Initial Impressions: LSU 42, Dawgs 10

PrintWhen you dominate a team on the field, you need to dominate them on the scoreboard or it simply doesn't matter.
Thatr's the lesson of this game, and the lesson of pretty much every upset bid. UGA came out and absolutely dominated the game in the first half, showing themselves to be the better team on the field. They moved the ball at will, and LSU's offense couldn't even manage a first down. It was complete domination.
And after Tyrann Mathieu returned a kick for a touchdown, it only resulted in a 3 point Bulldog lead. When UGA went to the half with a 10-7 lead despite it's utter domination of the first half, you knew they were in deep, deep trouble.
UGA threw it's best punches in the first half. They even landed a good portion of them. But up by a mere field goal at the half, it simply wasn't enough of a cushion for the oncoming LSU onslaught. The big plays were coming, and when they came, UGA had no response.
Aaron Murray fumbled on an ill-advised scramble on third down. Two plays later? Touchdown, LSU. UGA went three and out, and on the ensuing punt Mathieu broke another huge return. Four plays later? Touchdown, LSU. 21-10 Tigers. No looking back.
That's how quickly things can turn against you against LSU. You spend the entire game doing everything right, and you make two mistakes... and you're down by 11 points with seemingly no hope of a comeback.
By the end of the game, LSU had evened out the statistical lines, but the domination in the second half was thorough and complete. Where there had once been a competitive ballgame, tilted in the Bulldogs favor, there was now an LSU blowout.
It happened as quickly as you can imagine. That's how this time strikes. When you have the advantage, you have to score points. Kevin Spacey asked in the Usual Suspects, "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What happens if you miss?"
Georgia tried to shoot LSU in the back and found out what happens when you miss. They probably deserved a better result than that, but to quote another movie, "Deserved ain't got nothing to do with it."
LSU saw its season flash before it's eyes at the half. They reacted as they always do, by seizing the moment and dominating the game, winning by a huge score. SEC Champs. Undefeated season. Scoreboard.
I can't put this season into perspective yet, that will come over the ensuing weeks, but I do think this was the culmination of the greatest LSU season ever. Period. If this team fails to win the national title, it will be a tragedy. But this was a team that saw the season flash before its eyes, and they did not panic. They just ruthlessly asserted their dominance and claimed their right -- the SEC title.
Next stop, New Orleans.

Here are the first impression from a Die Hard Dawg Fan
This LSU team is devastatingly deep, destructive, determined and knows full well the potential that they carry. There is no need to panic when you understand that there is perhaps no team that can hang with you for all four quarters. That was impressive guys. Truly painful to watch the second half but my hat is off to you guys for an impressive win. Best of luck in the NCG. This is one Dawg fan that will be pulling for you guys.
Congratulations.

Thank you sir!
UGA is one of favorites when the Tigers aren’t playing bc of its fans and coach. Classy folk.
Cheer up, Georgia.

“That’s how quickly things can turn against you against LSU. You spend the entire game doing everything right, and you make two mistakes… and you’re down by 11 points with seemingly no hope of a comeback. "
It is few teams that can straight punish you for each and every mistake you make. LSU is that team.
Well put Poseur, this was how I was trying to explain it to our gang over at Dawg Sports. By the way, I don’t know what it is but we Dawg fans just cannot seem to hate you guys. Maybe it is the Gumbo…?

Congrats Tigers! Sigh
And here is hoping that you make “mince-meat” or craw-daddies out of the Tide. My son is a Tide fan and I loved it when ya beat Bama the last time. Congrats again
Well, we left some points on the field
in the first half to be sure…but I doubt that it would’ve mattered. The Tigers did what champions do: They don’t panic, exploit weaknesses and turn opportunities into points.
Congrats and good luck against ‘Bama. Maybe we’ll see you again about this time next year.

First time commenting here
I usually stick to my pro teams page. I grew up between Houston and Natchitoches. I was in and around New Orleans volunteering after Katrina and in Houston after Rita… I would have a very hard time staying classy and not referencing the recent tornadoes that plowed through there. Bama fans are just classless and the fact that that idiot with his GED is actually Admin over there really says a lot about that fan base on here.
"How bout that ride in. I guess that's why they call it sin city."
Bama guys can sure be beligerent
and I have a Tide son who is beligerent as fan but that certainly is no excuse what the guy said on that thread. Go Tigers..and if you face Bama..well the Tigers can “roll” the Tide over and over again.
I have a love for LSU
since I lived in Opelousas for 4 years before moving over here in GA. Bama fans take the sport too seriously at times..this guy ought to get “a life”
Fuck that cocksmoker.
Seriously. What kind of trash makes Katrina jokes?

