re: Many of you have accepted mediocrity

there were only 3 drives the whole game that the defense committed a penalty that lead to points. The first they got a field goal. The second the got a field goal and the last one they got a touchdown. Now on that touchdown the penalty was in the first Olay that happened in the drive which moved the ball from the 21 to the 36 yard line of state. So 13 points total was "given" to state because of penaties.

Other then the first two drives and the touchdown drive for LSU (6 plays for the first and 7 for the second) the offense didn't run more then 5 plays a drive until the 4th quarter when the game was already over. Both of which ended on a turnover on downs. So yeah I think it was more so the offense being crappy more so then the penalties. Did it have an effect on the game? Sure but not as much as you make it seem.
