THE GOOD Old-time, slobber-knockin' LSU goal line stand Speedy receivers were getting open. The punter hangs them up HIGH. Sometimes high and long. Punt and kick coverage teams look sharp Holiday looks like he can be an effective third RB Defense seemed fired up and ready to play THE BAD Jefferson still has not demonstrated an SEC-caliber downfield passing capability. Speedy receivers were dropping passes We are still getting no significant pass rush from the DL Missed tackles are still a problem Offense seemed to be flat and uninspired THE UGLY Ciron Black gets his 3rd drive-killing penalty in 3 games. The OL is getting beat inside and failing to open significant holes Jefferson's pocket is too small and collapses too quickly.
The Ugly I see no change in defensive scheme. We are still soft zone 75% of the time. We were getting blocked consistently by what was probably the worst oline we will play against. This is scary. We could not block what was probably the worst defensive line we will see all year. No time to throw, no holes for the backs. This is even more scary.
It did appear that Chavis added two new blitzes to the scheme last night. The LB blitz, where Cutrera somehow completely missed the QB. What? And the corner blitz where Peterson was just a half step too late.
USL's O-Line is the best we've seen so far. They are experienced and better than you give them credit for.
eugene forced the INT off the CB blitz and i think the rb clipped cutrera on the blitz but it was hard to tell
Yes, that was cool. It was a new blitz, and Peterson looked just disappointed enough that he didn't get the nasty sack that I don't think he'll miss in the future. I imagine he can just taste laying that sick hit on Cox or McElroy or Snead or TEBOW.