Look, I really do feel bad about the people that died in that tragedy.
But using it as an excuse for OSU losing that game is a bunch of baloney. Every team goes through it’s own set of problems. Hell, Arkansas had a PLAYER die the week before they played you. I don’t see anyone blaming their loss on that. And this was the women’s basketball coach.
I stand by my statement. Terrible tragedy. Had nothing to do with the football game though. That makes me a horrible human being? You’re free to your opinion I guess.

Dude, have you no humanity?
Of course it affected the team. They didn’t use it as an excuse and for the most part NOBODY is cutting them any slack but Gundy himself was in tears before the game because a dear friend and co-worker had just been killed in a tragic plane crash.
You are so blinded by your own selfish interest in getting into the championship game that you are not even being close to objectivity or human decency.
It cool though, you are gonna what you want, OSU is gonna get jobbed and Bama will get it’s rematch. By like it should be, when you get something you didn’t earn you rarely reap the reward.
LSU is gonna donkey stomp your gump herd in New Orleans and the WeeOne will be looking for the back door…

You were making light of a tragedy where 1,836 people lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands other lives were changed forever. My aunt and uncle from mid-city New Orleans lost everything, but made it out alive. Another uncle in Bay St. Louis wasn’t so lucky.
The same applies to newanachronism and the 9-11 tragedy. I don’t care how you spin it, some things are just over the line, or maybe outside the line in this case.
An apology is in order, I hope you man up.

so, anyways
Okie State’s up 24-3, driving with the ball in the 3rd. If they end up winning by something like 42-10 – I think there is a pretty decent chance that enough voters jump them over Bama that the computers put them over, especially if Clemson beats VA Tech. What do you guys think?
and after a fieldgoal
and a SECOND fumble, scoop and score of the game – Okie state is up 33-3 pending a review and extra point.
and clemson is up 24-10 on va tech in the 3rd quarter
so if this holds, all of those voters who had Okie state 4 or 5th behind VA tech and stanford will have to seriously consider moving them to 3rd, if not 2nd…
This is the Bama nightmare scenario
If this holds up. VT loses and Okie St wins by blowout? That’s petty much the textbook way to get OSU to #2. The final polls are gonna be mighty close, but the “no rematch” folks will be able to rally behind OSU.

Good Game
Damn. I’ve said this whole year that ya’lls D reminds me of a Boa Constrictor….just slowly squeezing you to death inch by inch.
That’s how it fel tonight.
I’d love to see how the game played out had we not dropped two first quarter TD passes, but them’s the breaks.
IMO, there shouldn’t even be a BCSNC game this year. There’s no doubt you guys are the best team in the land.
That said, if Bama gets a rematch, I hope you beat the ever-loving shit out of them
Congrats
Congrats from a Dawg fan
Wished we could’ve converted a couple of those drops in the first quarter into TD’s, but I don’t think it would’ve changed anything but the margin of defeat.
Still, can’t say I would’ve predicted the Dawgs that lost in the Dome earlier this year to be the one team this year that led y’all at the half.
Can’t decide if I’d rather have y’all:
A) beat Bama by > 3
B) beat a team you haven’t already faced
but I’ll go with B for right now.
Congrats again.
Bama fans suck...
At least as based on the RBR site. I’ve lost ALL respect for them and wish upon them a long run of second place finishes to any other SEC team. What a group of classless d- bags.

Lost in the shuffle of these comments about how awful some fans are (nothing to do with Bama, a lot of people don’t deserve a voice, we have dumb ones just like they do, they just aren’t allowed to be admins here)… is how Tyrann has been the ‘chips are down i’m gonna make a play’ guy the past two weeks. And there was really no big punt returns from him all season until the past two weeks that i remember. For someone who took some heat midseason, had the missed game and the ‘stripping the ball instead of tackling’ thing… he certainly has shown that he isn’t going away by any means and a lesser player might have let it get to him. Well deserved MVP award when it easily could have gone to Hilliard who has been a revelation in his own right. Boykins might testify to that if he remember that he tried to stop him anyway.

I was really not sold on Matthieu after the UT-LSU game, where he was talking crap early/late in the game, trying to goad on some Tennesse players, and got beat by Da’Rick Rodgers a few times. But after those two returns? Wow. If he had high-stepped that second one into the endzone it might’ve gone down as the most amazing plays I’d seen in football. Absolute wizadry.

