I don't see us as winning. There's more to it than what's on the scoreboard.

I really want to see some improvement from the O-Line this half

If we can’t start running the ball, it’s going to put a lot of pressure on our sophomore QB.

Right now there isn’t much reason to have confidence in the run game. We’re obliged to stay honest and keep attempting it. Frankly, I’m hoping for big plays, otherwise our run game will kill every drive.

Pounding it isn't working

What is working is lining up four wide and running QB sweeps and options

they said we have 7 yards rushing..

but from my calculations, we have 36.. most from Russell Shepard

Shepard has done well when in the game. Eventually, he’s going to have to throw a ball so that the play isn’t obvious every time he takes a snap. (Similar to the habit we had of running the same play to Trindon Holiday every time he got in the game a couple years ago.)

by uberschuck on Sep 26, 2009 1:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

Even with the mistakes, and there have been more than a few,

still think we are winning according to the scoreboard. We now have to win on the field, and a great part of that is establishing the run game. Need to spread it out a bit, allow Trindon to string it out, pound with Scott and use Shepard even more. The O-Line has got to step it up.

I think our D has the potential to be something truly special

Still some growing pains, but man, are we talented. If they continue to gel — IF — they’re going to give teams like UF and Bama all they can handle.

If y'all are talking about hte pass to Dixon..

when a defensive end reads that play right, it is very hard to have success. The play calls for him to go free and hope he either reads run or can’t reach the QB

Looked like the ESPN play clock was slow

Judging from the time when the announcer said there was 10 secs left

by CFB on Sep 26, 2009 2:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

How?

The ESPN clock said we had time.

Oh wait, their production sucks.

just tackle them inbounds before he gets a first down on any play.

After all that...

MSU goes down with a whimper. Except for that last play, the final series was inept.

The LSU defense dedicates goal line stand to Wayne Madkin, who also, didn’t get into the end zone.

to paraphrase an old adage

“One (or more) sloppy plays spoils the entire game.

by lawildbull on Sep 26, 2009 3:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah. Our passing game looked a lot improved

Especially our O-line blocking. But we’re not mature enough passers to be able to live on it without the run. Unfortunately we’ll need to grow in passing to free up the lanes. Perhaps next week?

JJ is being forced to run for his life FAR too often

And we aren’t opening holes for our RB’s — 31 yards rushing on 31 attempts. Ouch.

a win is a win is a win.

I remember watching the goal line stand at Tiger Stadium against UL

It’s a good thing they had that recent experience against a weaker team because it really came in handy this week. The win is good, but this wasn’t a pretty win.

And, that’s why you don’t let the other team score. It’s better to tell your defense to win the game than to tell them to let the other team take the lead.

by CFB on Sep 26, 2009 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

They got more first downs than us

That’s not the best way to win, but you see it in sports all the time. In baseball, it’s like winning a game despite being out hit by a large margin.

by Ace Venom on Sep 26, 2009 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

You’d think a team that wins the turnover battle 4-0 would dominate time of possession, but not in this crazy game. MSU ran 25 more plays than we did, yet our defense still had what it took to stop them twice at the goal line.

We have got to establish the run to retain possession.

by uberschuck on Sep 26, 2009 3:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

You honestly can't keep winning games like this

This was a game that still could have gone either way despite how many plays MSU ran. It’s worse to lose a game the way MSU did than to win a game like LSU did today. The recent Monday Night Football game is a good example of how you can dominate time of possession and still lose a game.

And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.

And lest we forget,

MSU outscored our offense 24-20!

Yipes.

NOT a good sign with UGA, UF and Auburn on deck.

by CFB on Sep 26, 2009 3:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it

There’s a good reason you have to play the game. This doesn’t bode well, but after the road game against UGA, we get the other two teams at Tiger Stadium. LSU has managed to get two good road wins, one of them being on the West Coast against the team that beat USC. Let’s worry about UGA when that time comes. Right now, we can take a deep breath and be glad we came away with a hard fought road victory.

Well, that time has come.

In a couple hours we’ll be over it. In a couple hours, the team has to get over it and begin prepping for UGA. Classes can wait until the bye week, or next semester. They’re not important.
