QB: D Anthony Jennings is simply horrible. We won in spite of his ineptitude. I don't know if we can coach this kid to do any better going forward. He can't get past his first read. That's unacceptable. RB: B- It would have easily been an A grade, but the two costly fumbles downgrades an otherwise fantastic night. It sure is nice to have a fresh Hilliard in the 4th quarter. He was running over Ole Miss defenders who were simply gassed. WR: C+ This unit is impossible to grade with a QB who simply can't get them the ball. There was some good downfield blocking that sprang big run plays. TE/FB: A- Connor Neighbors is one beast of a blocker. And sports the best haircut in college football. Stokes catches the game winner. OL: A+ This was an epic performance by a much maligned unit. Ole Miss' defense was ranked 6th in the nation vs the run and knew early on in this game we could not complete a forward pass. LSU still managed to rush for over 250 yards. 29 of 34 first down plays were runs. They still could not stop us even when they were sure it was coming. Epic performance. DL: A- Best game of the year by this unit. Stout up the middle, and the edge rush was there almost all night long, causing Bo Wallace to suffer the consequences. Hunter is quickly becoming an All-American potential DE. Rasco has come to life as well, playing his best game of the season. LB: A- Best game of the season by far from this unit. Beckwith is getting comfortable manning the middle and starting to dominate. Kwon is killing it and has been for much of the season. DB: B+ It was not their best night, but it was good enough to win the game. Jamal Adams continues to make the big play for LSU and got the game winning interception. ST/K: F You don't normally win the game when your special teams and kicking game sucked as badly as LSU's did vs Ole Miss. Coaching: A Gutsy call with the play action fake near the goal line for the game winning touchdown pass. This team was obviously playing for their head coach who they love dearly and would run through a brick wall for him. It showed big time. Les Miles racks up his 24th come from behind 4th quarter win.
I'd only add an A+ for the fans this time. Well maybe just an "A" since they rushed the field after an Ole Miss win but they did stay till the end.
Too tough on Jennings. He was a C. 8/16 is 50 percent, 1 int was terrible the other was like a punt. He was like 4 of 6 throwing on first down, and threw the game winning TD pass. He is mediocre and that's all the coaches are asking of him. Special teams I'd give a D because coverage was good, especially Deion Jones. Linebackers were THE unit tonight. Kwon Alexander and Beckwith played like Bradie James and Trev Faulk. O line proved they are at this point the best O line in the SEC.
Nothing more than a game manager. Re the running backs, I'd cut some slack for the fumbles and give them a B+.
He had a pass that should have been a pick 6 down at our 20 yard line. I mean it was beyond horrible.
Bro Ballace threw what should have been 4 or 5 picks. If Fournette and Magee don't fumble maybe Jennings doesn't have to throw in those situations. He wasn't beyond horrible, you are being over dramatic.
He also had the throw to Fournette down the middle of the field that was as good as anything we ever saw Mett throw.
The pass I described to you was beyond horrible. Focus, son. LSU simply can't return to the JJ days of inept QB play and relying way too much on special teams (which is not special for LSU all too often) and defense and a running game. Thank God we survived Jennings' poor play tonight.
