re: Its Not Just the Defense

Are you freakin' kidding me?!?!?!?!?

What team have you been watching?!?!?!?!?

It doesn't matter if LSU's offense goes three and out. LSU's defense should be able to get a few three and outs itself when it counts, and it could not.

Was it the offense's fault that T. Johnson got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct AFTER the defense had stopped Arky deep in its own end of the field? Was it the offense's fault Rahim Alem had a brain fart a short time later for the same penalty, resulting in another first down? Was it the offense's fault that Peterson dropped an interception on that last drive that would have ended the game? Was it the offense's fault that the Hogs drove right down LSU's throat on the opening drive of the game?

Bottom line, son: LSU led the game 30-14 late in the game and lost 31-30 to a crappy team because the defense couldn't stop the other team. Had the defense been doing it's job, it wouldn't have gotten tired, because it would have gotten ITSELF off the field.
