Bob Pettit
One of the most unheralded legends in LSU sports history. Yes his jersey is in the rafters but I bet most LSU fans under 40 have no idea who he was.

I have friends that are FSU boosters. They don’t have the money to compete right now. That would be full step down for him even if they paid him.
Call two or three designed runs for Sam in the first couple of drives.

He wants to run. Let him run. I think getting tackled a few times might settle him down and help him get into a better rhythm in the passing game.
Like my toddler. Just have to let him run some of that energy out.

Thomas won’t be coming off the field.
It’s interesting that he pushed Cooley so hard for playing time because Cooley has had a fantastic year so far. Makes me feel good about what we have at free safety.
I think the solution to spears being out is that we are going to play a true three safety look. Benfield, Thomas, and Cooley. You could also see CJ coming in at times, but he has more the linebacker build.
The more film studies I watch online, the less frustrated I am with Baker.

Sounds like Kiffin pushed him to play soft to start the game. That was probably a mistake as we seem to have more success bringing pressure in the second half.
Even with the soft zone, I would challenge any other quarterback in the country to make those throws consistently. When Chambliss sees a hole in the zone, he rips the ball accurately and on time. Not many college QBs can do that.
LSU wasn’t perfect by any means, but they weren’t bad on the whole. There were individual ugly plays, and Ole Miss took advantage.
Hopefully we play more aggressive going forward and try to dictate the tempo of the opponents rather than sitting back.

re: I think they should lean into Leavitt or move on.

That’s fine. Let home be a runner. More designed runs. More RPO. Less drop backs.

If he is what you’ve got, and you think he’s your best option, don’t try to fit a square pack into a round hole.
Two weeks in a row we’ve come out with a bad game plan on offense. Lean on the running game and that includes Jones as well as Leavitt. Lots of RPO game. Basically we become a triple option team at our core and build off of that.
If we possess the ball, I think our defense is good enough to win enough games for us to make the playoffs.
If you can’t alter your offense, then he’s just not your guy and you need to move on.
I kind of think a few designed runs to start would get his confidence up and help him find some rhythm. This outside leads have worked great. Basically single wing football.

I wince every time he gets tackled. He’s all legs.
Burrow was playing in a caveman offense in year one.
re: Baker has stopped Reed a grand total of four times since he entered the game in 2024.

You are not wrong, but I’m still optimistic about this week. If we can’t stop the Aggies on Saturday, then there is big reason to worry.

God please because that nepo baby needs to be benched. Let him go cry into his multi million dollar trust fund.
I genuinely do not believe that is why he is playing. We basically scrapped our entire offensive line from last year and filled it in with the best we could find in the market. But we still don’t have a lot of depth.

Someone will have to get the numbers but designed runs seemed like single digits.
This is not hard to find.
Dylan Jones had 23 rushing attempts. Gauge had three rushing attempts. That’s 26 combined
Sam had at least another three or four designed runs
Totally wrong on my keys for the game Saturday

I thought that if we out rushed Ole Miss and didn’t have any turnovers, there was no way we were going to lose.
We absolutely out gained them with our straight running game, not even counting Sam. The rushing game looked fine.
We also didn’t turn the ball over. The INT on the last play is an all or nothing situation. Any result other than a touchdown ends the game. You can’t protect the football there.
If we do that this weekend, we will win. I think we can also get a split out of Alabama and Texas with that kind of performance at home.

I think you’re swinging too far to the other side. Every year at LSU is playoffs or bust. We should be in the top 12 almost every year. When they expand a 16, we should definitely be in every year.
That said, losing on the road at Ole Miss is not a catastrophe.

If this is the case, then we should just fold up shop and stop playing football. If you can’t accept a single digit loss on the road against the top 10 team with the best quarterback in the nation, then you will not be satisfied by anything less than perfection.
Maybe Saban was right. Maybe our fan base is permanently plagued by catastrophe syndrome.
Or maybe it’s a sign of our society in general more than LSU fans or college football fans in general.
I said that if we out rushed them and did not turnovers, there was no way we would lose. I was wrong.
I think there’s a better than 50% chance we win.

We had two more sacks on him than we did last year. It’s hard to get to that guy. Even when you do, he makes plays.
re: The gameplay against Chambliss in the first half will work against Marcel Reed
Posted by mule74 on 9/20/26 at 7:54 pm to DhanTigers212
People don’t want to hear that because they were emotional about last night’s game, but Reed looks like he has regressed as a passer. Also, his supporting cast isn’t nearly as good as it was the last two years.
Charlie and Lane are about to earn their money.

They are going to have to do some very creative scheming to get this offense to score consistently. It’s not just one issue. It’s a holistic problem and all of the issues lean on each other.
Yes, they have to convince Sam to stay in the pocket longer and work through reads. But that’s not going to work if the left guard and right tackle are turnstiles. And even if the OL blocks for him, there’s not much he can do if the wide receivers can’t get separation. And even if all of those things get corrected, I’m still not entirely positive that he has the needed consistency from the pocket.

Ole Miss was probably the only top 10 team we will play on the road. Seems like a decent one to lose.
