    Had Guice gone the right direction he basically walks into the end zone, to fuck it up after a cpl of timeouts is absolutely Miles'ish and ridiculous.

    I thought they should have called that play on third down. They set it up all day by pounding Moore up the middle. It probably would have worked in this case as well but it was easy to see the end crashing down after the second time they ran Moore.

    Just thinking about it continues to depress me. It was a winnable game and we threw it away.

    The play to the FB worked most of the day and you go with that play especially from the 1. Guice should have scored had he done what he was supposed to. The plays were good wasnt executed period end of story

    Great 20 20 vision the last play was set up and Guice obviously went the wrong way. Coaches called right play and everyone did their job but Guice you over complcating this.

    As much as I want Coach O to get the job, he should have never even considered putting him in the game hurt. That alone probably cost him the job. I believe that Les doing the same thing had a lot to do as to when he was fired.

    Go back and look at the slide they all did their job except Guice. If you look at the slide the play was set up perfectly. The safety bit on Moore he was tackling Moore, our TE was sealing off their DE pretty plain to see in the slide and the LB was not in position to get to Guice in time and even if he did Guice had the angle to force his way into the endzone. 90% of the losses can be mainly the coaches fault not this one however.

    I am totally confused with what you are saying. What did Fournette have to do with the loss? I thought him inserting himself and playing hurt fired up the team. Sorry I didnt see him fumble, muff a snap, blow a coverage or go the wrong on a designed play. All I saw him do was gain 40 yds on 12 carries and gain 29 passing yds. He asked to play and why would you deny Fournette a chance to play in his last LSU home game? Am I wrong for thinking this?

    As much as I appreciate leonard he shouldn't have been able to make that decision

    I never said he had anything to do with the loss, I'm just saying it was stupid move to play him hurt. Les playing him hurt showed his stupidity and I believe it contributed to him getting fired right away. I know I would have fired him. Same thing with Coach O, stupid move to play him. Does RGIII ring a bell??
