Looking at this year from a football perspective it has been a tough year for everyone but LSU has been hit the hardest of anyone. If you just take the guys who left early and opted out for LSU it made a huge difference in the quality of our football team. Brennan getting hurt early on and the hurricane moving Missouri game. Does anyone here believe Missourri beats us in Baton Rouge. Playiing Miss St without any film was a detriment and that team now is nothing compared to when we played them. All the conferences and the Covid trouble including southeastern conference. And players using the opt out and hurting the team culture of playing for each other not just the school. This year is hopefully not indicative of the LSU football team and where it is going. We need to shore up the oline. Get some quality linebackers. Develop a better offensive gameplan. Know our assignments on defense. And bring recruits with the right attitude and leadership skills. Leadership on this team has been lacking. I am hoping this was just a perfect storm of crap this year and we right the ship and start back to being dominant.
too many excuses in there calco.... lots of film available on leach, and e and linehan should have walked home from mizzou, or whoever called that play on the goal line. O is the 2nd highest paid football coach in america. he is widely considered to be an elite recruiter. how many OL have committed to LSU in this cycle?
We have been saying the same since Les was here, no O line, weak LB, bad play calling, and we still are saying it.
I vastly underestimated how much the lack of experience would hurt us. Now that these guys have some games under their belts, we don’t look so god awful on D. O line is the only area that’s not excusable because it’s actually a fairly experienced group. Otherwise, we are young as the day is long and losing Brennan killed our offensive production. Let’s also not forget that we suspended Peter Parrish for potential sexual assault, which also ruined our back up QB plan, but which USA Today conveniently left out of their hit piece. Finish off this recruiting class strong, and we’re going to be a contender in 2022. 2021, we should at least see a top-15 finish.
Not sure if you've been paying attention but we've been fairly strong at LB even back into the Les years. Aside from that little white kid that Les kept putting out there for whatever reason, that guy sucked. Was thinking about this today, coupled with the lack of practice in the spring maybe we are being too hard on them. They still suck, just have to figure out why
this year is about losing the highest amount of aggregate talent in the history of college football. guys we thought were just very very solid starters are turning out to be NFL stars, like p. queen and justin J. we knew the 2019 guys were good and whats why they won. but it turns out they were basically all incredible and close to pro bowl level talent. those guys are tearing the NFL to shreds. jefferson was the 3rd option WR in 2019 and he is catching TDs like mad in the league add up all the talent lost, from queen to burrow and d lew and CEH and joe brady and all the rest and its the greatest exodus of elite talent in history. not even bama could have reloaded immediately after that massive drain of talent and experience. 2019 was a once in a lifetime of sports fandom collection of talent
I think so of it is . They ,the team , are not sec talent . Maybe the lower level of college sports . They are over their ability and cannot compete with SEC teams. We will see this week if I am right or wrong . No need for motivation talk if they are not ready to play bama ,well after this game the team may want to go home to mama .
Botton line is we have too much elite talent to suck this bad. I'm blaming everybody. Coaches, players, even the waterboy. The players most of all. Pelini will be the one to fall on the sword but the D finally looked pretty decent vs the faggies. E and Lineham need to go to.
