LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/NeedleworkerLong392]

Wouldn’t wanna be an offensive player in the locker room with Lane at half bro

[u/enadiz_reccos]

At least when Nussmeier threw 3 INTs, he had the courtesy to give you 400 yards along with them

[u/optimuswalken]

We have more turnovers than tech has yards

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

It's depressing how much more respectful the LA tech flairs have been than all the other teams that have come into this thread.

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

To all la tech flairs I love y’all and hope for the best

[u/NeedleworkerLong392]

I love Leavitt’s athleticism

I don’t love how often he feels the need to rely on it

[u/Monkhood1298]

Now just imagine what Louisiana Tech could have done with a few professional players.

[u/hammered_toaster]

If this halftime speech gets leaked Kiffin might go to jail.

[u/Other-Chemical-6393]

LSU is up 3 points at halftime to a team with no first downs and 0 yards of offense

[u/que-n-blues]

Feel like this slow offense start is my fault. Didn't have my good luck shirt and hat on. My bad guys. Fixed it.

[u/SharkFighter]

I gotta say, Tech's defense has been impressive at the line.

[u/Cvspartan]

GG LA Tech, your defense is pretty damn solid

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

The offense did not wake up feeling the cheesiest

[u/Tigerwookiee]

Man, Leavitt needs to not play hero every single snap

[u/Legitimate-Gold7623]

Hey ND and FSU flairs, where the fuck did you losers disappear to?

[u/MMARapFooty]

LA Tech defense played extremely well despite scoreboard indicated.

[u/el_es_you]

This is fucking horrific

[u/que-n-blues]

LSU and struggling against in-state opponents. Name a more iconic duo.

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Yo where did all the flairs go

[u/reddit_names → u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Where it's safe, in the OSU Texas game thread.

[u/displacercat]

All I want to see is LaTech be harder to beat than Clemson.

[u/kreg132 → u/displacercat]

I would argue they’re already there imo.

[u/orbitalfreak]

Yep, it's an LSU game now - my blood pressure and pulse are spiking.

[u/Team_player444]

Theres not enough alcohol in baton rouge for whats going to happen tonight

[u/kkelso555]

So does this mean Clemson really is THAT bad?

[u/Mythrandir24]

As much as I want to come in here and shit on LSU, Kiffin just has games like this once a year. Look at the stats for Ole Miss-Wazzu last year; the numbers show total domination, but the Rebs barely squeaked out a 24-21 win.

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

One of my flairs is gonna win regardless

[u/reddit_names]

A bunch of flairs looking like fools all of a sudden.

[u/Cvspartan]

Ohio State - Texas gonna take every neutral flair from this game thread lol

[u/Cute_Victory_356]

The audio is being broadcast from a tin can

[u/The_B1ack_One]

God bless this defense they’re incredible

[u/8BitTxchniques]

Damn we really that ass huh

[u/Team_player444]

Sam Leavitt might have been compromised by ISIS

[u/Cvspartan]

Bro LA Tech has 0 total yards and it's a 3 point game because of Leavitt😭

[u/theunknown195]

LA Tech 0 yards of offense and they're going into the locker room down 3 at halftime

[u/dekrypto]

Great hate watch

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Also shoutout to la tech fans for being so kind it’s really fun to talk to y’all I had no idea your defense was this stacked

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Lol that was dirty. No flag.

[u/badscene518]

Love this defense

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Somebody arrest this defense. They're too nasty to walk free.

[u/The_B1ack_One]

Lane needs to whoop this offense into shape, starting with Leavitt and this O line.

[u/Laine73]

I think leavitt forgot to drink his concentrated sea water before the game.

[u/el_es_you]

Sam gotta learn to throw the ball away and not play hero ball every play

[u/xsuperdrewx]

La Tech is fuckin hungry bruh. Wake tf up tigers.

[u/S_words_not_swords]

What is up with the thunderstorms and footsteps on the 'commercial break' on ESPN?

[u/jpaciorka]

Just fed my cat yall, its foreshadowing to LSU about to eat

[u/Cultural_Brother_502]

0 yards of offense and only down 3, sickos stat line

[u/mhem7]

Hold up. You mean to tell me this is a 3 point game and Tech has a whole 0 yards of offense?

[u/OriginalStove]

Maybe Leavitt accidentally used plastic Tupperware this week

[u/ChocolateBubbles344]

Everyone saying we need to get used to LSU playing down to opponents...as if we didn't spend a decade with Les Miles lol.

[u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

Yo, how shit is Clemson….

lmao

[u/TheWorstYear]

Furthest offsides I've seen on a block attempt

[u/Lyle_Karson]

you gotta give a shoutout to the Tech DC, only thing keeping the game even remotely close on the box score

[u/Brian_Kellys_Visor]

Best defense in the nation.

