Looking back now, was the Ole Miss game the most blown out of proportion game ever?

By the talking heads?
It's like the media read the stats and NOTHING else. No one turned on the TV in the first half? Ole Miss started off with in the first half
Punt,
Missed field goal,
Punt,
Punt,
Punt,
TD
End on downs
It was 31-7 in the first half.
I can't remember a game more that we dominated that we got so much shite for by the media.

I kind of agree. The most obvious factor which NEVER was mentioned by the heads.... was on the road a week after traveling to Tuscaloosa.

I think the media helped us get focused if that makes sense.

I think when you’re as dominant as LSU was last season, haters will look for anything they can to downgrade your team.

No, because it was so sudden and happened numerous times. Either we had a structural problem or an attitude problem and either were troubling. Didn’t show that we were ready to continue to step on the throat.

Plus that was an injuries and suspension game... Plumlee said beforehand that he was going to run thru our defensive set up

Yes. It was pure ignorance.
LSU just went on the road and beat Alabama in a highly charged, emotional game and then took a 31-7 lead against a highly inferior Ole Miss by the half. They let off the gas some in the second half and Plumlee gashed them for a few big plays. Talking heads, incapable of rational thought, blew it all out of proportion and ridiculed the defense. It worked out in our favor though, as the defense played the rest of the year with a chip on their shoulder and shut everyone else completely down.

No, the defense had one of the worst halves of football in recent memory. It was embarrassing

Yes

Looking back?? Anyone with half a brain who actually watched the games knew immediately it was blown out of proportion.

Maybe. I know it was the catalyst this defense needed to start dominating for 4 quarters instead of 2.
Posted on 1/22/20 at 8:04 pm to SmackDaniels
Plumlee should get a replicated championship ring for his help in waking up the LSU defense... and Ole Miss should hang a "Banner of Assistance" next to their 2003 SEC West Co-Championship banner.

Worst game we had by far was Moo State. Big win at home week prior against Florida and went on the road to StarkVegas and looked like crap. Terrible.
Posted on 1/22/20 at 8:05 pm to SmackDaniels
Best thing to happen. Lit a fire and the defense played with a chip.
Posted on 1/22/20 at 8:07 pm to SmackDaniels
The game caused some eye popping stats and its more interesting to draw crazy conclusions than be tempered with context.
Posted on 1/22/20 at 8:08 pm to SmackDaniels
Plumlee made the LSU D look like a high school D a few times. Nobody expected that. It was worth discussing.

Never forget that this was a “test of will, character, and true perseverance”, and also swiftly forgotten by the media.

Aranda get another shot at stopping the Ole Miss offense week 1 of 2020.
Baylor vs. Ole Miss (in Houston)
and yes... OM success vs. LSU was way overblown

That game was mostly blown out of proportion by opposing fans and national media desperate for a weakness
Posted on 1/22/20 at 8:29 pm to SmackDaniels
I’m convinced that the defensive issues we saw in the beginning of the season were a masterly crafted bait tactic by Aranda and co. that gave teams a false sense of security. We showed “holes” in our defense so teams would feel they could be exploited. Sure enough, when they stepped on the field and went for it, it wasn’t there. We let Ole Miss run around on us to show the better QBs of our later schedule (and potentially Clemson) that they could run. Obviously they couldn’t. With the exception of Auburn, who has a great D themselves, every game was pretty much in hand after a couple drives. Why show your real cards? It was all a show until it was time to cash in and damn it was played phenomenally.
