It was a wtf moment, but I get the rationale behind it. You hadnt stopped them in awhile and pretty much all your previous drives were pretty long, so time was an issue. It was definitely a hail mary.

Lane and coaches are in their FIRST year at a total rebuild at LSU. It was basically Lane, Smith, and Billy Glasscock for the initial build while other coaches stayed for Ole Miss extended playoff run.

Our situation is COMPLETELY different from other teams. What first year head coach is winning right now? Some of you said Stein... He's basically in the situation as LSU with 2 losses (Both blowouts by the way). Some of you hollered for Sumrall (LOL). Chesney is the only coach who has UCLA ranked #4 (Look at their soft as shite schedule).

That $50M brought in what you could from the portal and keeping HS recruiting intact. What other team needed to bring in 3 portal QBs, 4 RBs, all new WR room other than 1 bench warmer, 3 TEs, 3 Oline starters... Then your starting QB misses whole spring and summer.

One of the hardest schedules in the country

Then people forget about key injuries on both defense and offense. Thats a tough situation to be put in. Give Lane and co some time. Let them establish their system. Yes, we can blame individual or key decisions/moments but to immediately pull out the pitchforks and go after them is absurd.

Tosh Lupoi

Supposedly butting heads with Rivera (GM for Cal)

Also, Cal had a bunch of issues with his contract initially and I believe it was supposedly just finalized like 2 weeks ago at 5 years, $22.6M.

Cal has been one of the bigger disappointments in college football so far this season, with a 3-6 record through nine games (2-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference), with a struggling offense and an increasingly leaky defense. After excitement built in the offseason over the hire of Lupoi, a former Cal player who went on to win two titles as an assistant at Alabama and later reached the College Football Playoff at Oregon as a defensive coordinator, Bears fans now are losing their faith in the new head coach.

Co-hosts Brian Murphy and Markus Boucher asked Rivera about the adversity the Bears have faced this year and how Lupoi has handled things so far. Rivera’s answer seemed to indicate some internal friction.

“Tosh came in as a first-time head coach. He did bring a couple of inexperienced coordinators with him. Things didn’t work out the way we needed them to work out on offense.

“He has bumped his head a lot. We have talked a lot, tried to give him a lot of advice, point him in the right direction. Some of it, he’s been very receptive, and other portions of it, he hasn’t. And it’s those things that sometimes you’ve gotta learn for yourself before you think, ‘Oh wow, this is it.’ But I’d like to continue to stress that this is a guy that’s learning, growing. But now it’s time. These last three games, hopefully four, the trajectory has to be going north. We have to show that we are growing, there has been some growth and development of our players, our team, and the culture is getting stronger. Those are all things that you have to have going forward.”

Wouldnt mind him on staff actually

Would love the continuity. This offense could be special if all pieces come back… however, Oline would need to be upgraded BIG time. Lose Braelin, Seaton, etc…

Give me all the luck and easiest path to championship as possible. Injuries happen, other teams have piss poor schedules, and some of you want to win the "ethical" way. Hell, Michigan cheated their way to a championship and is proudly claiming it. IDC if all the opposing starting QBs dont play vs LSU.

:geauxtigers:

Looked like he chewed out someone and was making a motion with his arms. To me it looked like possibly Baker was next to him to his right but screen/video was cutoff and didnt show who was there.

It isnt, but other than that embarassing Texas A&M performance, LSU losses were pretty much all 1 TD or so difference (Bama 11). We thought Baker can at least hold it down enough to where our offense can ease some pressure. Offense is taking bit longer to develop and seems like this defense is regressing. Granted, Weeks, Spears, Anding are out.

My guess is Martin wasnt ready to go in. Probably didnt have helmet with him or was not focused when they took Longstreet out.

Thing is, people think LSU is just “bagmanning” people for the hell of it and treasures are spread throughout the roster. They arent. It’s solely to get the bare minimum to get some sort of a competitive team fielded.
