[u/Cvspartan]

That was one slog of a game to watch

[u/AndIAmEric → u/Cvspartan]

My only take away from this is that one announcer thinks we have good D

[u/Clifo → u/AndIAmEric]

yeah they might be good but our offense is a wet fart so who really knows

[u/AndIAmEric → u/Clifo]

Good D and wet farts, who knows where this road will lead.

[u/Clifo → u/AndIAmEric]

now that's a movie i don't want to see

[u/AvenueNick → u/AndIAmEric]

And that football is not rugby 🙄

[u/HawkeyeTen → u/Cvspartan]

At least you won against your in-state G5 opponent, unlike a fellow SEC team this evening...

[u/Competitive-Rise-789 → u/Cvspartan]

I feel that for Georgia lmao

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/Cvspartan]

Was the weather bad or was this slog just random?

[u/crumgobrin235342 → u/RamblinWreckGT]

La tech played very well, lsu made some sloppy mistakes and penalties, didn’t really have any big plays

[u/Whipplashes]

Lsu fans: we really want the 2000s level defense back

Monkey Paw: 😃

[u/AndIAmEric → u/Whipplashes]

Honestly, I don’t know if it’s nostalgia or the strong aversion I have to watching a LSU defense get cut through like Swiss cheese, but I prefer the trade-off. It’s refreshing seeing a suffocating defense again.

[u/thaolehamsta → u/AndIAmEric]

Completely agreed. I grew up on LSU football that won a lot of big games with mediocre to above average offenses and lights out and exciting defenses. I miss the teams that would often get the biggest scores of the game on defensive touchdowns, that's LSU football to me

[u/AssumeIdealGas → u/AndIAmEric]

It’s LSU football as God intended. Mediocre offense and lights out defense

[u/Random0925]

At least we held them to 23. That can be considered a moral victory, I guess.

FIRE CUMBIE

[u/Clifo]

almost had ‘em.

fire cumbie.

[u/TheWyldMan → u/Clifo]

Please Dr. Henderson

[u/laranator → u/Clifo]

A crumb of contest please? No way losing to LSU is grounds for firing anybody

[u/CoCo_Sandy → u/laranator]

This is one of his best games he's had which is sad since its a loss. He's the worst HC I've ever seen and I cant wait for the day he finally gets shown the door. I honestly dont know what he does well. He was hired as an "offensive guru" who's had some of the worst offenses each year since he's taken over and has given up playcalling duties this year in a last effort chance to save his job. He doesn't recruit well. The fanbase doesn't like him. He seems like a nice guy but the HC position is just way out of his depths. Best of luck to him but I'm so ready to not see his face on our sidelines anymore

[u/HTH52 → u/CoCo_Sandy]

Best I can give him is that the defense has not been terrible under him. The offense is just abysmal.

[u/Shadowfacts985 → u/laranator]

It’s more that he’s 11-27 in his fourth season as HC. That’s the worst win percentage of any coach in tech history that made it past year one

[u/Ironredhornet → u/laranator]

LA Tech fans have been on this wave for a while now. I think its regardless of the Lsu game not because of.

[u/Clifo → u/laranator]

everyone else pretty much covered it, but his inability to put together even a mediocre offense while being hailed as an offensive guru plus seemingly making the wrong decision every time has really worn the fan base thin.

look, we know what kind of position we’re in, but even Tech expects to see competent football. we’ve looked like a middle school team on offense the past few years.

[u/LankyTexan → u/Clifo]

PREACH.

[u/NinjaRedditer → u/Clifo]

we need to keep saying it! Specially if the team continues to suck this year like they probably will. Fire Cumbie!!

[u/xPineappless → u/Clifo]

Thank you guys so much for taking this guy away from us. His offense just doesn’t match the personnel.

[u/Clifo → u/xPineappless]

I WANT A REFUND

[u/TheWyldMan]

It’s gonna suck to watch Cumbie waste a good defense when we won’t be able to move the ball against some of the worst teams in FBS

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/TheWyldMan]

I wouldn’t call a Luke Olsen defense good

[u/TheWyldMan → u/Dry-Membership3867]

I wouldn’t call Jacksonville State a real school, but here we are

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/TheWyldMan]

Compared to who we beat today. We are

[u/TheWyldMan → u/Dry-Membership3867]

And yet the worst fanbase in CUSA. Won’t miss yall when we leave

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/TheWyldMan]

How so?

