Good point - defense did play hard. My above comments really apply to the offense. I actually feel bad for the defense. You could see the way they were desperately trying to scoop and score on that fumble they felt it was all on them.
You may be right. I have said that if Jennings had a bad game, then Harris would get another shot. Well, Jennings had that bad game and Harris should have been given a drive by the third quarter. I'm beginning to agree that there may be something going on with Harris that we're not being told, just like with J. Lee. Not slamming Fournette at all. It was a "who'd 'a' thunk?" comment. Naa, there was a lot of blame to pass around all over. Les didn't miss those field goals. But this team was not ready to play and ultimately it is the head coach's job to make sure they are ready to play football.
I really feel for the D as well. They are playing at a championship level. I also feel for the kids on O because they are not being coached up. Plus the HC is too goddamn stubborn to make a change at QB or at least give Harris some PT to prove himself. I'm Purple and Gold through and through and will always love my Tigers. However I'm done with Miles after last night.
You right there is a LOT of blame to pass around. I mainly put it on Miles though because he is the HC. He is the common denominator to all the issues LSU has had on O the last few years(outside of last year). I know last week was an emotional battle. The kids were bound to be done after losing a game they should have won. The coach has to spark them. I just think it's becoming a culture here of being ill prepared and not improving.
I'll probably get slammed for this comparison, but if memory serves, Jefferson got his first career start in the final regular season game. He was adequate on that day, but played inspired a month later in a minor bowl game. I'll take a similar move here, as long as the parallel doesn't continue into next year.
The ugly: There will be NO DIFFERENCE NEXT YEAR The Uglier: The Hallmark Channel Christmas movie sucked. The UGLIEST: Pretty good chance NO SEC TEAM in the final four. It could happen. Easily!
Bet the Hallmark movie was better than the LSU Arky game. You fared better, trust me. Actually, I take that back. My wife watches those pathetic movies, too, and they do suck, prolly more than that game last night.
