Good: Milroe. What can you say? He’s grown into the role. OL played great. Solid games for Roydell and McClellan. Defense took over the second half. Second half adjustments continue to impress.

Bad: Reichard’s yips. We didn’t need the points but I hated it for him. Shake it off Will.

Ugly: that first half by the defense. They were lost. But redemption is sweet.

Good: Milroe put this team on his back and carried it to the end zone multiple times. We won against one of the best offenses in the country.

Bad: Defense took two and a half quarters to adjust. We finally did, though and kept Daniels in front of us which limited his ability.

Ugly: The Tiger Rant’s excuses and whining. Those clowns will never admit they just plain got beat tonight.

Good: Milroe did everything you could ask of him tonight. I’ll admit I rushed to judgment about the kid. He’s playing his butt off and proving himself every week

Bad: Getting gashed by these mobile QB’s. It’s been a problem and who knows if we can ever change that. And Reliable Reichard missed twice 😳

Ugly: Officiating was terrible. I’m probably wrong but that looked like the crew that was in Knoxville last year

Before we get to us… if Daniels doesn’t win the Heisman then there is something wrong. He is by far the best player in college football this year and it isn’t close. He was the difference in this being a a close game and a 30 point butt whuppin. hats off to him

The Good: Milroe and Rees

The bad: Gary Danielson from what I heard. I have no idea because I was in the stadium

The ugly: Brian Kelly

Good: Our offense the entire game. Never did I think I'd be saying that this season. We didn't punt a single time. The only action James Burnip got tonight was holding for Reichard (more on that later).
Bad: 1st half defense. Daniels was Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson good in the 1st half. 137 yards on 8 carries. Ridiculous.
Ugly: What's been the most consistent and reliable thing about our team ALL season (Will Reichard) was .....not reliable tonight. So we still have yet to play a complete game. But thankfully it didn't hurt us too bad.

Good: offensive playcalling using Milroe’s legs

Bad: we seem to have trouble on defense with 3rd down slant plays

Ugly: nothing
Let me emphasize this. Rees in the last 6 quarters ( this game and the 2nd half of UT game) has called a game that really played to the things Milroe is capable of doing. They both have “grown up” the last two games. One as player, and the other as a coach/play caller.

Good - Milroe's wheels. Bama DB's and LB's. LSU's receivers catching a nasty case of the dropsies.

Bad: Hey defense... Where's the ball? The whole of LSU's scoring in the first half came about because the oldest lesson in any sport was forgotten. Never ever ever take your eyes off the ball. Or, at least know who has it and what he's doing with it right now.

Ugly: Kelly putting a concussed Daniels back in the game, then pulling him after someone talked some sense into the staff. Kelly knew better and did it anyway. That man has no regard for anyone other than himself.

Didn’t Bama punt on the opening possession?

Good: the Bama offense played lights out after the first drive. With this version of Milroe I think we can beat anyone.

Bad: it will take months to get the corndog smell out of T-town - even if all the BBQ joints fire their grills up simultaneously it will take a while.

Ugly: all things purple/gold, and B. Kelly

I love the wrinkle of making the dump passes the our RBs. That plus the oline blocking better is really going to open up our offense.

The only thing that made me cringe was Milroe went for the home run option a couple of times when the receiver was in double coverage, but the rb was wide open.

The more he gets use to using the check down, the more the home run plays will open up as well.

With Rees, he's definitely improved with Milroe plays, however...I wish he'd learn to lean on the traditional run game more earlier in games. Like the first drive and first play was a successful run, would love to see him run it again. Even a RPO

Not to be that guy, but we did punt on our very first drive. 50yder by Burnip.