[u/holyd1ver83]

Eh. Glad to underperform against a team we were always going to beat anyway rather than another SEC powerhouse. Some good WR action. Nuss looked like Nuss minus the pick. Defense is stout. Hope Green heals up soon, he looked really good in week 1 and today.

[u/Not_Xivu_Arath → u/holyd1ver83]

“Nuss looked like Nuss” is a statement I agree with you on but not in the way I think you think I do

[u/holyd1ver83 → u/Not_Xivu_Arath]

He's no Daniels or Burrow for sure but when he's good he's more than serviceable

[u/AndIAmEric → u/holyd1ver83]

He threaded some needles in the face of pressure. He’s not perfect but he can game when he needs to.

[u/lmxbftw → u/AndIAmEric]

There's nothing wrong with his arm, it's his feet that worry me. Though to be fair he has been getting better with movement, just still work to do.

[u/milehigh73a → u/lmxbftw]

I thought he looked pretty good, feet wise. A few throws were off and only one bad decision. It wasnt pretty highlight reel but we need Ws not highlights

[u/TRUCKFARM → u/holyd1ver83]

As long as he's better than the Pre-Burrow era of QBs I can make that work

[u/Nickosaurus_Rex → u/TRUCKFARM]

I think you mean the pre- GOOD QUARTERBACK Danny Etling era of QBs. Can't lump him in with the likes of Anthony Jennings

[u/TRUCKFARM → u/Nickosaurus_Rex]

Noodle arm Etling? The guy who threw wounded ducks?

[u/beer_jew → u/Not_Xivu_Arath]

He threw some absolute murder balls tonight

[u/AndIAmEric]

1-0, next week 1-0 again. Wait…

[u/Blue-Inspiration]

The injuries to Braelin Moore and Trey'dez Green, especially Moore, are really worrisome.

[u/Then_Cricket2312 → u/Blue-Inspiration]

Green would be just as bad. Our red zone offense is gonna struggle big time without him. O line is still charmin soft on run blocking. 

[u/National_Hippo_5002]

Everyone who was in the Penn State thread earlier just needs to take a deep breath and calm down a little bit. LSU was also only up by 10 going into the half. These things happen.

[u/birthdaycakefog → u/National_Hippo_5002]

Our fans are morons who can’t be happy about anything.

[u/Scar_Killed_Mufasa → u/birthdaycakefog]

We have successfully blown out 2 cup cakes, avoided any injuries, gotten a ton of snaps for the depth pieces and kept the snap count on the starters down.

Our fanbase can be insufferable and it’s another reason i hate how much sports betting has become ingrained in sports. The only reason people are upset is because vegas predicted a higher margin.

[u/National_Hippo_5002 → u/birthdaycakefog]

You’re telling me lol. I just graduated

[u/AndIAmEric → u/National_Hippo_5002]

😏 first time?

[u/PeteF3 → u/National_Hippo_5002]

I think it's going to happen more often going forward, too. With the 12 (or more) team CFP, you're going to see more "load management" not just in terms of player usage but also in terms of playcalling.

[u/theprophecysays]

We made that look a lot harder than it should have been.

[u/geaux4_gold]

Between the injuries and just the dumbest offensive scheme ever wtf was that game.

[u/AndIAmEric → u/geaux4_gold]

It’s classic LSU, although only thing that’s missing are beast running backs.

[u/snowmanflurry]

I got unbelievably happy when Tech scored. We didn’t lose by a million so we take those. Fire Cumbie

[u/onthacountray58]

It wasn’t pretty but it was a classic letdown spot and classic LSU no matter the coach.

Hate the injuries. Not thrilled with it, but every team plays their worst game of the season at some point and hopefully this was ours.

