LSU's coaching search is in full tilt. Cody and Jacob get their thoughts on the qualities and characteristics to look for the next coach of LSU Football, while discussing the overall media landscape and how they decipher real news from fake. Jacob also takes us back to 2005, when he was in the middle of a coaching search as a player, to give us that perspective during a time of uncertainty.

After that, Jacob and Jack Mashburn head to the film room to dissect how the former walk-on tight end earned a scholarship through hard-nosed blocking and buying in to his role in the Tigers' offense. 

On a cold night in Tiger Stadium, LSU's defense was dominant, its offense clunky, and its result frustrating. 

Cody and Jacob discuss Garrett Nussmeier's first extended action at LSU, Micah Baskerville and Damone Clark's stellar performances, and talk through the frustrations of the Tigers' situational struggles and key mistakes. 

Fresh off a hard fought battle in Tuscaloosa, Cody and Jacob look closer at LSU's defensive performance, how sustainable it is, and why the Tigers were able to dominate Alabama's high-powered offense for much of the night. Later, they discuss the open quarterback competition and the role of Jack Bech heading into the Arkansas game (29:21). 

After that, linebacker Mike Jones goes into the film room (43:53) to look at his big day against the Tide and talk about his improvements after transferring from Clemson to prove himself as a future NFL middle linebacker. 

A resilient effort from LSU isn't quite enough to topple the Tide in Tuscaloosa.

Cody and Jacob break down LSU's defensive success, the new blitz-happy scheme, the offensive struggles, and the dramatic conclusion to the game.

Back at Cards and Culture this week to preview Arkansas. 

Fresh off the bye week, LSU is set to bring some new looks on both sides of the ball against Alabama. Cody and Jacob break down what tweaks the Tigers might utilize on offense and defense in Tuscaloosa this weekend. 

Later in the show, Butkus Award semifinalist Damone Clark takes us inside the film room a few of his best plays from a breakout season. 

Ted Lasso doppelgänger Jacob Hester and Kent Lowe impersonator Cody Worsham discuss the virtues of Being a Goldfish during LSU's bye week.

Also up for discussion are the offensive funk seen at Ole Miss, what we're seeing from LSU's defense, and a bigger picture conversation about Quarterback, the 4-3, and injuries. 

Back next week to preview Alabama. 

Cody is solo on today's show.
