I told you guys the LT was a HUGE issue! And going forward we MUST do something to remedy that, part of that can be playcalling, on field personnel & line shifts to hide this deficiency but this is a REAL problem! And left unchecked or remedied it could make a 9 win team a 6 win team.

We need to settle down though on these other issues. Dan really poorly handled the clock management late in that game though. And it cost us late. But you if you guys think this LSU team is "average" you don't know crap about football. There is a reason that they are picked to win the conference. They have the best RB (to me & many others as well) in CFB. To be THAT big and to make those jump cuts he was making is ridiculous. Honestly had his teammates not gotten in his way (2 times) he would've broken two long TDs on us. He ran into the back of 83 and later his TE both of which slowed him down enough for us to catch him from behind. This team is going to be GOOD and Harris isn't going to lose games for them based on their offensive philosophy. This team very well can win 11 games. Mark it down, they are going to beat Bama!

And to say this, that as good as they are we were within 1 FG to beat this team? And we are "down" about it?

My positives were these: our DL played pretty salty (esp Jones & AJ), Dak finally got in a rhythm late in the game, and I did feel like our CBs played well. Stop dropping your shoulders guys, it's JUST the first game.
