  1. Comparing top 10/top 20 wins is misleading early in the season. Or with any SEC team. LSU beat #8 Miami in week 1. The same Miami that went 7-6 and kinda sucked. They had no business being ranked in the top 10. Auburn was ranked #7 when they played LSU, but went 8-5 including a win over Washington and a loss to Tennessee. They weren't terrible, but they weren't great either. LSU played three good teams - Alabama, Georgia, and Florida - and won one. (I don't count UCF because their best win was against Cincinnati, the only ranked team they played.) Texas played two good teams (Oklahoma twice and Georgia) and won two. LSU had more "top 10" wins, but I'd argue that Texas had better quality wins.
  2. It's just a little labor dispute, there's nothing to see here. LSU didn't meet this month's payroll so some of the guys are a little less motivated than usual. Once the checks clear they'll be back in business.
  3. It doesn't really seem like he cares about arbitrary distinctions like "offense" or "defense." It doesn't matter why the ball ISN'T in the other team's end zone or who happens to have "possession" at any given moment. His job is to make sure the ball IS in the other team's end zone at the end of every play.
  4. Umm, what in the hell is going on in this picture?
  5. Johnson was the best, but Malcom Brown has to be high on the list.
  6. Texas 38 Tech 42 I'm switching to reverse jinx mode.
  7. There's been a lot of criticism of the d-line. They weren't the problem today. The linebackers were terrible, as were the safeties. The d-line is supposed to eat up blocks and allow the line backers to make plays. But they are doubling the tackle and end to the play side and our linebackers and safeties consistently take themselves out of the play or miss tackles. Our scheme is designed to funnel plays to the weakest unit on the team. I'm sure Tech and ISU will build off of what OSU and WVU ran against us. I not at all sure that Orlando will have a response.
  8. We don't need a big name staff. We need coaches that recognize when something isn't working and adjust. Orlando is stubbornly sticking with a 3-2-6 that is being easily exploited. He's been badly out coached two weeks in a row. If Orlando won't adjust, Herman needs to step in and make him adjust. That's his job.
  9. Yep. The one benefit of firing him mid-season is now they have a ready-made excuse for the defense sucking the rest of the season. It'll be Stoops' fault that their defense is soft, their secondary is undersized, etc.
  10. Somewhere, Jeff Fisher is smiling.
  11. Their defense didn't look poorly coordinated, they were just soft. Our receivers weren't running wide open in the secondary. They weren't doing crazy Manny Diaz stunts that left huge running lanes. They knew what was coming, they just couldn't stop it.
  12. Surpisingly, I feel like Andrew Beck helps set the tone for the team. It seems like any time there's a scuffle he's involved. There was the story of him getting into a fight before the KSU game because they took up the whole field. He was getting in someone's face early in the game yesterday. Every team needs a few of those guys.
  13. The change in the wide receivers from Maryland to now has been amazing (matched only by the progress the o-line has shown). They look completely different and their mentality reminds me of when we played BYU a few years back. Their receivers were looking for DBs to hit. CJ seemed to look to make sure he got a shot in just about every catch.
  14. There's an old saying - why should you never invite just one Mormon to a party? Because they'll drink all your beer.
  15. Colt threw for 2,570 yards, completed 68% of his passes, had 29 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and a passer rating of 168 as a freshman. He was pretty freaking good.
