    Talking about the last touchdown where Lee connected to Shepard.

    I can't read lips too well, but I thought maybe he was questioning the play call by Stud to "pile it on"?

    Might be way off here, that's why I am asking if anyone knew what he was saying on his headset up to the booth?

    I have no problem with LSU scoring the last TD. LSU drove the ball down their throat with running plays and capped it off with a pass to the flat where Shepard avoided the tackle and had the want to score. I hate to say it was up to UT to stop us that late in the game, but it was. I, personally, do not think we were trying to run up the score. I also think, that with 7:38 left in the game, up 31 to 7, Mettenberger should have been in the game taking reps vs Lee/Jefferson.

    I don't think we ran it up either. I mean, Lee had only thrown but a handful of times!

    After a bit of a slow start (hey, it happens to the best of them), we used the "wear them down ground-n-pound" philosophy that has worked wonders all season long until where we were extremely efficient on offense (scoring on almost every posession) and shortened the game to the point it was WELL out of reach for UT to get ANYTHING but a consolation score (which they never got). But we still have to run our offense; still have to keep the passing game sharp.

    Yeah ... you want to see "run it up" .. Bama ran it up on poor Ol Piss.

    That is partly why all the pin heads, like Edward Asz-choff can't think of anything but Bama.

    I would like nothing better than for LSU to put a hurt on Bama. ...not just beat them, but expose them.

    As for Lee-Shep .. I think Shep needed that score.

    To be perfectly honest, the object of football is to score as many as you can while holding your opponent to as few as you can. There's no such thing as "running up the score" really.

    If you can't compete, don't. I could go through the history of Tennessee football and find many examples of them keeping their foot on the gas.

    I saw it and don't think he liked it

    Les is a take a knee type guy and I have heard him talk about it


    we could have scored 60 on Tenn but it is part of Les to take Victory

    and not to make the other coach look bad

    I certainly have no problem with a pass into the flat in that situation. They weren't going for 70.
    My lip reading skills are very good as well. I thought he said "Should we fake the extra point?"

    That's my guess is that he was slightly annoyed with the play call.

    Would be one thing to get the TD running, but entirely another to throw it with the score 31-7. From Les' perspective.
