Kelly and his staph corched LSU to a loss.
He should have removed Daniels from the game by the second quarter and given the other kid a chance. The Holes were crowding the line all night and using a spy on Daniels. They were not respecting the deep and intermediate passing game.
On D, LSU played too much off man all night. They should have been playing bump-and-run coverage to disrupt the Holes WR’s routes, and throw off the timing of Travis. He is not a rhythm passer. He is dangerous when improvising. They gave him way too much space to find receivers.
LSU also had terrible ST play, as we all witnessed. It’s hard to believe that with as poorly as the Tigers played, they still had a chance to tie the game late. Kid fielding punts has hands of stone. 2 muffed punts in critical situations did them in.
The Holes DL looked really good, but it’s hard to judge them fairly due to the fact that LSU was starting a FR at LT, and their line looked hella bad. We’ll get a better barometer of their level when they play some squads that can actually push the ball down the field on them.
They did a good job of using lots of motion and gimmicky formations and plays to move the ball. But as we all witnessed with Danny Miaz’s defense, eventually the gimmicks don’t work when you’re facing well coached teams with greater talent. I suspect that in the next couple of games they’re going to get punched in the mouth and brought back down to earth. They’re gonna believe the hype and get rolled by someone.
