We aren't nearly as talented at WR and RB as most of our fans think we are

They didn't shut anything down. We did that to ourselves. A few examples:
The sack put us way behind the chains.Quote:
2nd & 10 at LSU 49
(4:00 - 1st) Will Rogers sacked by BJ Ojulari for a loss of 9 yards to the MisSt 42
3rd & 19 at MSST 42
(3:30 - 1st) Will Rogers pass complete to Rufus Harvey for 18 yds to the LSU 40
Dropped pass.Quote:

(14:00 - 2nd) Will Rogers pass complete to Rara Thomas for 10 yds to the MisSt 39 for a 1ST down
1st & 10 at MSST 39

2nd & 10 at MSST 36
(14:20 - 3rd) Will Rogers pass complete to Dillon Johnson for 8 yds to the MisSt 44
3rd & 2 at MSST 44
(13:45 - 3rd) Will Rogers pass incomplete to Rara Thomas
I would say Rara but hes young so hell have to keep showing those things, Tulu should, he's a little undersized but I would expect him to get drafted off athletic ability alone
I think we are improved. We do get pressure, but Charlton is slow. We played without 2 starters on that DL. Crumedy and Davis. We are going with vet LBs over recruits for that system because they are adapting and lack experience. Over all they do a pretty good. We simply failed on all sides of the ball at LSU.
Drop after Drop. Not making quick decisions. Lost the most important series of the game, imo, when we allowed Daniels to take over with 2 minutes left in the half. It was at that point, the defense looked lost. Our offense didn't help the defense. Muffed punts didn't help the defense.
This season is not over and this out come if not a sign of the times. It's 1 loss in the building of the a program.
Well, in that same game Johnson ran it for 35.
1st & 10 at LSU 48
(3:08 - 2nd) Dillon Johnson run for 35 yds to the LSU 13 for a 1ST down
1st & 10 at LSU 13
(2:30 - 2nd) Will Rogers pass incomplete to Caleb Ducking
2nd & 10 at LSU 13
(2:14 - 2nd) Will Rogers pass complete to Rara Thomas for 13 yds for a TD, (Ben Raybon KICK)
We are a better team this year than last.
If you stuck woody or Johnson in their system they would have quality numbers too, they each have their longest runs equal to Ole Miss's second back Judkins Woody has 1 more TD than both Evans and Judkins they average more yards per rush in an offense tailored for running the football

No Cooter. More than dropped passes contributed to our losing the game. It was also a muffed punt. It was also the lack of an edge rush. It was also the lack of discipline at times by our LBs... It was also the lack of pass blocking at times by Woody Marks. It was many things.
But LSU did not shut us down and thus the loss. We did enough of that on our own.
I hope you're right for their sakes. My go to on draft picks is walterfootball, and he doesn't like either YET. It is still early.

Good thread. Needed this around here. Good points made on both sides
October will really show us what's what
