Counter point:

You are correct about Kelly, not Lane. Why? Lane could've gotten the same money at 3 different places and chose LSU not because he wanted generational wealth...he already has that. He is actually motivated to prove he can get to the mountain top. I think his ego drives him to push. He doesn't want to be the only Saban-tree coach given multiple chances at prominent universities to not get a championship. his competitiveness won't allow him to rest in that.

It's amazing how having a lead with 1 minute left in the 3rd before losing is the most embarrassing thing in Lane's career...

The national media saying stupid shite like this will galvanize the LSU faithful around Lane and the team. They've all been waiting for LSU to get the 3rd loss so they can take their shots...I hope they get them in now because we been close on all 3 losses and dominant in all wins which tells me we aren't that far off. The cost of the roster was for an entire roster, not just starters. When we get to year two or three in the system and in the S&C program, I think that will be the indication of how high LSU can go with Lane at the helm.

No realistic person thought LSU was winning the title in year one with that schedule. Fair weather fans and the national people who aren't fans can jump off the wagon. Those of us that are ride-or-die are still here and will be in the future.

Agree to disagree

Saban, Miles, and Orgeron were all in the same situation.

Kelly actually had won some big games and tanked here.

Did Frazier affect his eyesight?

Durham's biggest issue was he can't see the hole.

5* Ahmad Hudson seems to be entrenched to Nebraska

WTF are you talking about. He's committed to LSU and will be at LSU.

quote:

5* Easton Royal appears to get away

He doesn't care about playing for LSU and state. He's looking for the most money to the extent, he's willing to go to an offense that isn't as WR friendly. LSU should NOT overpay for highschool kids, no matter where they live.

5* Albert Simien all but locked to Notre Dame

Again, we don't need to overpay for a smaller OL. There was talk that the LSU staff didn't grade him as highly as the recruiting services did.

5* Elijah Haven to 'Bama

We have Houston who fits the offense better, so we never pushed hard here.


Hudson is the most important of these 5* and LSU has him committed. Maybe something changes with Royal, but if he's looking at $ first, then he'll stay at UF.

He's the most polarizing. It's the same reason several reporters were trying to dig up crap on Tebow when he played.

They want clicks and people are not apathetic when it comes to Lane.

It was the correct coaching call. If LSU goes for it on 4th and 1 inside their own 35 with a 3-pt lead and they get stuffed and lose, the entire football world would be crucifying the decision and rightfully so. You absolutely punt in that situation. Worst case if you punt is you probably go to OT. Worst case if you go for it is UK can beat you in regulation. It's a no brainer.

Also, in OT, Kiffin addressed this in his PC. All of the analytics say kick the PAT if you score first and go for two if you score second.

Here's another reality check.

Joe Burrow in his first 4 games with LSU
52/106 (49% completion)
3 td/0 int and 1 rushing td
731 yds

Sam in his first 4 games with LSU
74/116 (63.8% completion)
5 td/6 ints and 6 rushing tds
1,044 yds

Both QBs didn't get rolling with the team until the late summer/fall and played comparable schedules. Sam has to clean up the Ints, specifically tipped balls. Also, no, I am not saying Sam will be Burrow. The point is that stats within the first 4 games of playing on a new team don't dictate the level of player or success a QB can have.

I think it's a little disingenuous to rank Sam who has played a tougher schedule than most of the other SEC QBs against them in the stat category this early in the season.
For example, Russell at Bama has a higher completion % but has played ECU, UK, FSU, and S. Carolina. Stockton at UGA has played Tenn.St, WKU, Arky, and Oklahoma and against OU he was 14/25, 171yds 1 td/1 int

Let him get fully acclimated in the system and get the timing down with the WRs and then judge.

Have anyone figured out LSU's RB rotation?

---

Yes. RB1 is Jones. RB2,3,4 get decided based on how the others practice.

Berry doesn't play becasue he is learning how to block. He will not be able to play at the next level unless he can. He will have his moment to shine. If he keeps grinding and learning, he'll be an All-American before he leaves LSU.

11-1 or 10-2 looks much better to the CFP committee than 10-1 or 9-2
