I want to get up by enough that Max J gets all of the 4th quarter.

This. SC was a bad throw away from another wide open TD

USC watched mizzou film and thought they were going to roll their helmets out here and walk on us. Our D has made 3 or 4 really great plays, a few more ok plays and a bunch of bad plays.

I kind of want to see more of Finley. But I also want to see Max too.

I don't think anyone is saying they are playing lock-down defense we all are used to, but clearly they did show some improvement. Stopping SC on the first possession of the second half will be huge for them, IF they can pull it off.

sometimes you have to grind it out to establish that road grader mentality

Agreed. I am not trying to poopoo the effort or improvement. It’s there. But there are still some major problems. I’m happy with a 3 TD lead. But we can all agree, SC isn’t playing their best game. I’m very interested in seeing if there are any halftime adjustments and counters.

That 51 yard Marshall TD was badass!

One is the biggest stats of the 1st half:

LSU 5/7 on 3rd down.

Round of applause

bigger surprise: finley or only giving up 10 at the half?
