GREAT tackle by Eugene

I was sure that was set for a gain of 15

by GeauxTigers on Nov 8, 2008 2:41 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I feel kinda sick about that

I mean, woo turnover and all, but just dumb luck for us that he decided to stretch it out so Chad could swat it out

by GeauxTigers on Nov 8, 2008 2:44 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

that play was an encapsulation of LSU's season so far

right until the lucky break at the end.

They had Wilson twice and he somehow escaped to make a big play.

I Don't Mean To Get On A Rant Here

but at many levels it seems the basic things have been forgotten. What was the first thing you were told when you started playing football …. protect the darn football at all cost.

by tommyguniii on Nov 8, 2008 2:46 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I said the same thing during Texas-Texas Tech

When Graham Harrell took that awful sack late in the 4th to knock them back 15 yards and result in a missed long FG…almost cost them the game.

I’m surprised how often I see veteran players (at all levels, as you say) forgetting these things lately.

I Just Don't Get It, I Mean The Thing I Was So Impressed

by the LSU team was until just two weeks ago the running backs had not lost a fumble in like 600+ carries. That is good coaching. And good coaching wins you a lot of football games.

Lee

Okay, over/under on the time into the game at which we have the (first) Lee pick-six?

It’s like the 2006 Saints, we gave up an 80 yard TD seemingly every game so by the end of the year the mantra just became “Let’s get it out of the way early so we have time to battle back from their momentum.” Better early than late.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 8, 2008 2:45 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, Lee has certainly been good at doing it early

I can’t really complain about two handoffs to Scott right off the bat.

Minus the six.

Lee tries that dangerous throw every damn time. That was just terrible.

by GeauxTigers on Nov 8, 2008 2:49 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Might as well have been

Although I suppose a little less momentum since it took them three plays.

Wonder if we’ll ever see the 2nd-half-at-Auburn Jarrett Lee.

Zero swagger

On the precipice of becoming Larry Coker’s post-title Miami squads. These are the times we learn how great the coaching staff really is.

I wish we could get Dickson more involved

Because I think his dependability would help Lee get more consistent. But I wonder whether the coaches will (understandably, no doubt) hesitate to give Lee that many options over the middle?

There were 12 men in the huddle and the refs didn’t flag it. Les was pissed. The TO came after they broke, so it shouldnt have saved them from the penalty.

they're fine when they're able to rely on their athleticism

but their technique is poor at times, especially, oddly, in tackling after the catch.

3 turnovers converted into 7 points

While this wasn’t a TO, we’ve just GOT to do something here. If Bama goes into the half down seven despite all those nasty breaks, Saban will have them coming out totally rejuvenated in the 3rd.