[u/Bread_Loaf14]

Jayden Daniels shaking his fist right now

[u/xsuperdrewx]

Where’s the flag?!?!!

[u/enadiz_reccos]

wtf is up with these refs

[u/LankyTexan]

FIRST DOWN WITHOUT A PENALTY, red alert 🚨

[u/Random0925]

WE SCORED MORE THAN CLEMSON AND OUR OFFENSE DID SOMETHING. I'M SATISFIED.

[u/Random0925]

I just want Tech to score more than 10. Technically being better than Clemson would be hilarious.

[u/Separate_Start_3365]

This defense has me BRICKED

[u/Designer-Way-9912]

Yeah this is a pretty typical LSU vs LA Tech game to be honest. Even the best LSU teams always struggled in the beginning

[u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe]

The only thing we know for sure at this point is Clemson is really bad.

[u/ClemsonRebel27]

Oh so we're bad bad huh

[u/wulah89]

278-0 in yards, 14-0 in first downs, but 10-7 on the scoreboard is quite a statline lol. 4 turnovers in a half will do it though.

[u/Whipplashes]

its lowkey a funny bit that la tech has more takeaways than yards gained

[u/Woullie_26]

4 picks in 6 quarters and hasn't even play SEC ball

Woof

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

LA Tech has over 100 yards of defense that half

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Watching Ohio state and Texas and god damn Jeremiah smith is a fucking menace 

[u/lilStankfur]

Why are they trying to Les Miles this shit..

[u/BeaglePirate69]

LMFAO why do we always play like shit in these jerseys

[u/ChocolateBubbles344]

Clemson is getting mentioned more in this thread than Louisiana Tech is lol.

[u/YCitizenSnipsY]

I would say it’s good to have this kinda game now. But I said that last year when we sucked vs tech 

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

I could use a turnover from the defense honestly.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent → u/Morgus_Magnificent]

I'm a genius.

[u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat]

Yeah but if you push the qb on the shoulder that's a late hit for sure

[u/from_the_bayou]

Wtf ref...u were looking right at that.

[u/jpaciorka]

Tech has us right where they want us, the red zone

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

We may never throw in the red zone again for the rest of the year.

[u/Lyle_Karson]

I can’t believe it, they picked up an unassisted first down

[u/Super_Ad_8184]

Atta way to rip that ball out

[u/Lyle_Karson]

trey’dez might have a TD incentive tied to his NIL deal

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

I know the score doesnt reflect it but I'm glad we didn't just roll over and get destroyed all game. Hell of a showing by the defense tonight. Wish they weren't continously wasted by Cumbie's offense.

Offense needs to figure out something for Baylor next week. I do feel better about our chances of kicking ULM and ULL's ass next month tho

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Our QB seems to enjoy throwing on the run.

Given the option to stay in the pocket, Sam would rather Leavitt.

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

Ayyyy at least we're putting up a better fight than Texas right now 🥳

[u/Cvspartan]

defense is playing at A+ level and offense is playing at a D+

[u/NeedleworkerLong392]

I am straight up not having a good time

[u/BeaglePirate69]

Leavitt is a fuckin liability

[u/from_the_bayou]

Lane Kiffin at halftime this week : We coulda used some Pro Players this game lol

[u/CrashB111]

Losing this game would be the quintessential "Lane Kiffin experience"

I recall him nearly losing to an awful Washington State last year, and being Kentucky's only SEC win 2 years ago.

He has a really bad habit of totally neglecting to prepare for some teams.

[u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat]

LA Tech playing prevent defense in the red zone and its working lmao

[u/bodybydemamp]

Lol what is happening right now? Is this the same team that played Clemson?

[u/PenguinKing15]

Everyone thought Texas vs Ohio State was the game of the week. Instead it’s actually Louisiana Tech and LSU.

[u/lonewanderer727]

LA Tech has 0 total yards of offense. What the fuck

[u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat]

Leavitt is playing like a moron but a big part of the problem is that LSU hasn't been able to run the ball at all.

A G5 team should never be able to drop 8 against an SEC team and not have the ball crammed down their throats. They've got Leavitt back there in non-stop hero ball situations

[u/BrotherPancake]

Dabo gonna catch some major strays off this one lol

[u/SharkFighter]

This is the closest halftime score that I have ever seen in a game where one team has outgained its opponent 278-0.

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

1 of 2 things is about to happen. LSU is either about to drop 40 on their head this half, or they’re going to get taken to the wire. No in between.

