Saddest thing about that INT last night, WE WERE IN FG RANGE!

A field goal would have WON. We have TWO great RBs including the best in the country. In that situation, you RUN. I can't believe these complete fools call THAT play in THAT situation. Yes, it was a terrible throw on Harris's part, but why is he in that situation to begin with?

Meh. LSU deserved to lose.

Had we won, everyone would think everything was OK and it would be business as usual.

Wisky, with a half decent QB, scores 30 yesterday and blows us out.

Maybe this will enact some sort of change. I seriously doubt it though.

well......we weren't in fg range at the time but, we could have run it 3 times and most definitely had a good chance to be in fg range.

No we weren't. We needed a few more yards to be within Colby's range.

Both coaches seemed determined to call plays at times that gave their team the best chance of blowing any chance of winning.

we were in fg range and that int wasn't even a good play by the db. He threw it right fricking to him.

It's OK to call a pass. You don't have to throw it! If it's not open, just run or throw it away.

Harris doesn't have the football IQ to do so.

I'm fine with the call, even like the aggressiveness.

Better than playing not to lose

If Clapp doesn't false start, I believe we run and set up the game winning fg.

I think that penalty caused LSU to try to get too cute to make up for the lost yards and get back into safer fg range.

And this. Harris is not a good QB.

We won't win anything more than a mid tier bowl with him.

ok we were a yard away, we were well in range until grimes frick heads decided to get a false start.

run the ball and we are in range. However, I don't like depending on a long fg so i don't think throwing was a terrible idea. Harris just fricking sucks

First off, we didn't deserve to win that game, or to even be as close as we were. We were clearly outplayed.

And the FG was a long one. I don't have a problem throwing to get closer. Just An awful, awful decision and throw by Harris.

we needed to get inside the 30 to have a decent shot for Colby. this is not the nfl. the 25 is consistent ncaa range.

No, saddest thing is that we have an inept Quarterback. The guy just doesn't have it. He can't process, and he's not an accurate passer.

Miles should have NEVER went for it on 4th down inside his own territory only down 3-0? in the first half..

Never..

Why on earth do you give them the possibility of such great field position to easily attain a fg.. and those 3 points off that horrendous decision was a difference maker in the outcome..
