What are your weaknesses/strengths on defense?


By far the biggest issue, until last night was coming out flat and getting trucked for 2-3 series. Also, pass coverage in general and corner coverage by Stamps and Woodland specifically, although both of them are improving.

If we go to the half down by less than a TD, I would feel pretty optimistic. We are night and day half to half.

kind of love it. I hope it stays this way. I'm sick of Bama/Georgia/OSU/Michigan/LSU dominating CFB.


Chaos is much more fun than knowing which 4 are going to make the playoff around week 6-8. I heard it’s first time since like 1964 since Army and Navy were both ranked. Indiana is wildin out. Vandy breaking in. Iowa St trying to make a case. BYU knocking team off every week. Chaos

The emotional rollercoaster displayed by some of y’all is over the top.
Reminds me of a teenaged girl after a breakup.

The edge rushers have been getting good pressure all year. Especially #4 Swinson who is playing himself into a 1st round draft pick. Weeks at LB has been a terror since he replaced Harold Perkins. Fans are calling him the Honkey Badger LOL. They've also moved some guys around in the secondary and it's paying off where they look like they're in their more natural positions.

They still need work in pass coverage technique in the secondary and with run fits. They are improving though as the coaches have been finding the right spots for players.

Thank you.

So, my understanding of LSU's team is this:

Pass Offense: Superb
Run Offense: Atrocious
Blocking: Extremely good

Run Defense: Good
Pressure Defense: Really Good
Secondary: Mid

Is that about right?

I would be surprised if we won by 10.


We were down ten two separate times to Ole Miss at home. I do believe they are better offensively than you guys, but we were a nat's arse from being blown out in the first quarter against them. I guess I would be surprised if we aren't in the game to the last possession, but its definitely on the table.

I kinda wish we could talk Fisher out of retirement for this one game lol. He never lost to LSU at home, and I don't know why.

Pass blocking when they're not false starting yes. Run blocking not so much.

Yeah, I put that for QB protection. I lumped run blocking with run offense lol.

Dead on for the defense, but the offense has been so damn fluid the last 2 games its tough to say. I would say the run game CAN be very good and showed signs of it last night. Definitely not atrocious, more like average. On the other hand, I would say the passing game is closer to very good than superb lately. Nuss is more streaky than elite and has lost some touch on deep throws, but he is NFL level on intermediate throws and out routes. I was shocked Arkansas gave us the 6-8 yard sideline stab route for basically the whole game.

This conversation is the kind of thing I want with a serious board.

Ole Miss is a lot better than A&M on offense. Their defense is comparable to us. Our offense has struggled quite a bit this year. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on LSU.

We are also 2-5 against the spread this season.

I got 8 bucks in my wallet. The rest is going towards car payments/school.

I would walk to Texas or wherever he's at to get him.

Nah, in all seriousness, I trust Elko. I didn't like his debut, but I know for a fact we would've lost yesterday's game with Fisher at the helm.

It'll be a good one.
