Sunday Morning QB- Pac-12 After Dark Edition

[Coach34]

1. No cooking anything good yesterday for me. Up at 4:45am to get ready to coach an 11am kickoff. I hate Saturday 11am kickoffs even more now.

2. Another good win for the Bulldogs. Another money maker for us degenerates out there. Little 34 and Little Wool get fries this Tuesday at BWW's creating another great Dad moment. Draftkings had us at -3 on LSU a couple of days ago. We'll see where it is this afternoon. My guess is around -2 to a Pick

3. Loved the 1st half last night. Pretty balanced offense. We had 98 yards rushing along with 108 passing. Finally enjoyed watching us play a little. Unfortunately that changed as we didnt even run the ball once in the 3rd Q and finished with 106 yards rushing. 8 yards rushing in the 2nd half. Gross

4. Rogers is continuing to do a great job of distributing the football to our solid depth of WR's in the Airbone. 8 WR's caught passes last night. Of course a RB is still the leading pass catcher in the Airbone offense, but it is what it is. Not real happy to see the dropped pass leading to the interception or the weakness of Calvin leading to the fumble and subsequent TD by Arizona giving them momentum and getting them back in the game. Same with Marks but he got bailed out by the D on his. 3 TO's in Baton Rouge likely costs you the ballgame. Got to clean that up.

5. 2 missed XP's- seriously? Thats terrible. Leach made the change after and the next kicker came thru. Kinda makes you nervous heading into next week as well.

6. Pass pro has been solid to this point. 3 sacks allowed in 2 ballgames. For as much as we throw the ball, thats pretty good. Jones and Dolla bill got their holding penalties the right way. They got beat and rather than get your QB hit- they grabbed hold and didnt let them go. 10 is always better than getting your QB hit hard or hurt. Smith not playing too bad so far either at RG. They will be tested this coming Saturday on the road in BR. Expect a couple of false starts in that freak show of a stadium.

7. D-Line has looked very good and met expectations. Very physical. While we have only gotten 3 sacks total in the 2 games- we have put pressure of QB's and forcing mistakes and errant throws. Arizona's QB extended some plays with his legs that both helped and hurt them. LSU has a guy that will do the same. Arizona's extended the play to throw- LSU's will take off and run in a second. We need to make him feel it when he does.

8. We are big on D. Have that length also you look for. Jett's all over the place but still struggles in coverage. He is the modern version of Danny Boyd. Really liking the physicality of our D so far. Depth is playing well. That's the key as we move toward SEC play.

9. Got to improve in Goal to Go situations. 1st and goal at the 2 right before half and we squander it to settle for a FG. We did a better job in the 4th when we got the offensive pass interference penalty to overcome that. Took a 4th down conversion to do it tho.

10. The SEC remains Bammer and Georgia then everybody else. Kentucky and Tennessee are who they were expected to be and UPig is extremely physical. But their pass D is atrocious right now. A&M continues to A&M. Mississippi has a QB controvery and hasnt played anyone yet. Auburn is not good. Really shaping up for us to get to 10 wins- we have to play good ballgames in Lexington and Oxford. Maybe come up with a special game in StarkVegas against Jawja for an 11th win. We have met expectations thru 2 weeks. Huge game for us Saturday against a decent but not good team at their place.
