Well....good opening drive but again can't get the job done when need to the most. Hopefully we have 10 guys in the box trying to stop their run

 

[cj_mc7]

Have to try a run play at least once.....

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

You're not going to win by kicking FG's when you have the ball on the 2 yard line...


Dang!!! Need TD's

 

[jeff2001]

No reason for our safeties to 8 miles from the ball today.

 

[paladin181]

Well.. It's not lopsided yet... :/

 

[paladin181]

I hate seeing rushing plays like that where tacklers bounce off the RB instead of wrapping him up.

 

[jeff2001]

Can't even slow them down .

 

[cj_mc7]

See what happens when a team runs the ball near the goal line......

 

[1vagamecock]

Have feeling LSU isn't even trying

 

[G-C-Gamecock]

Nah, we would rather hope an excited walk-on who overthrows 6'4" receivers suddenly becomes accurate.

 

[usaguy40]

DUMB....what was that

 

[uscgamecok]

I don't know why we continually try to pass when we don't have a good QB or receivers...especially in short yardage situations

 

[gman29577]

I thought the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Les isn't taking it easy on us.

 

[paladin181]

4th and 2... And still not willing to run from under center. Tired of shotgun on these short downs.

 

[Sending an SOS]

You just saw the definition of bad coaching with a call to go for it in your own territory. When your defense is having trouble and your offense is less than efficient, you don't go for it and give your opponent a short field

 

[uscjunkie36]

Did the slant get banned by the NCAA? Maybe I missed it!

 

[paladin181]

I thought the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Les isn't taking it easy on us.

And the sad part is they're going to cruise.

 

[Cybercock]

Are we thar desperate? Or are we just that dumb?

 

[uscjunkie36]

When you go for it like that you are telling your team we know you can't win....SOS really needs to go!

 

[robertfootball]

LSU is toying with us.

 

[jeff2001]

LSU is toying with us.

Agree

 

[cj_mc7]

Why not pin then deep?? Kelley has been money on punts all season so far.

 

[superflyby]

The defense has come to play guys....

 

[jeff2001]

GREAT JOB BY THE D.

 

[robertfootball]

The defense has come to play guys....

No they haven't, LSU isn't even letting LF play a whole lot. We still suck on defense, don't worry.

 

[cj_mc7]

Can we stop this rollout crap please?

 

[superflyby]

No they haven't, LSU isn't even letting LF play a whole lot. We still suck on defense, don't worry.

7 carries 17 yds....come on dude....so far

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

We can hope for Les Miles having a brain fart.

 

[robertfootball]

7 carries 17 yds....come on dude....so far

They're tackling him but he's getting first downs on this drive. He just hasn't run off the big play yet. Our offense won't help our defense any so you'll see him get cranked up here in a bit and the second half.

 

[uscgamecok]

Defense blows....#55 totally didn't try and missed the tackle when it was 3rd and 6 giving up the first down. Stupid personal foul penalty. Then our guy doesn't even defend the fade pass...he didn't even look back. This team is downright bad

 

[Cybercock]

Can't stop third and forever as usual so we end up giving up a TD.

For 2 years nobody has been able to beat him out .

 

[jeff2001]

YESSSSSSSS

 

[chucktowncock]

BOOM!

 

[usaguy40]

whens the last time we did that

 

[uscjunkie36]

The more I watch the more angry at Spurrier I get! No offense.....No defense.....what the hell are you here for? Any high school coach could produce this result on the field. If we are going to be ok with this crap then save the money and hire some smuck off the street. At least special teams has gotten better after 11 years.

 

[Cybercock]

Thank God he ran it all the way back. If we get tackled short....it's a fg at best.

 

[Sending an SOS]

Who was the last player to run back a kickoff? Matthew Thomas?

 

[Golden Cock]

Holy cow!

Anyway we can gittem.
