Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LSU Is in Playoff Mode | 7 Keys to Beat Auburn & Win on the Road
Q: LSU doesn't like to tackle. Doesn't like to tackle. Byrum has gotten hot on the ground the last two games. Easy said than done. That man's running the ball. Jordan-Hare is about to be the lousiest. It's been in years.
Ruffino disagrees that LSU dislikes tackling but acknowledges Brown's recent rushing success. He says LSU needs to use numbers to help contain him rather than expecting one defender to make each stop.
LSU Is in Playoff Mode | 7 Keys to Beat Auburn & Win on the Road
Q: Sam needs to pull it and run a few times. I don't disagree there. If he can't get a few first downs, get a few four yard gains and a cloud of dust, we shouldn't be playing. He shouldn't be playing anyway.
Ruffino agrees that Sam Leavitt should show he can run, saying it could help LSU's offensive production and that Leavitt's runs in the previous game may have helped set that up.
Keys to Victory : LSU vs Auburn | What to Expect from Trey’Dez Green
Q: How many steps do you think trade is going to play?
Blake estimates Trey'Dez Green may play around 30 snaps, potentially fewer or more, depending on how his recovery and pain tolerance hold up.
Keys to Victory : LSU vs Auburn | What to Expect from Trey’Dez Green
Q: How do you feel about everyone discrediting a win versus without Camario? But us losing without Trey'Dez Green and Honky Badger are elite wins.
Blake says LSU should focus on winning its upcoming games rather than expecting outside recognition, since the team controls its own results.
LSU vs Auburn Postgame Show | Sam Leavitt & Jackson Harris Go Off | #AskBlake
Q: For the life of me, I don't understand why LSU doesn't utilize more of the clock when they're up. Make it make sense.
Blake points to LSU's long second-half possessions, including drives lasting more than six and seven minutes, and says the team also kept trying to score.