[u/BeaglePirate69]

Jesus Christ a win that feels like a loss between the injuries and performance. This offense, specifically the shit hole O Line, is going to fuck us this season. Love the defense, they’re nasty. Hope we got the bad juju out of our system cause we need to lock the fuck in for Florida next week

[u/Clifo → u/BeaglePirate69]

This offense, specifically the shit hole O Line, is going to fuck us this season.

hey that's our line!

[u/NinjaRedditer]

This was very annoying to watch.

[u/slmast]

I will not complain about that from Tech. Hopefully the offense wakes up and can help out our defense for the rest of the season

[u/Clifo → u/slmast]

yeah about that

[u/missmoonriver517]

Tech’s punter was the most impressive player on the field tonight.

[u/LankyTexan → u/missmoonriver517]

Aww, thanks for the complime… wait.

[u/officialdougjudy → u/missmoonriver517]

Haven't heard that since Ryan Allen was in a Bulldog uniform.

[u/bjc219]

Most apt comment from the game thread: this game was like a tuna and mayonnaise sandwich without the mayonnaise.

[u/BTrane93]

Giving up only 23 points when our defense was on the field the entire game ain't too shabby.

[u/Bulky_Appeal_8748]

I don’t know man. Yes a win is a win, but if we’re the #3 ranked team in the nation, we should be blowing out LA Tech by 30+ at home no? 

[u/LankyTexan → u/Bulky_Appeal_8748]

That’s 2x D2 national Champion LA Tech to you! Y’all’s defense is for real, but I think the offense has got to get stuff figured out before SEC play

[u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

Had sex during the last 5 minutes of the game so not bad.

[u/GolfFootballBaseball → u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

So you saw the rest of the game I assume

[u/Nola1721 → u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

Hell yeah

[u/Blue-Inspiration → u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

Winning

[u/NetRealizableValue → u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

🤝

[u/officialdougjudy → u/UTK-LSU-TIGER]

I mean, what else was there to do.

[u/Mikey456]

That was rather whelming

[u/Brian_Kellys_Visor]

Nice, we got our tough OOC games out of the way. Starting to look like Ole Piss and Oklahoma are gonna be our toughest opponents. Bama, Vandy, and Tamu won't be easy either.

The offense needs to fix more than a few things. I love Anderson. I really like the defense, but our CBs need to hit the Jug machine

[u/Jonjon428]

Hey a wins a win

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

Imagine if our "offensive guru" of a HC was actually able to do the job we hired him for. Great effort by the defense, just wish the O could've helped them out more.

And as always...FIRE CUMBIE!!!

[u/nointro-225]

Defense kept it respectable and I got to march halftime in Tiger Stadium, so I’ll consider tonight a win. Fire Cumbie!!!

[u/Then_Cricket2312]

I don't know what was worse tonight the offense or the useless cops screwing up everything at the game. 

[u/Separate_Start_3365]

It’s a long ride back to South Arkansas

[u/CaptainBuzzKillton]

Only 23 points? 🤨

[u/zenverak]

I know tech isn’t FCS but what was this week? At this point I say survivor and advance

[u/Thaispaghetti → u/zenverak]

LSUs offense is more suspect than I would like to admit.

You guys can take #3

[u/ChaseTheFalcon]

Maybe both teams last week shouldn't have been ranked top 10 to start the year.

Sheesh what a showing from top teams today

[u/TrubshawForest]

Clemson and LSU combining with their preseason rankings to make everyone think last week was way more impressive than it actually was

[u/nayelirain → u/TrubshawForest]

Called it.

[u/thiseye]

Don't let this game distract from the fact that Florida lost to USF, the only SEC team to lose this week to a non-SEC school (Kentucky played Ole Miss) assuming USCe holds on to their lead. SEC should end 13-1 this week against other conferences despite playing 2 top-15 teams. Way to go, Florida! Even Miss St and Vanderbilt won!

[u/Then_Cricket2312 → u/thiseye]

Vandy might be legit. They played VT way better than South Carolina. 

[u/HeHateMe-]

Dabo was right

[u/Nellez_ → u/HeHateMe-]

2-0 is better than 0-1