Thanks.
It just makes sense to me.
I’ll be happy to watch my Tigers play whomever makes the game, but I don’t think many other teams through the BCS years could lay claim to that particular stat. PAC-12, Big East, and Big 12 10 8+2 Champs… all in one year? That sounds pretty good to me.
Congrats on your season, BTW. And for giving us a hard smack in the mouth during the first half.
About 36 feet of offensive production and… NO FIRST DOWNS.
That still kinds stings even after we won the game.
Good Luck in your bowl!

Look I dont want to go here b/c it's such touchy territory
But you have to understand Katrina, being from the New Orleans area is sort of like being Jewish & dealing with the Holocaust. Obviously, nowhere near to that extent but you have to understand I couldn’t even get into my town for 6 weeks after the event. A lot of people died, it was a war zone. Historical stuff that was truly unique in this country gone over night. I can’t tell you how bizarre it was to see the red X on a neighbor’s house when we finally could get back in, meaning dead body in the house. He was a weird old coot that over watered his lawns & washed his cars daily but he was dead & it was a very strange feeling to feel such loss for someone you didn’t even really know.
To may of us, part of us died that weekend & the weeks following. Then couple it with the political situation that came afterward & the finger pointing & the crap at all levels of government has left with me a complete lack of faith in any sort of government & really made me question the state of this country & some of its people, esp. those that profess to be our leaders. When the shit hit the fan, they all ran & played c.y.a. & used us like pawns.
So, to make a short story long Katrina jokes are a no-go. So, I apologize for the earlier harsh words but that’s where some of us are coming from on Katrina.

You know
if LSU beats an undefeated Okie State in the BCSCG, you would have to put their season up there with the best of all time. Assuming Bama and Oregon win their bowl games, how many times has a team finished unbeaten with a schedule that included the teams who finished #2, #3, and #4 (where I figure a one-loss OSU would end up if the one loss was LSU), especially with two of them being conference champs?

Appreciate it
Hopefully we can finish the job. I’ll say this. If it IS Bama, I wonder if any team has ever won 10 SEC games in one season before?
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Very much appreciated
To be honest right now (although I am too young to really remember Steve Spurrier’s dominance) the two best teams that I have ever seen are this LSU team, and the Florida team in 2008 after the Ole Miss loss….they were as dominant of a team as you’ll see. But certainly by resume (at the very least) this LSU team takes the cake.
From a Georgia fan....wow. Just wow.
And you did it with two quarterbacks. The old saying, “if you have two quarterbacks then you have no quarterback” was disproven, to say the least.
LSU is so dominant in the second half that I feel like one tiny hole in your team gets exposed and the floodgates open up at some point. You find yourself looking up at the scoreboard behind by 30+ points to a team you held to zero first downs the first half.
As a Georgia fan, I ended up screaming at the refs, the play calling, everything. After if was over, however, I realized that the problem was that we played against LSU in the second half of a football game, and that’s just what happens when you have to play 60 minutes of football against those guys.
I can honestly say
that UGA was easily the second best defense we’ve faced this year, and they’re not far behind at all from what Bama and LSU are currently putting on the field. As young as UGA is—I think I read that 21 of 22 guys on the 2-deep will be back next year—with another year of experience and more snaps for the backups, UGA should be downright lethal on D next year. With Murray coming back, I think UGA has to be the early favorites for the east again.
I thought the UGA D hype was just for ESPN ratings
but that was a solid D they put on the field – run stuffing and pass breaking play after play. They had us utterly confused on both sides of the ball the first half. Great coaching. LSU showed great confidence to just take a breath and come back in the next 30 and lay the wood.

Screw 'em if they can't get this one right
All a rematch will do is tell us that LSU and Alabama are very close in quality. It will say nothing about either team against other competition. Frankly, LSU playing (and winning against) OSU would add more legitimacy to BOTH lsu’s #1 ranking and bama’s #2 ranking. And yeah, bama would still be #2. Where they belong. Because they lost. At home.
As a fan, playing alabama again is just going to be anti-climactic for me. Only two choices for any game are win or lose. Usually the reward of the former balances out the risk of the latter. But against Bama, if we lose, it’s “Crap. What a poor ending to an otherwise spectacular season.” If we win, it’s “We already knew that. I wonder what a game vs. an offense like OSU’s would’ve looked like?” At least that’s how it would be for me. There’s no chance to do something we haven’t already done. Lacking that sense of brand new accomplishment. The reward doesn’t merit the risk, in that case. At least that’s how it would be for me.

