Lets talk about how much **** we are in vs LSU

[Shamoan]

several times, the last damn guy we had on defense (weak side cb, or one of our safeties, made a shoe string tackle)....more than anything, that concerns me. LSU bout to go in deep unless we correct it now. truth hurts....how can we fix it?

If only LSU's first game would get rained out......wait.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

To me, the bright side is that LSU wants to run.

And at least we were semi-competent at stopping that. Against a real passing threat we'd be 17d. Also, LSU not getting a warmup game before playing at our place for their opener can only help.

Maybe USM's trick play shenanigans also helped get us prepared for the mad hatter.

LSU's running game will be a whole lot better than USMs but they won't likely throw it very well. My concern is that we may have to commit our LB's and DB's much more to stopping the run and that may allow them to throw it.

If we can keep them one dimensional, we can shut them down, but if they start having success running and also finding wide open receivers down field, it could be trouble.

We will be at home and playing LSU so we will play on an entirely different level, but LSU is not USM.

I think it helps us but it also cuts both ways. They will have film on us. We won't have any on them.

They can see what worked for USM and what didn't on both sides of the ball. We have no formations to study or plays to prepare for and no way to spot their strengths and weaknesses. This is not so good.

I can't be the only one looking at that OL performance and thinking "oh ****" when thinking about facing a legit SEC DL.

I'm thinking about our OL, and LSU throwing the ball all over the field with guys wide open against our secondary.

 

[HunterDawg]

Manny is going to have to return to being Manny. We can shake up that QB with pressure and stuff the running game at the same time, but we cannot lay back and play zone. We must apply pressure early and often and cause turnovers and plays for loss.

Or looking at The Beard getting pushed back by Southerns RB, and remembering Fournette trucking a defender last year and thinking "oh ****".

 

[CoastDawg18]

I'm with you. I expected to see us be much more physically impressive against USM on both lines. I didn't see enough to make me feel good about playing LSU. We have to step it up significantly.

 

[Shamoan]

we made several shoe-string tackles at our second line that could have been big runs. that coupled with some of the huge holes in our zone should really concern everyone. we have the closest thing to a shutdown corner we have had in a while in redmond and calhoun isnt far behind in skill. we need to utilize that skill and get some run support.

The one problem for us in LSU's passing game is that they have so much talented receivers. Of course, we have no idea if Brandon Harris can get it to them, but if can, it could be a long day.

Would like the scheduling genius that gave us a 9 pm start for the usm game to get us an equally ****** early morning start for lsu. They are historically crappy early in the day.

I would love to reschedule this game to 11am, even if it ****** up tailgating plans for everyone. It would make me feel much better about our chances. Much better.

 

[Faustdog]

I don't know if you guys remember this because it was a really long time ago, but we did beat them in a night game at Tiger Stadium.
