Glad to get the win, as ugly as it was. That said, I'm so damn tired of these games where LSU practically snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Granted, tonight, if LF7 doesn't fumble twice in the 2nd half we're likely not having this discussion. MSU is not that good of a team, and they almost pulled off an upset in our house. I'm not feeling real confident about things.
I was just thinking that a Chavis defense would likely have allowed MSU to score with his prevent defense nonsense. I was very happy that we were aggressively pursuing the QB on that series.
Well since your previous post indicated that you didn't see the second half, let me tell you what you did not see (and a few people who did see don't want to admit). Until the turnover on downs at the end, our second half average starting field position was our own 15 yard line. We started inside the 7 twice, on the 1 once. LF 7 turned it over twice in the second half, both times inside MSU's 40. A major penalty wiped out a completion for a first and killed another drive. Both our starting tackles went out of the game in third quarter and caused us to shuffle the line (one did come back in the 4th). But none of that seems to matter.... wtf indeed.
Excellent points. And if LF7 doesn't fumble...twice...we're not having this discussion at all. You have to figure LSU would have scored on at least one of those drives. The onsides kick -- what can you say. I thought that since it was touched by MSU around the 48 and not touched by an LSU player at all, then recovered by MSU at the LSU 34 or whatever it was, that it would have to come back to the 48. I thought that an onsides kick can't be advanced?
