Ole Miss always plays us tough. Hell I remember one year, 2006 I think.... LSU is clearly better, Ole Miss hadn't won an SEC game all year with the exception of Vandy, and LSU was flawless minus a heartbreaker at Auburn (the no PI game) and a 5 turnover loss to Florida who won the SEC and a national championship. Lots of people (me being one) believe LSU had the best team in the country that year. LSU finished 3rd in the nation after destroying Notre Dame, catapulting a certain qb to the number 1 overall pick. Ole Miss that year, coached by Yaw Yaw, took us to overtime, no scratch that, we took them to OT because we had to score 13 points in the 4th, Colt David's PAT kick is blocked at the end of regulation, but luckily we win by 3 in OT. Russell had to connect with Craig Davis for a huge 3rd down getting 20, and Bowe for a TD on 4th. This Ole Miss team was garbage, far worse than the one we played the other night. And they should have beaten us... The 3rd best team in the country, arguably the most talented. Ole Miss 3 wins all season. It happens, Ole Miss could start a bunch of scrubs they find in the grove, passed out drunk, and they will always play their best game of the year against us, and LSU will struggle. Those 50-3 games are alot more rare than the close ones. For that I respect the rebellious crack addict looking bears.
They said it was the way they came out. Ole miss looked really motivated and LSU didn't. Matt and Wyatt are their names. 1 played at ole must and the other for MSU. They also said that Zach played lazy in the 1st half. Like he expected to just throw a few tds and was expected to win.
Us fans get it that certain teams just come to play, but when you roll over new players each year at LSU, I have to put it on the coaches to get the best out of the team.
I've noticed it before. Right before the BCSNCG against Bama, their guys looked like they could chew on nails, and we didn't. In the Cotton Bowl against A & M, I thought Steven Ridley was going to kill an Aggie player during the coin toss because he looked almost possessed.
Yes, a D would have been about right. Mettenberger a D as well, only because he did engineer a major comeback and scored 24 points in 1 1/2 quarters of play.
It was a D+ game. D's go the the D-line, the linebackers, and defensive backs. D to the quarterback and O-line, C to the receivers, C to the running backs. Special teams rate an A, mostly because Delahoussay has been perfect. I just jinxed him, didn't I?
Gary Danielson does that all the time--to players of all teams. "An LSU RB hasn't fumbled in the past 1046 carries." Next play? Fumble. "AJ McCarron hasn't thrown an interception in the last 10 games." Next play? Interception (specifically, that happened in the 2010 game in Tiger Stadium.)
They played with no energy from the outset. Bc it's ole miss. This is normal. We usually beat them in spite of it. When bama beat us in the ncg, they dominated us like school kids. It wasn't because we weren't up for them. You always look flat when getting your ass handed to you and getting outmanned. Which we did.
