The Official LSU Vs TCU Thread

The big stat of the night in my opinion is the 13-19 on 3rd down conversions.

 

Do I need to make him a hat?

 

I was out this morning representing at the local Harris Teeter (Grocery Store) Yellow tee, purple letters, in a manly, 4x.

Got three "good games," one "hope you guys beat Alabama," and one "come and get me big guy" stare from a 35 year old hottie....well the last one ain't true, but the first two were!

Geaux Tigers!

 

LSU looked pretty good last night.

great pass game
run game needs some work.
great pass protection
run defense needs some work
Special teams need some work ...

But all in all, looked good, with some nice balance.

McGee needs more reps .. he looked fricken awesome. Mett looked awesome .. receivers looked amazing, but still there were some dropped balls ... hard catches, but that's what a top receiver does.

Don't know what was up with the run defense ... maybe just inexperience .. but it "seemed" they let TCU have a lot of unearned yards.

Overall ... Happy Happy Happy.

 

1) LSU seems to always play to the opponent. 2) LSU never opens the Playbook more than they have too. Or seems that way to me anyhow. 3)
Mett and Cameron are daring defenses to stack that box now. They made tcu pay when they did it. And kudos to the walk on kicker. Delhousay. Great job splitting them uprights.

I have great expectations this year.

 

Yesterday was flat out hot in DFW. A Bama alum fan neighbor of ours called right before the second quarter of the Bama game ended--they'd lost power at his house. I told him his game was on, and we had food for days being put out. The more, the merrier.

But then I was terrified we were going to have a rolling blackout on the first day of football season.

 

I know I am flogging a dead hornfrog, but I have really never seen the kind of holding EVERY play that TCU was perpetrating. There might have been maybe two, maybe three calls on the night. It was utterly amazing.

 

The refs were hands off all night. There was a lot of contact down field by both teams that was ignored. In today's age with passing on every down, its unheard of to see so few PI calls.

 

I thought the game was well called. One of my big pet peeves is when pass defenders have contact but don't interfere...and they call interference. When a defender puts his hand on the receiver and doesn't impede any motion or unduly bump the receiver changing his flight to the ball....it's a no call.

I only saw the first half and I was amazed at TCU's Dbacks how they almost interfered on every pass play.

I was doubly amazed at how the ball was right on target on every pass play.

Fellas, we may have the best LSU quarterback since Bert Jones....(Paul Lyons didn't count LOL).

 

Both of the first red zone "failures" were due to non called PI's.
