We played well. I don’t understand the naysaying that is going on here. Over the last decade we don’t play that well in that environment. Basically we get blown out. Do we have depth issues....yes! Do we have opportunities in coaching, especially on d....yes! But here is a fact.
We had 6 75+ yard drives, 457 yards of offense, controlled the clock and had nearly 30 first downs. We beat most teams last night. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in a shootout with a very good team at home (#2 today in polls). We made a couple of critical errors at crucial times. Things we could work out of against most teams, in most games...not there not last night. Another game with 300 yards passing. Well in the game till very late. Clean up a few mistakes and we have a legitimate chance last night. We are a star system better than we’ve been. Even our 11-1 Chimp year and the 10 win years with Sharkhumper would have ended in a blowout 9 out of ten times, every thing the same. This is the best LSU team in years, and we hung with them in their element. We were their toughest challenge thus far.