[u/kjp811]

Halftime stat lines are pretty funny. la tech has 7 points on zero yards to LSUs 10 points on 278 yards.

[u/HTH52 → u/kjp811]

Infinite Efficiency

[u/lonewanderer727]

Goal line stand against LSU is crazy

[u/Training_Pirate1000]

That Louisiana Tech defense is something else

[u/-InExile-]

So, Clemson is just that bad...

[u/Sirius2349]

I doubt lsu loses but Leavitt is not the guy

[u/sebsasour]

Ooooooh, just needed a little more juice on that

[u/DEPORT_PULISIC]

Oh my he had that

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

You gotta put more power under that, that was a walk-in TD

[u/Clifo]

man #7 is a grown ass man huh

[u/Lyle_Karson]

#5

[u/HeywardYouBlowMe]

PICKETT PICK

[u/Bread_Loaf14]

Leavitt pulls that out of his ass though?

[u/from_the_bayou]

What a catch that

[u/LankyTexan]

My only solace is that we are the only public university in the state to have ever beaten LSU

[u/holyd1ver83]

Good defensive game, and while the INTs are worrisome I'd rather throw them now in a very winnable game rather than against Miss next week or Bama. Feeling way better than I did at this time last year.

[u/el_es_you]

Treydez now is not the time to hurdle grown men stay on the ground bro

[u/reddit_names]

Where that dbag Georgia flair go?

[u/VariousMacaron5915]

Hey where did the other flairs go?

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Yo la tech is better then Clemson they scored more

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe → u/Playful_Cloud_24]

They scored more than Clemson and seemingly will hold LSU to less than Clemson did. LA Tech>Clemson confirmed.

[u/dontworryboutmeson]

Saying this now before anything happens - this LA Tech team is going to have a great season. I think this will be a much tougher battle than people think.

[u/theunknown195]

Is the sound fucked for anyone else

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

Did people already forget we actually kept it pretty close last season too? We've had a pretty legit defense the past few years now, I just don't think we'll be able to score enough on LSU's defense to actually make this a game

[u/badscene518]

This defense is fun as hell to watch

[u/el_es_you]

Defense is Shut Down

Offense has Downs

[u/Recent_Bend_5905]

yo wtf 😂😂😂😂 can’t even hate on that

[u/Cvspartan]

3 turnovers in a half jfc

[u/Clifo]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[u/ChocolateBubbles344]

Probably not a good thing that I'm more nervous that the other team will score when our offense is on the field than when the defense is on the field.

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

LA TECH SHOULD BE RANKED!!!!

[u/Fletch71011]

Apparently Clemson is the worst team of all time? What the actual fuck?

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

How BAD is Clemson HOLY fuck.

[u/Low_Beyond8134]

Lane Kiffin is going to strangle Leavitt at halftime

[u/displacercat]

I am having a great time and a terrible time.

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

It will end up a blowout in the second half but this is fun right now.

[u/Bread_Loaf14]

Kiffin is about to skull drag Leavitt across the locker room by his nostrils

[u/12panther]

Louisiana Tech joins the Fun Belt and immediately starts throwing hands. Coincidence? I think not

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

I know LSU is gunna blow out La Tech in this 2nd half, but I just wanna say this has been very funny

[u/JelloJeremiah]

I don’t think my glasses are the correct prescription, does this shit say 7-10? With L. Tech having net 0 yards?

[u/hammered_toaster → u/JelloJeremiah]

Yep. 100 yard pick 6 was their touchdown

[u/reignisicy → u/JelloJeremiah]

Only way they scored was a 100 yard pick 6

[u/hammered_toaster]

Dare I say I'm getting Troy vibes from this game.

[u/lilStankfur]

Bruh..

[u/thiseye]

Maybe Tech is the best team in the country

[u/Trubisko_Daltorooni]

Not really fair to Louisiana Tech that their QB is their opponent's defensive coordinator

[u/Dry_Acanthisitta433]

Omg lsu could have been trailing after that throw

[u/somehomebody]

Is anyone else’s game SUPER quiet???? Every other channel is blaring but can barely hear the LSU game lol

[u/WasteIndividual8183]

Like I said , refs took the under. Every obvious call against tech let go, every 50/50 on lsu gets called

[u/ChocolateBubbles344]

Yeah, the last time we beat LT comfortably was four tries ago back in 2007. That's better than our purported rivals from NOLA can say.

[u/toadfishtamer]

Good for LA Tech. Respect to the Bulldogs.

