Easy with the panic folks!!!

I had to leave for work last night early in the second quarter. Was sick to my stomach at the egg the Tigers were laying at that point. Heard us score right before the half on the radio and before having to turn my phone off checked the score, we are only down by one score. Didn't get to check out the Tivo until this morning. This loss was not nearly the woodshedding many on the board are making it out to be.

Go on the road in the SEC against a team one year removed from a Natl Championship, sporting the returning Heisman winning q-back, talk some smack to give them a little extra motivation, and bring an inexperienced quarterback tandem and secondary. What exactly are we expecting. With 7-ish minutes to go in the third quarter we were scaring the crap out of Gator nation.

Florida had an excellent defensive plan, stack the line with 8 in the box, force LSU to throw and see if they can beat you. On the couple of series that Lee was ON we marched up and down the field like a track meet! When he wasn't, we throw two picks (get one returned for 6), fumble a handoff, throw into coverage and put the ball into difficult places for our receivers (they dropped a few they probably should have caught as well.) Then we have to start gambling, on-side kicking, going for it on fourth down and put our D into holes, allowing a pretty good football team to score a few "meaningless" TD's. The only thing that really disappointed me was letting the waterbug backs run free on us. TT/"Jesus in cleats" threw one TD in the red zone to Harvin and ran one in on the sweep/keeper. No credit for the 70-yd tip/fluke on the push-off. I think we had a pretty good plan to keep him in check, their young backs just stepped up and played their asses off.

Keep the faith and give our young guys time to grow up in the SEC a little bit!
