Same reason that OU is ranked number 1, and USC and Ohio State are always ranked high. .... the Meeeeeeeediiiaaaaaa! :geaux:
Oregon had more total yards; same numberr of first downs. Judging by the score one would not assume this, right? Only the score matters but I think that's what he was referring to. Not to mention our defense chipping in 6 taking a fumble in for a TD. Turnovers was the biggest factor imo. The Oregon players cramping happened to come with a lil momentum shift too. Looking at those pictures bblanc posted you can really see how well conditioned our kids are. Props to our S&C coach too.
Yep. And Oregon didn't. All of this "will cause us problems down the road" stuff doesn't concern me at all.
Beckham appeared to be open most of the night. He looks like a keeper once he holds onto the ball. Peterson should help the mid range passing game. With either him taking a LB/Safety away from the defense (and hopefully one of each) that should open our receivers up with 1 on 1 coverage.
Gotta realize we haven't had a rhythm in the passing game for a few yrs. None of the wrs have any experience much less with a new starting qb. With that said, the offense at least has an identity. Passing game will become a factor.
LSU shows why SEC is the Top Dog - News - Opinions - bnd.com great read! NEWS - WIRE FEEDS - NEWS - OPINIONS Sunday, Sep. 04, 2011 0 Comments LSU shows why SEC is the Top Dog By TIM COWLISHAW - The Dallas Morning News E-MAIL PRINT TEXT SIZE: ARLINGTON, Texas -- When Jerry Jones reached deep into his own pockets to finish Cowboys Stadium (admittedly after collecting all he could from local taxpayers), he dreamed of creating a great showcase for one of the nation's most storied football teams. He just didn't know it would be for LSU. After finishing their 2010 season with a nice thrashing of Texas A&M in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic played here, the Tigers opened their 2011 season with a convincing 40-27 win over No. 3-ranked Oregon. It was a fitting reminder of where the real power lies in college football. The Ducks may have played in the last BCS national championship, and Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott was questioned by the media here as if he holds all the cards in the conference-shuffling that dominates the major college scene. But on the field, it's the SEC that rules the game. LSU has been as instrumental as any team in the conference in igniting and sustaining that powerful run.
