Speaking of the Arkansas game in particular, but you could make reference to other similar games this year if you'd like.

I believe that the Arkansas game the day after Thanksgiving was over when ........

LSU won the toss and deferred to the second half, again, to put our less than stellar defense on the field to start the game and let the Razorbacks go the length of the field to score and gain the momentum to start the game.

We also lost it when we drove to a 1st down on the Arkansas 4 yard line and came away with 3 points, then on the next drive got deep into Arkansas territory again and missed a field goal.

Either a TD or a made field goal and we win that game.

Of course if we play with discipline on the field and don't commit 2 dead ball fouls late in the game we win as well.

In the bowl game, how about taking the ball, letting your up and coming redshirt freshman take your offense the length of the filed to score a game starting TD and take the bull by the horns and go for a win, not play field position when you can't pull it off. We need more aggressiveness in all three phases of the game.

The fact that we don't do this, to me is a sign of poor coaching decisions. You've got to do what you've got to do to win today.

Good point Paul RE: Perilloux was kicked off the team.

But, it was over when he decided to be a knuckle head again and not tell the coaches he was going to miss a team meeting due to his fathers funeral. What a dumb and immature decision.

Hey LSUEGO,

Thanks for the LINK. Good one and I loved watching it again.

It was also over when we decided to not pressure the Razorback young QB.

We got stupid on that last possession. Shouldn't have been a problem to advance 15 yds and win it with a FG. Once that didn't happen, it was idiotic to go for the 65+ yd FG. Has to be one of the stupidest calls I've ever seen....right up there with Arky kicking it short when we only needed a FG to win it. Derrh.

Hello, nobody is blaming the coin toss.

It's the "coaching decision" to defer after we win the toss that is in question when your defense can't stop the lighthouse for the blind.

I know, i'm just being an azz. It just seems this season we've heard every possible excuse. I don't see why it matters our defense took the field 1st. They got to get out there and play eventually. Correct me if i'm wrong, which i usually am, didn't our offense score on the opening drive of the second half, so does that not even it out. light house for the blind, thats good stuff.
