I think the announcers had assigned fouls to the wrong guys. It was straitened out during a break.
Ok that makes more sense, than the way they stated that, after the break. Still pretty odd to have that many changed.

Did I just hear some Gonzaga fouls removed?

I’ve watched basketball for a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of 3 fouls being removed for one team. How is that even possible?

I get that everyone seems to be getting hammered with injuries this year

One thing to consider, regardless of measuring against LSU. Ole Miss has reason for concern, considering the new head coach.
Ole Miss is currently staring at 3 losses and has to still play OU.Two of the losses were blowouts (a 24 pt loss to an average UF team & a 35 pt loss to UGA).
Last year they lost 1 (closely contested) regular season game to UGA.

Your user name is ApexTiger, is that Apex NC by chance? I’m in Concord, NC.
If they end up pulling off the miraculous and meet Bama in the playoffs, where is the watch party?

I’m not sure this team is capable of beating Texas and UT. But imagine the melt, if a 9-3 LSU team, has an opportunity to beat Bama, in a playoff game rematch.

Some of what you stated was accurate, I’m disappointed in the Bama game and felt it was one of our worst performances. But this quote is a stretch.

Also, Bama owns LSU, but they haven’t exactly been a model of consistency since Saban.
Speaking of coach Saban, he had a term for what you just posted. It was called catastrophe syndrome, he came up with it at LSU. It was to deal with the emotional roller coasters, that the LSU fan’s passion causes.

Neither side was great, the INT, but when LSU went up 13-10 in the 4th and the crowd was electric, the defense crapped down leg quickly. That was the game right there.
Offense and special teams sure did their part as well. Punter is an issue, punt return defense, punt returner, wide open receivers missed etc.

The competition (parity) level in the SEC is like SEC baseball, except in football everyone is beating the crap out of each other.
I said a few weeks ago when LSU lost to Kentucky, LSU could lose every other game in the schedule or win them all. By the time you play a team, they may have key injuries and no one has depth.
It’s a wild ride

Beats me but I just read another thread where posters who suggested LSU could possibly win out were downvoted to oblivion while the posters who proclaimed LSU had no shot were applauded.
I think the word used to be catastrophe syndrome.
No one has destroyed this team and they are statistically in the top portion of the league. I think this team has a great chance to be 9-3 and with some breaks can win out.

This ain’t a bad team. I lean that we have a good team that’s still trying to figure it out and the injuries aren’t helping at all.
This is truth
The Kentucky game has a different outcome with your 2 best players. This team should play loose and be bolstered by the return of both of your leaders.
quote:
Yep... the famous "Prevent Us From Winning Defense"... happens all the time.
Exactly this
If you look up most great defenses through the years they all have something in common. They rarely played prevent defense, they stuck to dictating the game and doing what they do well. IMO one of the team strengths has been pass rush, you just can’t handcuff them like that.
quote:
IMO, the punt was a 50/50 call. The second down QB bootleg was a weak call and the soft zones were bad on the final drive.
In normal circumstances, I think it’s a higher percentage play to punt and play defense, but this defense has given up TD’s on every possession to end halves, in road games. That’s just a crazy bad statistic.
You are right, but LSU will be much better as well, with Tredez and Whit back. Also, these heavy portal teams are generally much improved later in the season.
They may get curb stomped, but I’m thinking of OSU a few years back. That team looked way different at the end of the year (I’m sure if you were on an OSU website they were about to fire Ryan Day).

The soft zone/prevent defense DOES NOT WORK. I get not wanting to give up a big play but time and time again that soft zone bullshite bites us in the arse.
This alone has cost the team 14 points in each road game. TD’s at the end of 1st half and the end of the game. Someone on this board, said it perfectly, it’s like watching the Jim Mora Saints against the 49ers all over again. That one coaching correction could change the entire season moving forward.

Understood, I’m the perpetual optimist. I wouldn’t put any money on it or anything, but I haven’t lost all hope yet lol.
I understand, but the assumption is that some key injured players LSU has lost will be back and even the loss of other players won’t sting as much as losing both #7’s. Meanwhile I haven’t seen these key injuries happen to Bama or Texas. I mean you are talking about losing the best players on both sides of the ball and both are scheduled to return.
Win out and all is forgotten.

In an effort to be positive, I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch to think this team could win out. What’s everyone’s thought if this team pulled off a serious run to end the season?
Hear me out
None of the teams on LSU’s schedule will look exactly like they look right now. There will be injuries to every opponent and LSU will be getting key players back in time for big games.
This team is a few clutch plays from being undefeated. The defensive coaching at the end of halves need to be seriously evaluated. Both of the losses boil down to poor defense at the end of halves (14 pt swings in both games). When I take the emotion from gut punch loss out of the equation, I think a run is possible. The 2 toughest road test are behind them and I like this team at home.

re: Can someone explain Baker’s soft zone or prevent defense to me?
Posted by d2 on 10/11/26 at 4:13 pm to TutHillTiger
I have never understood why anyone goes to the charmin ‘soft zone’ defense. It takes teams 55 seconds to score, with absolutely no potential to stop a drive.
In contrast, a regular defense that rushes multiple, different players (4-5 rushers) and utilizes twist and stunts. Has the potential to stop a drive (esp when a team has no timeouts - a sack ends the game), but in rare occasions gives up a big play.
One of the things that is particularly maddening about the special baker charmin package, is that he tries to use regular personnel with lbs and dline in coverage.
