re: Now that the dust is settled, the Florida game is just fricking embarrasing

What's more embarrassing the FLA game or the coaching hire

It was at the time

What's embarrassing is that people blamed O for the gameplan being terrible when LSU outgained Florida 432–289, won the time of the possession by over eight minutes and converted seven of 14 third downs while holding the Gators to four of 13.

Guice fumbled on first-and-goal from the Florida seven-yard line in the second quarter. Then, on the opening drive of the second half, Growden fumbled the snap on a field goal and tossed an incomplete prayer into the end zone for a turnover on downs.

With O, I'm feeling the need to lower our expectations

Please hurry up and lower them, so you won't disappointed if don't win the playoff every year, and we won't have to put up with your crying like a spoiled child.

The Florida loss is NOT O's fault. As another poster pointed out, we moved the ball pretty well, but turnovers killed us. Those were not the result of bad play calls or poor decisions by coaches. They were mistakes by 18-22 year olds.

Had ANY of those turnovers not occurred, then LSU would have likely been needing only a FG to go to OT.

Had any of those turnovers not occurred, we'd have beaten Florida in regulation easily and, until the committee inevitably fricked us ragged, would be slotted for the Sugar Bowl.

Well said. If I had to rank all four losses, the Florida loss was most disturbing to me. We drove up and down the field all day, made 5 trips into their red zone and only scored 10 points.There where some moments in the TAMU first half where LSU's offense appeared to be repeating the mistakes of the Florida game, but fortunately they turned it around.

Emsminger did an admirable job with what he was given, overall, and it sounds like he burned a lot of midnight oil along the way. Glad he is back to coaching the TEs, though, and looking forward to the new OC announcement.

And a stud LT. We're still a ways to go.

The game was lost on two fumbles and a screwed up play by a RB.

And a botched kick return.

An interception, a half a second and a busted play all at the end of those games gave us 3 losses...

we should be 10-1....sad for the team and final 4 hopes we lost all in virtually 3 plays
