Fishhead Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Regarding sting making enough of a difference, I don't think it can be discounted. 1. There were interceptions to be made and i bet he gets one. That's potentially a 14 point difference. 2. If he plays, Ricks opposite side, and Flott in the slot...I like that a helluva lot more than Evans and a guy in Ward that was supposed to be out for this one due to injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 And with Stingley out I'm pretty sure even Darren Evans played some. A player who has been with the team all of what? 3 weeks? He's been here such a short period time LSUSports.net doesn't even have a photo for him on the official roster. Again, lots of room for improvement regardless of Stingley playing or not. And from DandyDon.com this morning. Hope springs eternal? Quote As for Pelini, a reader reminded me that in his first stint at LSU, he gave up 461 passing yards his first game against Arizona State. That wasn’t a good start, but he went on to build an elite defense that ranked No. 3 nationally in total defense all three years. On a personal note, this was the first home game in 20 years that I watched from home. I missed the energy that is felt being on campus on game day, especially the first home game. Spoke to a friend of mine who was at the stadium who said their was a "weird" vibe there the whole game. On to Vandy, much cooler temps here to watch the game out on the patio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the old saying, you can't teach speed? Sorry, but Evans is not an sec player. He simply too slow. He absolutely did play and was very evident that he was out of his element. Unfortunately, it's not just because hes new to the team and has only been around a couple weeks. He's just slow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to speed, 3 weeks is a pretty short period of time to pick up a defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) We heard our coaches and players talking before the Moo State game about our defense already being ahead of our where our defense was at any point last year. Quote By Mark Clements @MarkClements225 September 17, 2020 It’s safe to say Dave Aranda was well-liked during his time at LSU. The Tigers boasted top defenses every year under his tenure, and he brought a modernized, aggressive and fun defense to Baton Rouge. That’s why it was eye-opening to hear Ed Orgeron say the 2020 defense—under new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini, who takes a more “old school” approach—was “so much better … than any part of the season last year.” https://www.225batonrouge.com/our-city/sports/tiger-pride-podcast-lsus-defense-already-looking-much-better-last-year Well, I guess you have to play someone other than yourself to really know if that statement is true. I'd say our defense Saturday was worse than our defense's "worst" ( Ole goldenshower? ) performance last year.

Some combination of Ward/Evans still has to play some. and still gets abused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I wonder why we went man to man so much and not try zone? Hell put 6 DBs out there and make them run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are sitting at home reading the last names of your DBs from the back of their jerseys for most of the game, that ain't good. But yes we need to tackle. Todd Harris could have prevented a TD by pushing the WR out of bounds. I think it was Todd? I had about 20+ people at my house watching the game so there were a few distractions. I forgot to record the game, maybe that's a blessing in disguise.

My son's (13 at the time) friend only had a t-shirt and was turning blue by the end of the game. My children could always bring a friend if we had an extra ticket. The only stipulation was that I don't leave early. Funny how time flies that "kid" is getting married in January and my son is one of the groomsman. We still laugh about that game and how I refused to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Ok here is something positive but subject to debate as to whether it is relevant. Myles threw for 345 yards. JB in 2018 never threw for that many yards in the regular season and yes that includes the 7 OT game vs. A&M. Most yards was vs. Rice, in the second to last game of the season, 20-28 for 307and 2 TDs. 1st game vs. Miami was 11-24 for 140 yards. Unfortunately we are seeing the effects of a first time starter not having gone through the spring. They say that the most improvement a team makes is from the 1st to the 2nd game. Never truly bought into that because it should apply to BOTH teams right? Just looking at the score, 17-12, appears Vany gave A&M all it could handle. Sure hope we play better, scheme better, substitute better, tackle better, cover better, block better, run the ball better, pass protect better, hydrate our players better, run the ball better etc. than we did last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My issue with Myles isn't his physical ability, although i wish he were a little more athletic. In that game where Joe was 11-24 for 140 and 0 TDs, we were up early and controlled the whole game. Joe had been in Louisiana a couple weeks. Not in the program 4 years. But the #1 concern I have is... PRIOR to that very game, Joe was scuffling with Miami players on the field, right in the mix, defending his team ACTIVELY. He's a leader. Did he have chemistry with his receivers? No. But he had their back and they knew it and it made them play hard for him. I don't see that in Brennan, sorry.

Nope, and the likes of another Joe Burrow suiting up for LSU or anybody else for that matter is slim. He was likely a once in a lifetime QB. In any event, its going to have to be Brennan or one of the two true freshman who will have to take the team by the reins. I honestly don't care who it is, just somebody step up and play!!!!!!!

Burrow's 2018 numbers were in a totally different scheme, one we were not impressed with. by the way, in chat on Sat. when I asked where was Max Johnson, I was kidding folks!!!!
