Re: Wisconsin-Alabama

Positives: Stave looks like a different QB this year under Chryst and receivers other than Erickson were involved. If they can move the ball in the air against Alabama, they can pass on a lot of teams.

On the other hand, OL and ILBs were big concerns coming in and they still are. OL couldn't open up anything in the run game and then began breaking down on passing downs. Ugly! Have 3 non-conference games now to get that straightened out. The combo of ILB play and loss of Caputo was deadly. The holes up the middle were huge. Tackling not great either.

If the OL can progress opening up the run game and they can get Caputo back with better ILB play, this team could actually be decent by the end of the year. Do have to address some pretty stupid penalties also.

So are they not going to play it at all?

Teams shouldn't be allowed to cancel a game and not make it up. Fans pay a lot of money to attend. If you're willing to not play the game, don't schedule it.

according to Twitter, it was the SEC call and not LSU to cancel the game.

the two teams open weeks do not match up rest of the way, so game will not be rescheduled.
because less than 5 minutes we're played, no stats count, and those couple of plays was just a figment of our imagination.

we now get to open the season @ Miss St next week.

You gotta wonder if all the coaching upheaval the past few years might be catching up to them. I know they have their "system", but it's hard to win when you to through three (four if count alverez) head coaches in four years. Plus, Chryst's track record at pitt was the definition of mediocrity...

There's a whiff of M*ch*g*n Man syndrome with them - they're just not arrogant enough to make a mantra out of it. Chryst is back because he's part of their lineage and way of doing things. What remains to be seen is, if this doesn't work and they finally decide to take a different direction, will they overcorrect like M*ch*g*n did with RichRod?
