re: So do we deem the 'players only' meeting a success?

If the metric is W/L, then of course.
If the metric is performance on the field, I wouldn't agree at all. If anything, we regressed to a certain extent - aside of LF7's monster game and 3rd and "California" ( ) conversion, where did we improve? Our QB still can't/didn't make the throws we needed, O-Line couldn't hold the UF defense and our special teams had the worst outting probably in the last 5 years.
Not trying to rain on LSU's parade, but where did we benefit?
One bright point was our defense.....but then again, UF's offense a la JDriskel is turrible anyway.
You actually make a good point; however, I think the point of this thread is to address the mental state of the players and them owning the responsibility of their "play" on the field.....the coaches can only do so much, at some point the players have to know that they must execute and have discipline........if the players don't hold themselves accountable to their "on-the-field" performance, there's nothing ANY coach can do.......

No, he does not. The offensive line was clearly blocking the Florida front seven better than they had. The running game was obviously improved. Defense stepped up BIG TIME. Take away the special team miscues and the game is not even close.
You can only play the team in front of you, not the previous or the next.
That post is typical south Louisiana negative self-loathing. It is self-destructive.

While I agree this is true, what is being asked is - "was the players only meeting a success" so it really depends on what barometer you are using as success? Better play? W/L? More yards? Giving up less yards? etc etc.
The defense in particular seemed to have had some motivation. They just looked fired up.
