Chick-Fil-A is a sandwich, not a BOWL.
Perhaps, if they sold chicken gumbo, we could find a reason to call it a bowl. As it is, Geaux, Tigers!
Bring home the PEACH BOWL trophy.

I am impressed with the advances that JJ has made since the end of the season.
What a way to start…impressive mix of plays.

For a few weeks we’ve been hearing about how we’re a huge disappointment an that GT would pound us.
If the first drive is any indication, the offense didn’t get that memo.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 6:44 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Starting early tonight?
Is Nessler drunk? That’s the second time he misidentified a team?
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 6:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
1st & 25
That’s a bad omen when they convert after 1st & 25. We can’t afford to let these guys off the mat like that.

May be wrong, but it appears that one major problem with the Triple Option is that when they get in Red Zone and can’t spread the field, it doesn’t seem to work. Would like to know the statistics on GT performance in the red zone.

No disrespect to Peterson—he had good position—but a competent passing game scores the TD on that play.
I agree with your point about the short field…but is that effect any more than other schemes?
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:08 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Think it might be. The triple option depends on the DE coming in and leaving a gap, Short field means the gap is not nearly so big.
by lawildbull on Dec 31, 2008 7:11 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe I’m imagining this, but the first 15 minutes went fast. That’s probably an effect of the triple option, but GT only had two possessions and threw more than normal.

G Tech Red Zone
36 attempts, 29 scores; 18 TDs, 11 FG
LSU 42 attempts, 38 scores, 30TD, 8 FG

I am impressed! Jefferson is really making a case to be starter next year

That was a great improvisation. The sort that’s fun to watch, but I hope coach told him never to do that again.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The only thing that bothers me about this score...
is that 8 years ago GT led us 14-3 at the half and we came back to win after subbing Reauxhaun Davey for Josh Booty.
But I don’t believe in karma.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I wonder if the field judge went to LSU. He made that call emphatically.
Jasper should check his fillings after that hit.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:25 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
the 3 and out was to set up a muffed punt

New Offensive Play!
Punt it and take it away!

3 TDs
If Charles Scott is planning on the 09 draft, he’s definitely working the stat sheet for a nice finale.

Nobody touched Scott again...
I’m beginning to enjoy this game, sitting here in West Louisiana, all alone. My dog is beginning to wonder if I’m sick!

Seems the Defense is now playing like they should have played all year.
by lawildbull on Dec 31, 2008 7:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
That was stupid
Ok, the call is ridiculous given the score and field position, but the formation also telegraphed the fake.
Just dumb.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:42 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Hate To say It
The Defense stayed home on that play. Think the Co-DCs called that defense?
by lawildbull on Dec 31, 2008 7:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I think is is gonna get real ugly, real quick. Jefferson is looking relaxed and th receivers seen to have confidence in him.
by lawildbull on Dec 31, 2008 7:44 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Another TD is nice, and
it looked to me like Jefferson checked more than one receiver on that play. He’s had a habit of only looking at one guy, so it’s nice to see him grow as a QB.
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I loved how he almost threw to the uncovered reciever at the top of the screen...
Great field awareness…..

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.
I was afraid GT might get points on that drive, get the ball back to start the second half, and then score again to make it a close game. Nice defense. Alem is a beast.
Time to go for the kill!

A Good Running Game for LSU. Another TD before the half would really be nice.

Looks like better days are coming for y’all finally. I’m a Dawg Fan but like to pull for LSU in the west. Of course I would be pulling for Beelzebub if he was depantsing Ga Yech as y’all are right now, but still. Bring it on home now Tigers! Wow! Another six in the house even as I post.

On behalf of everyone in the Bulldawg Nation
We thank you LSU Tigers for this wonderfully entertaining first half!!!!!

After our experience against Troy St., we won’t relax until it’s over. I think we need more points.
I’ll be pulling for UGA over MSU tomorrow.
Congrats to VAndy, by the way.

Just wish we had been playing like this when we met you!

yeah i bet you do.
I wish we could have played Defense this well against Tech like you guys, your players look like they want it and are playing like animals on defense. And you will have next year to try to get your revenge, i’m sure it will be a good game.
Keep it up in the second half. Embarass the yellow piss of their jersyes!

Support for UGA
In a previous life as a Army civilian, I was a frequent visitor to Atlanta. I knew even the surface streets. Was a great fan of Lewis Grizzardand so, had to develop a liking for UGA. So, will pull for you tomorrow.
SEC is the best, without a doubt! We may cannabilize each other, but, like family, we pull for each other against outsiders!

Let's Geaux, Tigers!
Tech will have to open it up in the air ’cause it appears that Miles did a great thing in bringing in the triple option expert for advice on how to stop it.

I was just thinking that we had not had any stupid penalties, but that late hit was the first. I hope it does not come back to bit us in the @$$

It looked like Tyson Jackson ate Dwyer on that 3rd down play.
And then GT coaches made another stupid call to go for it on 4th down. Putz!
by uberschuck on Dec 31, 2008 8:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The TIGERS are playing a much more disciplined game. Only three penalties so far: Off sides, holding, late hit!

I think we got hosed out of 2 points there.
I’m surprised GT didn’t call for a fake FG from the end zone. Putz!

No points on these last two drives,
but we’re burning clock.

Would love to see many more points. Would go far to establishing our position in pre-season polls next year, not that they mean anything. Just looks good to see the Tigers in the top 10.

Only 3 points.
Colt David is a badass.

Tech needs a TD every 3.3 minutes to win with LSU not scoring anything.
Glad to see Colt David get his name called,. He’;s been a real player for the TIGERS

I hope they throw a pick-6 on the next play as punishment for that big gainer.
Speaking of pick-6, I hope Lee can get in the game.

Looking good, L.S.U.
I know we still have 15 minutes to play, but I’m feeling optimistic.
As a Georgia fan who wants to see the S.E.C. do well and who has put up with a month’s worth of crap from those Georgia Tech people, let me just say . . .
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

If I weren't an LSU fan...
I’d probably think this is one of the worst bowl games ever…first half blowout, miscues in the second half that prevented scoring.
And what about the other games today…OSU and PITT playing a snoozer 3-0.
Vandy had the marquee game of the day.
Yeah, break out (more of) the booze.

Uberschuck,
Thanks for the conversations tonight. Can’t watch a game like this by yourself without blowing a gasket. Look forward to the spring and the 09 season. Tonight was a great view of what LSU football will be again.
by lawildbull on Dec 31, 2008 9:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
THANK YOU!!!
It doesn’t neutralize my Bulldogs’ loss to the North Avenue Trade School, but it will dampen at least a little bit their urge to bug me endlessly. Not beating Tech is not nearly as bad as Tech winning. That may not make sense to many, but those who understand rivalries like this will understand. Keeping them to 9 wins while we still have a chance to get 10 (over a Big 10 school, incidentally) is a big deal. And for that, I am forever grateful to LSU.
By the way, how ’bout them ’Dores?!
