No reason for mizzou to go for that late in the game last night. An easy field goal gets you to an 8-point deficit.

Going for it and failing lost the game for his team. That’s not a good look for any candidate
Another issue is if we are fortunate to get good pass blocking to give our QB a good pocket and our receivers are somehow able to get open downfield, van Buten still had a difficult time hitting them as he is woefully inaccurate.

His arm strength isn’t lacking. Just his ability to hit a barn
This team will score, but ultimately we go as far as our defense will take us. That’s a little unfortunate at this point. We haven’t been strong defensively under McMahon yet.

Mackinnon struggles defensively when he’s on the ball although his length helps him a little. I hope he’s not starting when conference play begins. I think Reed or Miller might have to pick up the slack for Tamba, who seems kind of similar to Dji Bailey in what he’s asked to do.

This is unquestionably the best team McMahon has fielded at LSU, but I don’t think we really know what that means yet
Thomas is better than Reese, who is a true freshman and has struggled a little in his first few games at LSU, but Reese actually was a pleasant surprise today. He had a very good game, which is a good thing to see. Thomas will need the help
Is he coaching for us or against us? Either way we’d still have to know them
I think morris could follow the Burrow-blueprint and have us contend pretty quickly.

He’s shown he can recruit, coach and develop quarterbacks. He’ll have receivers at his disposal in Louisiana. He’s known to gain lots of yards through the air. A flashy offense will definitely make people happy.

All he’d need is a pretty good D coordinator if he puts up points as he has. We already have one of those.

I don’t know that anyone can outdo burrow and company, but morris, I think, can give it a shot as well as anyone maybe.

And he’s got to be comfortable in the area already given his current recruiting terrain at North Texas.

It might not be everyone’s first choice, but I don’t see how it would be considered a bad one
Personally I believe we need someone who can run when it all breaks down, but his accuracy needs lots of work. He threw behind lots of receivers yesterday

I just hope zipper plays at some point.

This isn’t the first time we’ve had bizarre absences under McMahon’s tenure and, to make things worse, not much reasoning or explanation behind it.

Remember when McMahon claimed he couldn’t find a good time to get Tyrell Ward in the game when he began as a true freshman? Or cook, who I suppose was an issue independent of McMahon, but now we have another guy who mysteriously isn’t playing…
It’d be different if zipper were a third-stringer (maybe he is but I doubt it), but I think he should help this team. And the preseason projections suggest we need ad much help as we can get
They said miller has an ankle injury. They didn’t make it sound like he would miss tons of time but the bigger question that went unaddressed was where was the Zipper?

Reece looked pretty god defensively it we struggled when Thomas was off the floor. I thought Mackinnon looked good. Considering we were without Miller and zipper and Reed was still getting acclimated, I’ll take the victory

Well at least we won without miller, no zipper and a rusty reed.

Part of that sounds like a bad band name

I don’t even see him on the sidelines. I know he was practicing at some point, so I’m pretty sure he’s on the squad
So we can move the ball but have close to zero to show for it. In fact, possibly the least efficient in football.

Kelly has been struggling with this since day 1 here. Our quality drive is actually nonexistent based on that graph. For us, we merely have drives that purely lack quality no matter how it’s defined. This is quite ludicrous.

He loves to blame the team for not playing complementary football, yet he fails to realize it starts with him as coach. To keep it simple, I can just leave it as he fails
If I’m a coach, I’m telling curne, ‘hey, the one play you gotta know is to block the hell out of the guy in front of you.’

I think that advice would do wonders compared to what we’re getting out of some of our olinemen.

That’s your play: block the dude you see.

It’s not like they have a diverse route tree or have to worry about the details that safeties or linebackers need to learn.

Maybe oline is a cerebral position, but I always thought the reason olinemen struggled to see the field was more physical as in strength, etc
‘Some would say I'm not getting it done now’

Does he really think it’s limited to some? I suppose there are people in Greenland who have never watched football before…

Chester gave up a sack when his ‘foot got caught on the ground?’ You know, battling that ground can be damn near impossible. No wonder we suck on the oline
I don’t understand that at all. Maybe he has a bright future but that’s somewhere down some road.

The point is he doesn’t have a bright present… so what’s the point? He’s costing us now. He’s costing Kelly now.

We know he’s costing the fans a ton. I don’t think his NIL makes up for that. Nobody’s does
