The same way you pussies got so excited about winning your joke of a schedule.

LSU was dead last in defense last year. Dead freaking last.

They are now an average to a bit above average defense. That’s tremendous improvement.

Perkins would be great as a spot player not as the center focal point that’s been tried at failed he was best used his freshman year but right now is the defenses. Everybody knows their assignment and there is no confusion.

Odds are we will never see Perkins in a LSU uniform again

Guys making plays instead of waiting on Perkins to?


Yup, Weeks is a better linebacker.

Perkins is a better athlete.

Why not teach Perkins how to play linebacker? That's been my biggest gripe. The plays will come, stop trying to make him make a play.

Weeks is flat out dominating right now.

Had Perkins playing out of position, and Weeks wasn't on the field for something like 30 snaps against USC. Weeks is better suited for LB and once he started getting the snaps, things changed.

Come on man… we lined him up literally everywhere you can imagine except DT & DB.

Edge rusher, star, nickel, MLB… At some point it’s on the player.

They just magically figured out how to scheme at halftime of the UCLA game huh?

The last two years being the only realistic measuring stick — he is a fantastic athlete but a situational football player / specialist at this level.

He wasn’t underutilized
If anything it was the opposite.

He should have just been a pass rush specialist or used to spy the QB.

He was not big or strong enough to play every down inside.

Perk is a tweener whose camp insisted we turn him into an every down player.


and every coach alive would be trying to find a way to get him in the field.

idk why we’re acting like coaching are being held at gun point to try and find a way to play a twitchy freak athlete.

I think we just went down the wrong path between Small LB and bigger safety.

Perkins, like dozens of Louisiana State players over the years, was vastly overrated by Louisiana State fans like OP.

Perkins struggles to spell LSU. Why your staff tried to put him anywhere he had to think beyond get the ball is criminal.

That is the motto of your school! He was actually a huge part of us going to the SECCG in 2022 we do not beat Bama without him.

I haven’t had a chance to watch them this year. Just caught the tail end of the Reb game yall had.
I am watching the full game Saturday.
Both teams fighting for that SECCG.
Only 1 will make it lol
Honestly I do see aTm finally getting to 1 this year.
As long as they don’t pull an Auburn.

[All those teams aren't ranked! How do you get so excited about beating unranked teams?]. Sorry to play spoiler to your statement, but But Ole Miss was ranked when LSU beat them.
