I'll be eating crow for this game. But I'm still not sold. I want to see this team show up and play a full game against an sec team.

oh I'm not bragging on this team by any stretch.

just that using the first possession to cast judgment on a game might be a bit early.

I enjoyed the game.  I don't enjoy beating a cupcake, but someone scheduled it so you gotta play it.  The defense was concerning early on, both pass and rush defense.  I think we just wore them out.  I was glad to see so many second teamers get a chance to play.  We didn't get to see the real Nuss because we were so far ahead they limited him to mostly running.  Running backs, Jackson has passed Cain, it looks like Williams, Diggs, Jackson, Cain.  Cain lacks the speed.  Next week Emery can play.  Williams is dependable, but I think Diggs, Jackson and Emery are more physically talented.  It was hard to judge Jackson; he looked very good, but Grambling was beaten by that time, tired on defense.  Collins looked good at QB for a true freshman, he was not like a deer in the headlights.

On to next week where we find out what we really have.

Diggs is RB1 going forward.
he just looks different.

You misspelled 'is'.  

Savion Jones pulled an Ali Gaye and gained too much weight.  He's a ghost on defense.  Secondary is still a seive.  At least they tried different things with Perkins, but I'm not sure what the hell they're trying to scheme on defense.  In chat we were trying to determine which LSU defense was worse.  

This one? 
Tepper?
Malveto?
2020 Pelini?

I think 2020 Pelini may take the cake, but this one appears to be in serious contention

I do think the team made adjustments at halftime.  We pretty much shut them down after that.

Part of the issue is that Jamar Cain's replacement (Jimmy Lindsey) had to step away for a 'personal health matter' and I am not sure that his replacements have the gravitas needed in tier 1 SEC play.

Maddingly, we often play down to the level of our competition but playing down to Grambling's level was too much to stomach.

Let's hope the team is waking up because the cupcake part of our schedule was broken up to be sprinkled throughout the season instead of front heavy like other teams get in order to have some "practice wins".

ever watched Rocky III?

the 1st fight with Clubber Lang.

Rocky came out throwing and landing haymakers.
then Lang just knocked his little femaledog ass out.

same thing just happened last night.
