2 of them should have resulted in touchdowns if not for self inflicted wounds. One of them was a certainly a bad one that gained no yardage and the last one was a clock drainer to go into the half. So of the 3 real drives, we could have gotten two touchdowns.


In the 2nd half we had 4 drives and 3 of them resulted in touchdowns. So of 7 possessions not including the one draining the clock before half time, 6 of them very well could have been touchdowns drives.


The offense didn't fire on all cylinders but there's some reason for Optimism. Let's give them a tuneup against Southern and see what it looks like against State next weekend.

House not being able to get his D off the field really killed us. FSU grinding the clock made it hard to watch.

That bad snap was a momentum killer, the game could have been totally different.

Defense letting them chip away and convert 3rd downs kept our offense off the field. Our offense is dangerous because at any time Daniels can take off for 25. You have to account for that so that takes a man out of coverage. Just have to be able to block the pressure packages teams will send.

And FSU should have had a FG with 1:20 left and the game would have been over. You can't play "should have" with one team and not the other.

I’ve been repeating this exact thing since the night of the game to everyone claiming the qb sucks and the offense sucked. Reading this board you would think LSU didn’t gain a yard til the 4th quarter when FSU allowed them to score the points.

Daniels finished the game with 8 straight completions and was 14/18 in the 4th Quarter. Definitely reason for optimism.

The third drive we had a 3rd and 5 inside the 10 before a false start. Wire got the call but if you rewatch it, like 4 players jumped a half second early. Looks to me like the center snapped it late.

Our D is average at best. Without Maason, it may not be average. Not we are used to.

Shouldn’t it be concerning that we only had 7 real drives?

I can't wait to see what improvements we make from week one to week two.

Hopefully with the jitters out and a game under our our belt we'll come out and really show our stuff.

The defense didn’t allow FSU into the red zone during the first half and when the punt was muffed inside the red zone our D gave up 0 points.

Good post.

Bottom line...defense MUST get off the field. Win if they do, lose if they do.

State has an excellent passer in Will Rogers.

Dellinger probably doesn't botch that one snap up if he had a full game under his belt at center prior to FSU

Nabers probably doesn't muff those punts either
