    you need girth at some point

    you can't have everybody be an undersized speed demon, you'll get mauled with the running game

    Someone like Beckwith is needed in the middle of that defense. Just like Minter played so stout last year.

    Didn't Barrow get injured last night? Anybody have word on that? They were thinking it was a possible shoulder injury up in the announcer's booth.

    Beckwith and Alexander NEED to be on the field.

    I thought he returned in the second half.

    I read this morning that Miles described it as a "stinger." Hopefully it's not serious.

    Very well said. I think there is a ton of speed this year. Thats not at all the issue. Its reading and diagnosing thats slow. There is also an issue with taking bad angles as well as a lack of proper tackling.

    I agree. The speed I was referring to is reaction.

    I am just wondering how long until we "click"

    I am happy with our progression, still lots to work on, but all in all very positive. I watched a lot of games the last three weeks since I am isolated in the Great White North and we are easily as on track as anyone else. Next week is huge for both the Barners and us. They look competent as well so far and have an SEC win. I'm glad it is at home and wish I could be there. I will be cooking gumbo as usual to do my part! Geaux Tigers!

    Being merely competent against LSU will not get the job done.
