Question guys.

This one has me befuddled. When you have two TEs, one that had gotten raves for a good Spring and Summer camps .... Why do you not use him or the other one in the damned red zone. The USC DBs were like 5'11" and we've got a 6'6" TE in Pimpton that supposedly has great hands, and you don't use him that situation? Did Sloan go brain dead or what?

LSU FOOTBALL 09/03 Brian Kelly Media Availability Notes

L
  • After watching some film, he was proud of his players effort. He liked their preparation, but says they need to finish better. They went three and out when they had the lead and then gave up a score. They drove down the field and had a chance to score a TD but didn't execute and had to settle for a field goal to tie. Then got it down to 18 seconds left and USC was at the 47 and they gave up a big play and targeting to put them in a great position.
  • Liked what he saw from Nussmeier, Taylor, Anderson and Lacy (mentions he needs to touch the ball in all four quarters). Also mentions John Emery and how good his looked coming off his ACL tear.
  • Thought his defense did a great job on third downs. They held USC to 3-9 on third down, which was a problem all year in 2023.
  • Princeton Malbrue seems to have a serious knee injury after the game. Said the imagery did not look good. It happened on the kickoff with the missed block in the back.
  • Kyle Parker has a UCL injury. They expect him to come back, but they don't know exactly when.
  • Says his comments about Moss outplaying Nussmeier were not intended to discourage Nuss. He thought Nuss played very well, but was trying to highlight Moss' plays down the stretch that led to the win.
  • They need to be more efficient with the running game. Says his Oline knows they didn't execute to the best of their abilities, but also says part of their rushing struggles were on coaching.
  • Says his player prepare themselves as well as any team he's ever had, but preparation isn't how you win. You have to play much more consistent than they did on Sunday, especially down the stretch.
  • Says he was so mad at Lacy and Burns for their personal fouls because they've worked so hard to get their mental in the right spot. Kyren and Major were both so apologetic about their mistakes, because they know they need to be better, so he's not worried about them making those mistakes in the future.
  • Thought Zavion Thomas did a great job as a receiver and punt returner.
  • Says they need to get Shelton Sampson ready to play for them. If they get him ready and he can be a focal point in the offense, it really will allow them to move guys around and do different things.
  • Says if Hilton was an offensive lineman, he could probably play. However, that injury at receiver is hard to come back from. He needs to be 100% and needs to be able to be able to change speed and direction without any pain first.
  • Thought the entire defense played really well, but was blunt in saying they need to see better production from the safety position.
  • Said going for it on fourth and three in the red zone was because the analytics said it was the right move. As for the choice to receive the kick off, he said he wants to go on offense first because whoever scores first has a higher percent chance of winning.
  • Thinks they're going to be a better football team because of this game. Doesn't think a team gets much out of winning 70-0 week one. Says the margin is now razor thin, but they'll be better because of it.
  • Thought DJ Chester handled himself very well. He was put in some tough situations, but thought he played as well as a "rookie" center could against a tough opponent.
  • He knows John Emery is a big back who can run you over, but thinks his real strength is in his vision. He was able to find holes in the line and hit them hard.

2 most disappointing things

T
About this game.

1. We were out coached and outplayed in the fourth quarter. If this continues we will lose 3 or 4 more games.

The clock management on the last drive was atrocious. We should have scored and left them with well under a minute to go in the game.

2. The stupid mistakes and penalties by seniors and multi year starters. Especially late in the game.

Lacy’s unsportsmanlike penalty after the TD
Campbell’s 2 false starts
Major Burns taking cement off after a defensive stop
Major Burns offside giving USC a free play
Sage Ryan PI in the end zone
Illegal shift on our last drive involving Lacy, Nussmeier and Williams
Nuss missing a wide open Anderson on the last drive.
Safe Ryan failure to bump or redirect the receiver while playing press coverage late in the game
Gilbert Jardin helmet to helmet hit on same play.

Finally our experienced Oline struggling all game in the running game.

Who's Done

Seriously who is tired of this crap? Fire all of them and start over. So tired of this of this crap. I mean get the damn team ready to compete, no way it should be that close.so sick of being half ass. We migh.t as well hire a 20yr old to run team and wait 5 yrs, to make a winning team. This is ridiculous, the amount of money, for what? Fire them all today. Seriously !

Two things' guys.

southern comfort
#1 Is that our O-Line is not near as good as THEY and we thought. Daniels made them look a lot better than everyone thought and unless he can back it up .... 66\7 needs to keep his mouth shut and just play the game instead of giving an opponent bulletin board material! IMO .... The SC defensive line more than held their own tonight and all of the O-line penalties didn't help their cause in key situations. I believe we had 11 penalties overall, but which side of the ball got the most.
#2 I had us going 9&3 or 10&2 this season with a little luck but unless we improve a whole lot between this game and our next .... I believe we might be looking at 8&4. I also thought we should have gone deeper a few more times. It just didn't seem we had any rhythm. Play calling to me was suspect to me as well. How much do y'all think I am I off with these thoughts?
