?

I think that's what I was looking for in your game but didn't see.

Much improved, especially on defense. Biggest question on the team was the O-line play, and that held up fine, as we rushed for over 100yds and only gave up one sack. Things are looking up

Aaron Anderson had 99yds. He was the 1 last year, and likely will be featured the most this year. The WR room is stacked, and a QB like Nuss will spread the ball around instead of locking in on only one option.

The abbreviated version is that we're going to score a lot of points this year.

We're also going to give up a lot of points this year.

We look similar to the last couple of years. Our passing game is poor, our receivers can't get separation, so no one is open for Calzada to throw to.

Our defense is pretty good, our running game is pretty good, but all you have to do is load the box and make us beat you with passing and we will struggle.


And our defense will tire out by the 4th quarter and you will pull away

I will leave this here so you can see how much of an idiot you are.

Everyone agreed that the #4 team was not that good...

8&4 just became 7&5. Look like that again and we can go to 6&6.

honestly pretty solid



LB's and DL are as good as last year, atleast at the starting spots. Secondary was in the right position, but will need to clean up a few aspects and then they will be really solid.


Sellers was jittery, but still is clutch in big moments. RB's were slow to get going but figured it out some in the second half. WR's have to make more of an impact. This WR room is supposed to be young, but solid. Mazeo is a guy who has to step up.


Oline, looked better in the second half, but like last year after week 1, the improvement will have to come quickly. If the Oline shapes up this team is going to be really good.
