With Aranda the exception, the last 6 Defensive Coordinators have been very underwhelming.
Landen Clark definitely needs to see a series or two and stat.
Leavitt should get one more series and then Clark should come in.
Going to be a long night if the defense doesn’t get some rest.
It may be Landen Clark time soon.
Stephen A absolutely owned Finebaum in that discussion. Finebaum looked like he wanted to cry "The SEC is really mad I promise!" "Secret files!" :rotflmao:
The LSU secondary won’t get torched like Louisville is.
Players love it and it’s a great marketing tool in the NIL era. I’m all about these gimmicks now. It’s a different ballgame.

re: Holly Rowe knew

Holly is a legend. She goes with college football as much as Fowler, Herbie, Nessler, etc.
It was so refreshing seeing the cohesion not only on the field amongst the players but with the coaches as well. Too often in the recent past you would see players and coaches combative with each other, deer in the headlights look, no leadership, etc.

None of that happened yesterday. For the first game of the season, there was no doubt Lane was in charge and the entire team was a well oiled machine. Unbelievable for a first game with all of the offseason BS to boot.

Suits for Victory Hill walk

Posted by TakingStock on 9/6/26 at 7:04 am
I see a lot of people complaining online that all players weren’t required to wear suits for the walk. While I get that it seems strange, there is something awesome about the players showing up in whatever the heck they feel like, walking in, kicking arse, and walking out.

That may not be a popular opinion but it shows a level of defiant arrogance which I like. Lane is setting the tone here and I liked how unconventional it was to mix things up a bit.
The excitement that Lane and team have brought back to LSU football. Besides 2019 (of course), and the Miles years, it had been a very long time that I sat through a game start to finish. Not only is it the great play and coaching that make me want to watch, but there is something to be said for wanting to watch Lane being Lane (see his comments at the end of the game to Holly Rowe) and the party atmosphere with Theo Von, Livvy Dunne and Brooks Nader walking down Victory Hill.

That may feel weird to old timers but I thought it injected life into the program and brings back much needed excitement.
I agree. Years ago upsets like this (especially by MAC teams) were common and led to an air of excitement every week. As more and more money has filtered in, particularly through pushing sports betting and the change towards a playoff system, we will continually be robbed of these amazing opportunities to experience what college football once was because the refs are trying to fix an outcome in favor of the “blue bloods”.
Boomer Sooner for sure. Hope OU destroys Michigan.
It’s a shame because it’s easy in this day and age in CFB to pull the wool over the eyes of a WMU and nobody bats an eyelash but 20 years ago those MAC teams meant business. Big Ben, Greg Jennings, Antonio Brown, Byron Leftwich, Michael Turner, etc.
You also have to wonder how much the sports betting angle plays into these situations, besides the typical home cooking and school-specific motivations.
The game was stolen from WMU, plain and simple.
