Congrats @LSUgrad2BamaDad - you had a great season with a great QB. Enjoy it!

Ugh. That’s all I have to say about this.

I think some NFL team is going to be disappointed in their drafting of Sunshine.

That was the worst display of accuracy from a quarterback that is supposedly going to to be the #1 player taken in a draft. He wasn't even under pressure on over half of those throws.

With that ACC schedule, he's gotten used to playing without pressure. Last night he never adjusted to get himself comfortable.

That was a fun game. I'm really glad LSU won and I was wrong about this game.

Trevor Lawrence had the worst game I've seen from him.

Burrow once again played lights out. Bengals fans probably feel great right now and they should

Trust me. Be glad as an Alabama fan you don`t live in Louisiana if they know you`re one. The LSU fans are borderline insufferable when LSU is just mediocre, I can`t imagine what it`s like this morning. I`ll bet Tim Brando`s so obnoxious right now it`s unbelievable.

FIFY.

My observations about us this year and from watching LSU and Clemson get after each other's Quarterbacks, is that when you are chasing the QB you upset that teams game plan.
I've said all year that we needed to be on their QBs to prevent them having time to find receivers. to force earlier throws ect...
In particular I watched Clemson's Defensive line and what they did to get into LSU's backfield.
There are ideas here that we could add to our arsenal.

I didn't see Clemson doing that so well except when they had LSU backed up, but I did see LSU completely discombobulate Trevor Lawrence. I've said it a thousand times I'm tired of Alabama's front 7 dancing with the enemy when they need to be swimming and slapping themselves past the blocker and wrecking some lives. It's as if our goal is to control the blocker instead of kill the man with the ball. I've seen this technique before and there is some logic behind it to keep the linebackers clean but that's only useful when you have a CJ Mosley at linebacker. Even if we had that type of linebacker the one thing that messes up offense more than anything else is Chaos. We are way too predictable, everybody who has the horses knows our plan and how to defeat. Yes we had tons of freshman playing who were not ready, but experience alone will not get us back to a championship. We need schematic or even philosophical adjustments to counter what's happening.

So, no change there.

well I happen to be one that lives in the New Orleans area so I guess I’ll see. So far my true LSU friends/coworkers haven’t been but I’m sure I’ll encounter a few obnoxious ones.

I am glad that Clemson lost in grand style. The game was fun to watch, but on to the 2020 season.

Roll Tide!
Go Bucks!

 

[Tom Biddle]

Weren't these Les Miles players?

No, he was fired in September of 2016.

I made the comment last night that last year against Alabama every pass within 10 feet of Higgins, Ross and the other Clemson receivers was caught. It was almost like Lawrence channeled his inner “Stephen Garcia”.

When the catchable ones early weren’t being caught, Lawrence started pressing and it was over.

Even Clemson’s last TD that cut the LSU lead to a FG was spearheaded by them running the ball, not Sunshine flinging it all over the field.

Look - I've just at best hit around that fact and for the obvious reason: point out he's not the next Johnny Unitas and the first thing out of anyone's mouth is, "Oh, it's just sour grapes because he dismantled Alabama" (which isn't true, but he did beat us).

But once again - last night should serve as a warning to the NFL about these guys with dazzling stats obtained by playing teams that can't recruit defensive players worth a damn.

 

[CoachJeff]

We don't even know who the LSU QB for next season will be either. Whoever starts for Bama will be better than any LSU QB.

My guess is it'll be the guy from Houston that just redshirted. He's a good athlete, but not a great passer.

I've avoided Facebook --

People keep asking me "did you watch?"

Me...."nope"

Them......"I thought you loved College Football?"

Me......"nope.......I love Alabama football"

Them.......crickets.....as I turn and walk away

I think some NFL team is going to be disappointed in their drafting of Sunshine.

He's a player and does a lot of little things well, but I don't think his accuracy is great. He does have guts, though, and so does Burrow.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Thank you LSU for dampening the "Dabo is better than Saban" nonsense a little. I appreciate it.

Enjoy this for now because we are coming for you.

RTR!

I have spoken.

So is clempson still the ernge hulk?
