re: decent TNF game

Daronte Jones is the Commanders' DC.


And he didn't go for prevent defense, and it paid off.

Now, a better QB probably does make him pay for that, but this is JJ we are talking about.
quote:

This part just isn’t true.

We beat Bama in TOP 32:45 to 27:15. There was only 1 stretch in the 4th Quarter where we went 3 and out and then 4 and out.


This is the stuff that irritates me so much. People make excuses for the defense all the time.

LSU took the lead 13-10 with 3 minutes left in the third. At the point in the game, Bama had the ball for only 3 minutes in the second half. And to end the first half, LSU had the ball for 7 of the final 9 minutes.

The defense proceeded to not even put up a fight the rest of the game.
quote:


Offense has been out of sync all day. Shanked punt leads to a Minnesota TD. Fighting Flecks up 10-7 late in 2Q


It was crazy they were favored by 21 points to begin with.

They've scored 21 points in 1 of their 4 games in October this year.
Texas WRs or TEs seemed to have been called for holds every time they run it outside tonight.
I feel like I've been summoned.
It was one of the most frustrating final 10 minutes of a win possible.

McCarthy is not a good QB, but Staley just kind of let him sit in the pocket and throw prayers downfield. The few times he got pressured be made poor throws.
LSU lost 4 road games last year by an average of 7 points per loss to three CFP teams and the fourth finished the season 15th.

We still fired our coach and he is now a pariah in this city.
quote:

punting is the right call if your defense isn't going to play soft


Disagree either way. You have to think your team has a 70% chance of converting a 4th and 1.

The only difference between punting and not converting the 4th is the likelihood that the opponent will have about 3-4 extra plays in TD scoring range due to the clock.

But even then, often coaches get a little more conservative in FG range - UK wouldn't want to risk giving the ball back to LSU with time left.

It's funny at the time I said to those around me that I wished UK had tied it on that short FG miss because LSU would try to win and not play "not to lose".
Reminder that the defense had UK on a 3rd and 8 in OT. A UK team that was 1/22 from 3rd and long on the season.

LSU proceeded to give up a 22 yard pass.
Because here's Baker in the 2 minute drill:

OM 1st half TD
UK 1st half TD, 2nd half FG

Houston 1st half TD
OU game losing TD
Bama 1st half TD
Vandy 1st half FG (took 35 seconds)
OM 1st half TD

Not a guy I want to rely on with 2 minutes and the lead. And Kiffin is the HC and should know this if the fans do.

quote:


Minnesota calls a timeout and the Minnesota intercepted the pass that would have ended the game.

If Minnesota loses this entire loss is on their coach,


Had he not called TO, that play would have been a 5-yard penalty on Minn anyway.
For decades, LSU fans would claim and cry that the media hates LSU.

Well, they are finally right, because the world does hate LSU. And it is self-inflicted. This board loved being the villain, then acts surprised when we are treated like one?
quote:

The flip pass, even as an LSU fan, was one of the best plays I have seen a college QB make. It was so good! Truly money well spent by Ole Miss and I am jealous that they have him!


It was a ridiculous play, but it should have been a penalty. The center was almost to the first down line because he thought Chambliss was running.
quote:

It’s okay to say both the offense and defense were shite in the first half. Part of the defense’s job is to get themselves off the field on 3rd down and it was a total failure in that regard.



I don't understand why when people criticize the defense, people have to come from the woodwork to defend it by saying "well the offense stunk."

Yes, we know. Both sides of the ball were terrible in the first half independently of each other.

Wait a few years when the defense is bad and people will argue "well the offense scores too quick..."
quote:


Habitual 3 and outs will do that to a defense...


I fail to see how LSU's offense let OM's offense go 7-9 on 3rd down in the first half.
Remember when this board thought we were going to blow OM out?


Hilarious.

Baker is still our DC. The same guy that couldn't buy a stop in the 2nd half last year.
So 2026 Blake Baker is the same as 2025 Blake Baker.

I don't know why we believed anything would be different.

Morris has been the Dim Mak for programs for a damn near a decade now. Never seen anyone torpedo teams like he does, just being in the building.

He should never coach again, in any capacity, after he gets Dabo fired. On the other hand, Petrino is going to save Bill's arse.

Diocotomy on full display today on the same field.


It's frankly impressive just how bad Morris has been since leaving Clemson in 2014.

He completely tanked the Arkansas program, who hasn't really recovered since. Then he got Malzahn fired from Auburn. And now he's about to put the final nail in Dabo's coffin.
quote:


Been trying to figure that one out. Is the rule that the penalty the resulted in the clock stoppage did not cause the injury; therefore, an injury at another spot of the field away from the penalty results in a TO?
Because of the penalty, there would be a stoppage anyway; therefore, his injury wouldn’t impede the flow or give the team an advantage

Can’t find an intent ruling somewhere in the rule book for this?


I was wondering at the time if Moore had accepted the DPI if the clock would have stopped.

Yes, dumb arse


If only Fox would show the rules on the screen and ref could audibly explain those rules to everyone.