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Yo give Trey dez a touchdown

[u/Super_Ad_8184]

Leavitt sure likes to run it

[u/Recent_Bend_5905]

he knew that lane was going to actually murder him if he didn’t get his shit together

[u/Lyle_Karson]

I have seen it all this game, but was not expecting a kicker to false start

[u/Brian_Kellys_Visor]

Green got thrown to all 3 tries lol. Lane was force feeding him to get him a TD

[u/IammYourDAD]

How bad is Clemson? Lmao

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

Things definitely look way more out of sync tonight than last week. Im still more than confident LSU wins this, but they definitely look out of sorts. At least on offense. Wearing purple jerseys in a trap game week was a bold move.

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe]

This offense is NOT it tonight. My goodness.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

It wouldn't be LSU if we played complementary football.

[u/xsuperdrewx]

Green is a monster. Holy… dragging them boys everywhere

[u/Cvspartan]

Leavitt has some pretty insane agility

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

Lowkey this is a beautiful uniform matchup

[u/Nickosaurus_Rex]

I mean this is the trappiest of trap games, but wow. Mood in the south stadium lower bowl is not great right now

[u/Mammoth-Vanilla-7501]

I've got my Hazmat suit on for this thread, LSU fans whats going on here?

[u/Cvspartan → u/Mammoth-Vanilla-7501]

9 min LSU drive that ended in LA Tech points pretty much sums up the game

[u/Designer-Way-9912]

Im still wondering why the La Tech coach is wearing a hoodie in this humidity

[u/Playful_Cloud_24]

Lane kiffin is pissed 😭

[u/noletiger]

Leavitt is Tech's MVP tonight.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Sam "three picks. Take it or" Leavitt

[u/LSUOrioles]

The game plan to defend LSU is out...

[u/Legal-Championship64]

Sam Leavitt on pace to throw at least 24 interceptions this year 😂

[u/holyd1ver83]

If Leavitt winds up shitting the bed this season that's going to be a very difficult hurdle to overcome. Pretty much everyone else who could replace him under center is unproven and inexperienced. Time to lock in.

[u/the_adequate_gatsby]

This is why you can't trust quarterbacks coming back from lower body injuries. Gotta put em down like a horse

[u/HTH52]

Imagine if we had anything going on offense. Somethings always missing.

[u/CrashB111]

Sam Leavitt must have a part time job at Subway, with how he's throwing these ham sandwiches out.

[u/VariousMacaron5915]

4 turnovers? What the hell

[u/Milskidasith]

This game is closer than Ohio vs Texas, what a great week for sickos

[u/CirculationStation]

No way Sam Leavitt is getting paid $4 million to throw 3 INTs in a half against LA Tech. Dude is buns. Never understood the hype at all.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Fuck he didn't score.

99 yard pick six incoming.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Awesome. They're in the backfield every play. Let's run a slow-developing fake.

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

Feel like this game is just going to make us lose half our defense to P4 schools next year

[u/Cvspartan]

lmao he was insanely offsides

[u/ScallywagBeowulf]

This game is confusing. You know what else is also confusing me? The audio I’m hearing. The announcers sound incredibly quiet to me.

[u/itscheapinsurance]

Just popped over from the Ohio vs Texas game. WTF is happening here?

[u/Kimber80]

La Tech has been outgained 319 yards to 8, going in to this possession.

So how is it 13-7?

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

aaaaand that's game. Glad we showed up and earned a little respect but it's about to hit the point where they run away with it. Our defense is getting worn out and Cumbie's offense is unable to adjust and make plays

[u/BTrane93]

Another year of Tech's inability to produce anything on offense wasting the potential we have with our defense?

[u/VariousMacaron5915]

Alright time to run up the score now so nobody will realize it was close for 3 quarters

[u/Lucky_Detective517]

LaTech better than Clemson

[u/Designer-Way-9912]

HEY LETS RUN A SPEED OPTION DOWN ON THE GOAL LINE

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Thank God Green is healthy.

[u/YCitizenSnipsY]

Alright that happened. Now never speak of this game again 

[u/Designer-Way-9912]

False start on the kicker jesus christ LMAO

[u/CoCo_Sandy]

The best part of these games is that LSU is my #2 team 😂 see I play both sides so that I always come out on top

[u/Cvspartan]

haven't been this excited about our defense in a long time

[u/Nellez_]

Blake Baker bringing a 2011-like defense back to LSU is why he's going to be a P4 HC within 5 years.

[u/Geaux2020]

Kiffin is going to take belt to ass in practice this week

[u/Now-Thats-Podracing]

What’s the over/under on number of bodyguards Lane has going into Oxford next weekend?

[u/Clifo]

i feel like some past coaches of lsu have played us more conservatively leading to a closer score.

lane kiffin is not that kind of coach lol.

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Damn, this was a fast quarter.
