How did we beat the crap out of everyone during the regular season, then stink it up once we got to the playoffs?

We played a sloppy game. It was one of those games where it seemed like all if the bounces went against LSU. Every time LSU came close to scoring something would go wrong to take the pressure off.

The deciding point in the game was a 10 minute period where Arizona outscored LSU 13-0 with the help of penalty after penalty from LSU.

When things weren't going as expected for the first time this year LSU just couldn't bounce back and get things going. Every single time LSU gained some momentum they would screw up and shoot themselves in the foot, either by knocking the ball on or committing a penalty.

Another issue is that LSU hadn't been tested until today. In the meantime Arizona played some of the best teams in the country throughout the season. That experience is what helped them in sloppy conditions today.

The score is a poor indicator of how the game went. It was much closer than the score indicates.
