LSU Tigers (official thread)

Cignetti me!
at first i gave you the benefit of doubt and figured you was joking about him.
but now that i see you are apparently serious, you’re even dumber than i originally thought you were.
Yes but many of our fans still blame him for everything

no, just the O lovers can’t accept just how bad of shape this program was in when he left.
the roster was so depleted and still had signing and scholarship limits (thanks to O era probation) when Kelly was hired so it was going to take a minimum of 2 recruiting cycles just to get back to a full roster.
then because of early signing periods, his first class was signed only 14 days after his hire, so it’s really tough to count that as being “his” first class.
even with the portal, if the players/positions you need aren’t available, you can’t get them.


3. Special Teams- Fire everyone associated with it. Kelly should be ashamed to put that on the field. And the punter should be on the bench. No telling how many yards he costs LSU.

this was the first bad game special teams has had all year.
it was an atrocious game, no sugarcoating that.
but up until last night, Special teams has been an asset all season.

Peyton Todd is not a great punter, but he’s been more than serviceable prior to last night.

Damian Ramos has been one of the more consistent kickers we’ve had in years.
5/8 from 45+ is not bad for a college kicker.

on the 3 FGs last night, quit listening to Herbie and use your own eyes. neither of the 2 misses were bad holds. you could clearly see that the laces were NOT to the back even though he tried saying they were. the part of the ball facing the kicker has to be smooth. and it was for both kicks. The laces do not have to be centered on the front side of the ball. Just away from the kick.

the botched snap was the first one in a few years, so let’s not act like it’s a recurring issue.

High School Columbus Bishop Watterson Eagles

It's ok to not be so sensitive. It's ok to not reply yourself.
How ever you feel about recruiting it’s still against the rules. So when you falsely accuse the team I support of cheating I’m going to call you out on it. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know why you said it in the first place & I don’t know why you continue to try & defend it.

There are 2 starters on Watterson’s team who didn’t come through their feeder school programs. They did however follow their older siblings to Watterson & recruiting had nothing to do with their family’s decisions to send the older siblings to Watterson. Those are facts. You’re wrong in your assertion that Watterson recruits. End of story.

The discouraging thing about Zen, is the staff thought he was best equipped to be the LT out of the other O line members on the team. What does that say about the players that he passed over?
It makes me wonder what happened to Montgomery for sure. IIRC he was always the first guy in last year and came in on jumbo packages.

It also makes me wonder about the amount of money this staff is making and how we yearly about this time find ourselves discussing the weak links and who needs replaced at the end of the season.

Gee, there seems to be one constant in all these altercations: Sparty (twice), Ohio State, Rutgers, Directional Michigan. I'm sure that we'll see some swift and severe punishment handed down by the university President.

Maybe try a true Freshman ..who hasn’t been ‘coached’ up yet.

With around 24 hours to think about it...

Offensively - Zen had his shot, and I understand giving him his shot - good program kid, didn't transfer out, probably works his ass off in practice - but once it became obvious he didn't have the ability, adjustments should have been made then and there. Everyone has their ceiling. You just hope he's not significantly injured because no one wants to see a player get injured. Sadly, while it doesn't typically come down to just one kid, I think it caused the whole offense to stutter a bit and having superior talent won the day, ultimately.

Defensively - The defense needed a game like this - a game where they had to know they couldn't just rely on the offense to bail them out. It happened to work out in a game that never should have been remotely this close though. Still some things to clean up - Iggy being super handsy on coverage is baffling, he's not being taught that - and discipline in the pass rush are two that spring to mind.

Special Teams - they really need to find a kicker who can be consistent from 40+. The art of kicking has evolved to where 50+ is becoming more regular in the college game. Punting was better yesterday - statistically the best of the season so far - and being able to flip the field was very important. Returns were ok but nothing spectacular.

Coaching - This was the best they had after 2 weeks? Why was there no secondary planning for if Zen struggled? Why wasn't there a plan in place to give him support with an Hback or TE, at least every once in a while? And where the hell were the key screens?! Nebraska was looping its linebacker to the running back side (meaning if the back was to the right of Howard, Nebraska was having that LB loop to the defensive left side) to take the run option away from Howard, and this resulted in several 'gives' that weren't there....maybe it'll be obvious in the film study but something had to be open. I don't think they threw it more than twice. And if they are covering the key screen super tight, run a 'key and go' and let your superior receivers to up and get it. On defense there was some improvement but you also saw some of the same inconsistencies from front to back in the scheme so it's not totally fixed yet. Raiola's big run came out of the pass rush being undisciplined and going way too far up field and too compliant when being pushed a certain way. They DID seemingly fix that in the 2nd half though as there was some improvement.

All in all this was, at best, a D+ performance. They survived. On to the next one.

Michigan is not a good football team but unfortunately this team does a lot of things at times that play right into Michigans hands. That game is far from the gimmie some think it is.
I would correct this into saying it's far from the gimme that it was 2 weeks ago.
