LSU - Virginia Tech Post Game Quick Reactions

 Jesus. I am speechless. Best game I have ever seen LSU put together, on both sides of the ball, considering the quality of the opposition (and even NOT adjusting for the quality of opposition). Even during the Saban era. So, a couple quick thoughts before I head out for some beverages (it's not even 10 yet here on the left coast):

  • So much for Les Miles not being able to win meaningful big games. That's a top ten team that we just blitzed by forty. All hail Les Miles.


  • So much for any suggestion that last week's offense may not have been vanilla. What we saw tonight was MUCH different, and MUCH improved. We executed to perfection. 600 yards of total offense? All hail Gary Crowton.


  • Defense doesn't let the opposition onto our side of the field until the second half? I'd say that's acceptable. 157 yards of total offense for the opposition? All hail Bo Pelini (though Bo, could you show a little more excitement about your D when you're introducing them? Thanks!).


  • On that note, it was amazing to see Keiland finally break a few open - and boy DID he. It was amazing to see Hester get off and rolling on that first drive. He absolutely set the tone for the night with his strong running on the opening drive. But we see now - with Kirk surprisingly completely prepared for in his remarks - why so many have felt tht Keiland ought to be the feature back.


  • 5 years later, it's great to be able to return the favor to Virginia Tech. That is all.

I had never heard of Keiland Williams until tonight, that 67 yard run he broke off was awesome. Theres a vid of it on youtube..

If not their best performance, very close to it
It's hard for me to settle on what game represents their best performance.  I can't comment on anything prior to the mid-80's but there were several 2003 games that could vie for the title.  The one that immediately comes to mind was the Auburn game.  Auburn was very strong that year and pretty much always gives LSU a tough game.  But LSU knocked them out early.  I'm going entirely by memory here but I remember their opening drive was perfect, resulting in a touchdown and it was 28-0 in no time.  With that game happening against an LSU rival instead of an untested but assumed power from the ACC, I'd probably give that game the nod unless V. Tech can prove they weren't, as they say, OVER-RATED.

Seeing LaFell and Perrilloux perform well is a good sign that we'll have a solid offense this year.  Flynn is the man for sure but we should keep using Perrilloux to keep defenses honest.

Perrilloux
I was very pleased to see the "Tebow Package" being used with Perrilloux. It completely opened up the field and allowed for a perfect strike to Early Doucet for a touchdown. He's looked good in both games in his mop up duty as well. Let's hope he stays out of trouble and can take over the offense next year! Things are looking good down the line.
