It appears UCLA was in the SEC last night and LSU is actually in the PAC 12, usually PAC 12 has no defense which UCLA held LSU to 1 yard in the first half, my ole my, and the LSU O line talked about how they were so good in the spring and summer, and cant get a open hole for their running backs. LSU sure could of used John Emery Jr, why he was held out of the game, interesting. The LSU Defense was horrible, where was the strong safety and safety when the UCLA TE, Dulcich 6’6 250 galloping down the field knocking down a defender as he scores a touchdown.
The LSU Defense couldn’t stop a D2 school. Yes we know the PAC 12 is good about scoring but over 200 yards of rushing, I thought the PAC 12 was known for throwing the ball, not running the ball, wow this LSU Football team looked really bad, and favored by 2.5 points, what was Vegas thinking….Funny thing UCLA Cota comes in makes 1 catch and scores a touchdown, pretty amazing, and the LSU linebackers switchoff and couldn’t cover Cota zagging to the left corner untouched to the endzone.
UCLA rb Charbonnet ran all over the LSU Defense 117 yards and 1 td, and UCLA rb Brown had 96 and a touchdown, they looked like Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen in the backfield for the Los Angeles Raiders, as they ran up and down the field uncontested by the LSU Defense. UCLA QB Thompson -Robinson look like a pro style quarterback out there throwing the ball all over the field 9/16 260 yards, and 3 touchdowns, and rushing for key first downs.
Funny we always hear how great LSU is gonna be in the beginning of the season, ever since the Les Miles days, but the games always displays something else. LSU can go on and win the next two games and be 2-1 vs McNeese st and Central Michigan, but facing Miss State on the road, and Auburn at Tiger Stadium, and Kentucky on the road, my ole my Florida, and also Ole Miss on the road, 2-6 before they face Alabama, or 3-5. LSU could end up 5-7, also losing to Texas AM in Tiger Stadium which they haven’t done since 1994.
The bright spots are LSU wr Boutte 9 catches 148 yards and 3 touchdowns, all the other wr made catches, Palmer with 7 catches and 47 yards. Max Johnson threw for 26/46 330 and 3 touchdowns and 1 interception, but didn’t have a running game to show, so that didn’t help Max alot, and running around with his head cut off because the LSU Oline can’t block whatsoever. They sure could of use John Emery jr tonight that’s for sure. The LSU offense can improve especially the O line, for Davis Price to only gain 31 yards the whole game that’s a great job from the UCLA defense.
Back to the drawing board for Coach O and this unpredictable LSU Football Team, the next 2 games shouldn’t be much of a contest, but after that its gonna heat up big time. I must say I haven’t personally written a LSU Football column in 2 years, but hopefully the Tigers bounce back and perhaps go 9-3.
