Best win in 5 to 6 years

[Swamp Donkey]

I see your point about the stats, Law, but we did not turn the ball over, we executed better on the simple plays and were able to possess the ball better b/c of that. yes we need to score TD's and not FG's but when Butters is running toss plays from the 1 inch line what do you expect?

Well, what's going to change? Whomever the problem is, Butters or Nuss, will he suddenly become better.

This could finally be some change in our 7 years of continual mediocrity? Finally a change in attitude? Finally a spark in recruiting?

I hope it isn't interpreted as evidence that no change is needed in this staff.

Our biggest upset win in 40 years?

Weren't we huge dogs against Crackumbus State?

Amazing win and heck of a game at the end. The line has definitely manned up the last few games with everyone switching over. Sharpe still amazes me on how slow he can be at times. He was still in his stance when Key got the sack. Still lots of room for improvement, but great feeling to stick it to all of their fans and UT. Scarlett was a beast today and even though we basically only had 1 big play it was for 98 yards. Nuss and Mac need to stop getting cute though as that pitch on the 1 inch line was a blunder call when we are killing them up the middle. The D was ok considering the youth and injuries. For as good as they played in the red zone they were basically giving up the other 80 with ease, but our young LB's may actually be pretty good once they learn how to handle play action and covering TEs. REese seems to be the real deal and the hit by joseph was great to keep him out of the end zone. Where was this team when we played Arky?

Apparently, we weren't 13.5 point dogs.

Lots of good and bad. Great win regardless.

Look at the kids/youth that was on the last play/goal line stand. Gotta be happy about that.

If we ever get a great OL, above average QB, and an OL coach and OC we might be legitimate SEC contenders, which would make us playoff contenders. Oh, and if we replace the defensive stars we're losing...

This win was huge. It's probably the win that sends jimbo to baton Rouge too

Excellent coaching job all round. I don't know what happened against South Carolina but the Oline has really come together starting with that game. TJ McCoy in the center of the line has solidified it. That guy can push up field.

And the 1-2 punch of Scarlet and Perine can be devastating.

Yes, turnovers had a little something to do with the outcome, but the defensive stand at the end was phenomenal and we've had many games where we have lost the turnover battle and got routed. So turnovers are just part of the game.

Honestly, I saw a push coming on the OL vs UGA. We then took a step back vs Arky but you could see it in Jax.

Scarlett/Perine, Callaway/Cleveland, Lewis at TE. Skill positions on offense looking good if we can produce a QB.

I would love to see lswho overpay for jimbo the clown.

Me too. it would open the door for us to get our state back in recruiting

Yes this WIN was HUGE as it was totally unexpected by EVERYONE across the country INCLUDING Gator fans. Our guys could have just mailed this game in since we were playing with 2nd and 3rd team players on the road in one of the biggest upsets ever for us besides 06 vs OSU.

The team played with fire; when they do that, they can be very good. And overlooked from the game: only 1 penalty for 5 yards. Refs let both teams play and considering the pre-game scuffle, the lack of flags was mind boggling. And Gators won the turnover battle 2 - 0. That was really big. I also feel that playing the game at mid-day helped some, if not the Gator team, definitely the Gator fans who were there. Tiger Stadium at night can be a very intimidating place with 90,000+ drunk corn dogs yelling obscenities. I would loved to have seen the faces of the LSU president and AD sitting in their box at Tiger Stadium as the Gators started celebrating on their field. Once again, FV*K LSU, may worms infest your shrimp gumbo forever.

I liked what the Refs did at the beginning of the game hitting LSU with the 15 yard PF. I think that set the tone of No BS today guys. The lack of laundry on field was great. Nice job by players and coaches on that.

J I think it boils down to two things. Taylor and McCoy. I think those two have solidified things and moving Tez to Guard seems to really help. I would love to see us go with a snap count rather than a center auto snap. That would benefit Sharpe who is so slow moving off the LOS or to Pass Block.

Hopefully that's a once in a lifetime experience.

I think it is perfect payback for the arrogance and bullying by LSU. They had no chance to win the SEC, so they had nothing to lose. They knew Florida needed to play the game, so LSU forced unreasonable terms. Now, not only did LSU lose another game and the Gators win the east, but Florida gets more home games in the future against them.

It just doesn't pay to act like a jerk. The payback was perfect.

We should never be 12.5 underdogs to 6-3 teams. LSU will end up 6-5 and unranked possibly in the Birmingham Bowl. Let that sink in for a second. I'm happy with a win but should we ever be two TD dogs to a 6-3 team? Let's beat FSU next week and we can really celebrate.

LSU will be favored to win against aTm which would put them at 7-4, which is basically the same record FSU will have if we beat them next week.

Personally, I think that LSU has played a tougher schedule and is the better team.