Syllogism doesn't work in college football
We see it again, and again, and again, and again. Yet some people still persist with thinking “Well Team A beat team B, and team B beat team C, so A must be better than C.” And then C proceeds to whip A’s ass on a platter. There are MULTIPLE examples of this just this year, and even in our own conference. That’s because cfb is not a step-ladder hierarchy of teams. Cfb is about matchups. Every two teams match up differently than anybody else.
Hell…..if we already KNEW how the games would go….why do we even play them?
Besides, you are foolish if you think OSU’s offense is the same as Arkansas’. Other than the fact they are known for flashy pass attacks, that’s about it. Also, Arkansas doesn’t have a receiver like Justin Blackmon. I want Claiborne to get a piece of that dude.
are you surprised about the computer polls? All the speculation earlier was that
beating oklahoma would give Okie state the boost to jump bama in the computers.
I am
I thought OSU would sweep the computer polls as the computers have loved the Big 12 all year long. I thought that was OSU’s ace in the hole. But, with that lead evaporating, I think we’l see Bama in the BCSCG unless there is a massive voter revolt in the Harris.
I’m disappointed we won’t be able to say we beat the Pac-12, Big 12, and Big East Champs (while also being the SEC champs). We could’ve claimed legitimate dominance over 4 of the 6 BCS conferences.
But I’m fine with playing Bama. Let’s beat ‘em again. I guess the first time didn’t count.

I wanted that shot at the all-time greatest season
that I lined out in the fan-post section, playing Bama will take away that chance.
It appears that it’s a double-elimination tourney for Bama, single elimination for LSU. I also really thought OSU would take back their #2 slot in the computers.
Whatevs. If they take away my dream season, I’ll just look on the bright side…..best season ever for LSU, and beating Bama twice.
thanks for the response
I really thought they would get a big computer boost. Who knows.
I think if we play Bama they are going to come in ridiculously overconfident. The whole team, including Saban, basically thinks they lost that game. It’s like they forgot that we beat the crud out of both of their lines by the end of that game – Trent barely wanted the ball in OT. And while they talk about the field goals and eric reid’s pick, they forgot that Lee through two lousy picks and that Hilliard basically didn’t play.
I agree with this
Trent Richardson was on the SVP or Dan Patrick show, and said LSU “didn’t get our best shot.” That’s absurd…if you can’t put your best shot up in the most hyped game in years, at HOME, then it’s your own damn fault. Somehow it’s implied that what we saw from LSU was OUR best shot. Come on, man!
The funny thing is
The Bama Players and Coach are politicking for a rematch because that’s what they have to do at this point. They might even have convinced themselves that they could have won the game if this kick was made or that play or blah, blah, blah….
The reality is this, however, they KNOW in their heart that they couldn’t take anymore of the pounding that LSU was dishing, they KNOW LSU is the most physical team they have EVER faced, they KNOW Saban’s @$$ quit.
They will remember this as they study the film preparing for the rematch, they will remember when they watch the highlights for the next five weeks, and they will remember when the whistle blows and they start getting pounded all over again.
When reality sets in, and i predict it will hit sooner than normal, mid second quarter-ish, BAMA will KNOW that they got what they asked for but it is NOT what they wanted and they will want to fold like a short stack poker-pro with a 3/7 off-suit and nothing but paint on the flop. Problem is, they are already all in so they’ve gotta take the full pounding all the way down the River!
Bring on BAMA, they’re the best team in the nation right now, according to ESPN so, to be the best you gotta beat (the living spit out of) the best.

If you go back and watch that game
It’s not like Bama really held anything back. They threw the kitchen sink at LSU, and the best they could do was Reid’s interception at the 1 yard line.
LSU, on the other hand, played a pretty conservative offense and came out with the win. What do you think is gonna happen when LSU’s defense steps onto that turf?

Now that its over, much like the Dawgs that have posted here, they are complimentary of the Tigers, make no excuses (and no made up stories of how terrible our fans are) and are rooting for us in the ship.
So hat’s off to you Dawgs, good hunting in your bowl game and we’ll see you bout this time next year. (yea, I’m calling it)
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
This Tiger is...
a 30 year Georgia resident with a UGA grad daughter. We went to the game together. We sat in the LSU section and she was on her feet and cheering right up until the punt return. She was treated respectfully early and later on when things turned against the Dawg’s. I love the Tiger’s and our fans. We are a class act and so were the Georgia fans.
Deserves got nothin' to do with it...

Congrats Tigers and Tiger fans
It was an amazing year for you guys. It sounds like it’s gonna be a Bama-LSU rematch. After Gundy ran his mouth I would have loved to see you guys show him his place. But I won’t be upset with 6 in a row. Even though we lost and most people outside of our fan bases called it boring I found it thrilling. There was more first round talent on that field than anywhere else in CFB. I except another amazing game in NO. Again congrats Tigers.
this is it
The contact that takes place when our defense is on the field is very sincere ~ Les Miles
