Elko has a decision: Conner or Reed........what say ye?

If Elko names Reed, SC likely loads up the box to stop the run and has a spy for Reed. Goal is to stop the run and dare Reed to pass who has not shown he is a good, consistent passer.

If Elko names Conner, SC looks at what lsu did to disrupt Conner and control the run game by the RBs.

So whom does he choose? Does he wait until game time? Reportedly both have been getting equal reps and that is likely not going to change.

Bean Thoughts

Bullet point style:

DJ Hicks best game - physically dominated in second half repeatedly in both pass rush and run defense

York was hurting after big hit on Nuss, stayed in the game and baited Nuss into pic the next play - phenomenal guts and determination

Laughed at York when he would lean over los and listen to Nuss adjust protections - coach on the field

Curious about leveons “anxiety” issues during this game and a couple of others. Appreciate him coming back strong each time and also grateful for Armani being a beast too

Two to three deep d line is magical in second half. i get excited about kennedy and sylla when they come in, athletes with high motor!

Scourton underrated run stuffer

After Marcel started to run down their throat, lsu had to adjust d, only three rushers on long pass to Noah. With Connor, even on first down play action, they had ears pinned and aggressive pass rush. marcel had easy pocket and made a great throw.

TJ and Dewberry good run blocking, but struggled with pass pro

Connor missed on first play of second drive, easy slant route to get him going, high and right miss. At that moment you had to worry it was one of those nights for him.

Amazing how confident Connor was two years ago vs LSU connecting with Moose

Elko is a mans man, love that dude, so refreshing

Second half adjustments were beautiful, awesome blitz packages, guys coming from angles

Bryce tackled better, but bad ball skills on deep ball, pulling for him, great kid

Jahdae lit that safety up, love seeing WR's physically attack when blocking

Theo great block on first Marcel td, great job not holding

On same play, Tre Watson pancaked his dude, TE’s putting in work!

Marcel seems special, high charisma and leadership, not scared

Jimbo would never have pulled Connor

South Caro at night will be a dog fight, hope we get Bisontis back

Hope Elko can reign in Shemar T, get same effort without the other BS

Crownover and Deuce playing at high level at RT, which we once thought would be a weakness

Check Deuce block on Leveons first td, athletic and dominated the LB

gigem!!

Weigman / Reed

Great to see Elko do what needed to be done. Weigman has the physical tools / a very strong arm. But he sucked against Notre Dame and he sucked tonight. Plenty of people see him in practice, or against overrated opponents, and think he's something he's not. Reed would have torched Missouri also.

I'd expect to see Reed get the start against South Carolina, and I doubt he gives up the starting position the rest of the year.

Theory on Offense/Reed

I’ve been working in the lab and cooking this up, think I’m onto something here.

Anyone with two eyes, possibly only one, could see the offense was completely different plays last night with Reed. I think that with Weigman out early in the season and expected back, Klein was told to keep running the offense we’d run if he was healthy, even with Reed. They wanted the rest of the offense to get used to it so that when Weigman was back it would be like nothing changed.

Last night Elko said **** it, Reed’s our guy, and gave Klein the green light to run the offense he wanted to run all along like the one he had at KSU. Am I crazy here?
