Got the gore down enough to watch the game a couple of times last night (HD TIVO is very cool) and in retrospect a couple of things jumped out at me:
1. First time in a while I saw the DT's hold their ground. Plus Riley and the other LB's really stayed home when there was a lot of temptation to bite.
2. Patrick Peterson is the best 18 year old football player I've ever seen. His technique on Jones was very strong when he was covering him and when not, he was in the right place basically all the time. All American material, IMHO.
3. LSU's offensive line run blocks like nobody's business in that game. I'm seeing Bama DT's four, five, six yards off the ball or just getting snowed under.
4. I saw maybe four pass plays where I'm pretty sure the receiver was either running the wrong route, or last track of his depth. That plus a couple of drops I can blame on somebody other than JJLee.
5. Lee really did make some horrible mistakes, and despite one really sweet pass to Byrd (1st TD) I could not call that a multi-faceted loss. Sorry. on the 21 passes he threw that were incomplete (13-34-4), I give the O line credit for 1 (blocked pocket backwards), the receivers credit for 4 (none of the pics), coaches for 2 (I'm assuming they called the plays I saw against the WORST defensive alignment possible for that pass) and that leaves 14 really bad, out of his mind, poor execution plays out of 34 times when he threw the ball (hope my math holds up).
A lot can happen in 14 plays, good and bad. This time it was pretty bad.
