Pruitt won this game for us:

[Orange defense]

And the players executed it in the last 5 minutes. This shows that his players follows his toughness, no matter what is going on. That toughness will bleed over into 2020.

Pruitt knew his team well enough to believe he had to take that chance. It turned out he did, and he was right -- at least in the attempt.

Why keep throwing in red zone and no success, run the dam ball

When the female reporter asked CJP why he called the onside kick he said "Cause we were behind one score." Lol. Love him.

Pruitt has made some calls in the past to try and win some ball games. I think he will continue to do that in the future. I don’t know who to compare him to when it comes to making these kind of calls though. It’s unbelievable what he comes up with unexpectedly during some pressurized moments. I wasn’t expecting that at all, and I was even shocked with it.

There was some good and a lot of bad from a coaching perspective. The end of the halves/beginning of halves are still an issue. Game and clock management is still an issue. First half playcalling was an issue. Obviously the onside worked and was well executed.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I hope so. They never gave up which is certainly a credit to JP and the coaches

It was 55 minutes of mediocrity...and then 1 minute of brilliance...and then 2 plays of stupid defense in the last minute..,followed by at least recognizing the stupidity and correcting it

With Crouch....this staff has some adjusting to do. LSU's staff makes 'em look like pee-wee coaches.

Could LSU's staff do that with Tennessee's players?

 

[RockyTop140]

Made less mistakes than the team across the field. It was NOT pretty but often times against an evenly matched opponent, it happens. Just WIN

I tend to think that the only reason this game was a nail biter was because of the amount of mistakes we made. We made many more crucial mistakes than they did.

Like IU coach icing his own kicker. Then trying to again. That’s a new strategy to me.

LSU’s staff has a Heisman QB. You obviously don’t realize this...but it makes a difference

He pooped the bed for 44 minutes. Glad he figured it out.

Les Miles?

 

[LadyinOrange]

No need I'm not mad. Maybe a little quick on the keyboard tonight

Per the book on my wifes nightstand "Girl stop apologizing ".

I need that book. lol

 

[bigroxtar]

Got it done. Period. Let it lie, weirdo.

 

[rdk4121]

He completely outcoached Indiana's coach that's for sure. He undeniably lost them that game with several baffling mistakes including not calling the timeout before halftime.

 

[ftsandersvol]

He is still learning. I guarantee he will study clock management over the off season, especially on wildcat plays (snapped the ball way too early).

 

[Orange defense]

Les Miles?

I think so. He has made some great calls in his coaching career like that.

I agree, I think time management will get better over the off season.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Fantastic blitz calls
