I would like to see the defense that could have stopped Chambliss that night. he was throwing lasers on target all night.


I agree, but also we should keep in mind that if we held Chambliss to one less touchdown (heck, one 4th down conversion) we almost certainly win the game.

The first half was a beat down but for most of the second half we were doing just fine against Chambliss. He'll get his but we were doing enough.
It is 100% a shitshow leaving the game. Both times I've been there they've forced all the traffic to go north on Nicholson, which is fine, but they wouldn't let any of the cars ON to Nicholson until at least an hour after the game. So be prepared to sit.

At least it's sitting in a comfortable AC'd car. (Usually.)

Once you're on Nicholson it's pretty smooth heading out.
I think it's a combination of both. Kentucky does not suck this year.
I'll also add: I would like to see Leavitt take more care of himself when scrambling, because even though it looks like we have good depth at QB, I don't want to test that -- we are going to want him for all 16 games we play this year (and beyond) and we don't need him cutting back in to get an extra five yards but getting a concussion or a broken leg in the process.
I watched some game film breakdown...while Clemson was obviously very unprepared (because LSU ran a lot of types of plays Ole Miss had not run in the last few years, is the theory) the offense that was put out there ran very well. A majority (not all) of Leavitt's runs looked planned (or at least an option) on the play, not coverage problems or protection breakdowns.

Our play wasn't perfect. The line missed a couple assignments or just got beat a few fimes. But there were a LOT of bright spots in terms of blocking as well. The line/blocking overall seems vastly improved over last year.

CLK did say in the press conference that we don't have a lot of tall receivers so we should expect more short/medium range passing.

We're also still getting in sync with Leavitt out of Spring practice and learning who does what best. It'll settle in, but after the film breakdown I have a huge amount of confidence that we have coaches (now) who know how to run plays with the people they have, not the system they want. They also know that on 2nd and 10 you don't have to run a play to get 11 yards, a play that gets 7 yards is perfectly acceptable, especially when you're in an area that you'll probably go for it on 4th down.

Bottom line: will this be the Greatest Offensive Show on Earth? Probably not, but it doesn't need to be, and it'll put up plenty of points because we have a lot of ways to attack, we'll force defenses to prepare for a lot of different play types (some of which they might not see very often), and the defenses will require a lot of communication pre-snap. We'll be fine.

Especially if the defense continues to cook.

I don't think A&M is going to be willing to leave the SEC at this point. They *drool* every time they say they're in the SEC. If they SEC goes down in flames, they're going down with it, especially if Texas is in the SEC.

But I do think the idea that the Big 12 could be a competitive conference in the same breath with the Big 10 and SEC (in all sports, not just Football) has merit.

No, no, no....it's, "SEC, I'm sorry if you felt offended."

We only leave if we are kicked out, otherwise we are picking a giant tab up.


This. But there's no reason we can't already be talking to other conferences to see where they're at so the minute we're dropped we can announce. And also announce our lawsuit for the TV revenue.

But also let's be real. There is no way the SEC is going to kick us out and renegotiate their contract with ESPN (which would be required, per the contract) and lose millions and millions of dollars. We all know what drives the SEC and it's not the best interests of amateur athletics. It's money.

Wait are you telling me…

…that for a few minutes last nite the score was THREE - FITTY?!?

Team of destiny.
I was impressed and thankful. I’m not on my phone much during the game but it’s nice to be able to actually send a text or check stats or the board during a timeout.
So...there are 322 former student-athletes involved in this specific, one-time situation where the NCAA changed the year-eligibility rules, and LSU/Lane -- who is working with 3 of those players -- is the only team/coach that is the bad guy here.

Right.

I thought we'd be pretty good in 2019 -- better than 2018 -- but I don't think there's anyone (outside of the team itself, maybe) who thought 2019 would go the way it did.

This year I feel about the same as I did in 2019 - we're going to be good but who knows exactly how good. Can't wait to find out!!!

Don't know if this has been posted before, but this is the first time I've seen it. Love that his LSU pads are peeking out of both arms.

Fournette was the man.
Why does it seem like whenever we play at Arkansas in the winter the game is first thing in the freaking morning?

Comment on the video:

Warren said that he did get the ball back. The guy who caught it wasn't an LSU fan but sought Warren out after the game and said, "I think you'll might want this." He said the bat was one that he only used in this game, and it is currently in the LSU hall of fame. His batting gloves were given to a boy whose family was a friend of the coach. But only a couple of years ago [like six] the boy (who's grown up now) shipped the batting gloves back to Warren.

May?!
I do like the lineup, but with the way Brown is hitting right now, shouldn't he be hitting cleanup?
I’m here at the game and we’re gonna roll ‘em!!!

Is getting this collection of individual stars to come together and become a TEAM. If that happens, we could have something special folks. But do not underestimate how difficult that is. In this era of ME…how will he get these players to think and act like WE. Excited for this class!


The teams that will be most successful going forward will be the ones who have a coach (and staff) that is good at building cohesive team spirit. You can get all the 5 stars you want if they don't play as a team, and in some cases you can get 3 and 4 stars playing as a team to beat the teams with the 5 stars (see: Indiana).

If Kiffin is good at that (and honestly I don't know if he is or not, but my impression is that he is) AND he can recruit the way he's been doing, then we are going to be a freaking force.

Are we sure? How many OL would that bring us to


15 I think?
