Tennessee blew our doors off last year because Tennessee was a good team and LSU didn't take them seriously until it didn't matter. FSU exploited LSU's weaknesses in the secondary, executed plays, controlled the line of scrimmage and simply ruined LSU's night.

O’s recruits are going and not being replaced with adequate talent. BJ Ojulari was missed big time Sunday.

So many things went wrong in that Tennessee game just like a lot of things went wrong in the FSU game. We got beat by a better team and were out coached just flush it and move on.
They are eerily similar...
Not taking points, momentum killing TD drops by WR. Total second half arse kickings.

23-14 at half changes the game.
The first 4th down was a terrible play call but kicking there would have been the right call after failing to get 6 the previous 5 or 6 plays. But going for it there isn't a bad idea just was the absolute worst play call, everything was an outside breaking route.
The second 4th down was actually a good play call it was just not executed. Hindsight is 20-20 and everyone wants to second guess it but the fact of the matter is 23-14 was not going to make a difference because we had 2 linebackers who were lost in coverage all game and could not stop them.
Coaches failed them but from a scheme and play calling standpoint. Not because they elected to go for it on 4th down twice. The first 1 was a terrible play call the 2nd was a good play call just a miss read by Jayden and not executed. 23-14 would not change FSU's mismatch against our DBs or linebackers in the passing or run game in the second half. They made adjustments and we could/did not.

Against FSU they quit because of the futility …
This was by far the most troubling.
Some of it was qb some of it was FSU beat us up if you watched the game. FSU earned those personal fouls. !
What I saw was a lack of fight at the moment we most needed it.

That was the 6th game of the season with an entirely new staff and many new, key, players. Yes, perhaps the staff was able to identify some strengths/weaknesses there. But THAT is the problem with this loss. There were many returning players from last season. They had a whole (2022) season, plus offseason, to identify the strengths and weaknesses. Yet, the exact same mistakes that plagued LSU last season were on display in game one as if the staff learned nothing from last year.
Daniels was hesitant as a pocket passer last season in this offense that wants to rely on long developing routes out of predictable formations. Game one: exact same offensive approach with the exact same issues.
The return game, both KO and punts, were, at best, and adventure. At worst, a disaster. Game one: Nearly dropped first punt return. Muffed second punt return. KO returns that never made it to the 20. SAME ISSUES
The defense struggled last year on third down. Game One: FSU 10-15 on 3rd/4th down.
The running game with RBs was inconsistent last season. Game one: 12 carries for 49 yards...35 on one play where the defense was sitting back in prevent.
Kyren Lacy struggled with drops last season: Game one: 3 drops.
The only change LSU did make was to take their best playmaker on defense (Perkins) and completely mitigate him by moving him to ILB.
If it took an arse-kicking to expose flaws and weaknesses that were already know from last season then that is a BIG coaching problem.
This game was shades of 2016 vs. Wisconsin. In 2015 LSU was a good (9-3) but flawed team. Everyone could see the flaws and that damn near got the HC fired. However, in 2016 LSU was returning a lot of key players. So much so that they were ranked in the top 5 to start the season. Many anticipated that Miles getting carried off the field in his "last game as LSU's HC" would be enough of a wakeup call for him to acknowledge the flaws from the prior season and change his approach in 2016. He didn't. At all. The same issues that were there in 2015 were there in a game one loss. That was the case Sunday. Same issues that cost you last year were present again. Only this time the excuse of everything being "new" wasn't present.
LSU thought they would simply trot out the exact same approach from last season, only this time with better execution because of more experience. They refused to acknowledge the weaknesses from last year's season and adapt the approach to address them.
