No, I was more concerned with the # of starters on both sides of the football still in the game with a huge lead--you don't want to risk injury with 'Bama coming up. I think Miles has done a great job this season, but this is something I have noticed about him. It seems like he requires at least a 35-point lead before he will rest the regulars, and in some games, even more.

I like limiting yardage and scoring, but not as much as I like healthy, rested starters.

I would've loved holding them to under 200 yards and winning 45-3, but if a starter had been injured then none of it would have mattered.

My dad always hates those late TDs. LSU will give up 250 yards of offense, but 85 will come on the final drive.

Since LSU rotates 2/3 deep at each position, it's tough to get the regulars out of the game.

Ehhh. They rotate a shitload of players throughout the game. It's not like anyone's really getting worn down. Plus the scrubs were in by the fourth quarter here.

If you want to nitpick, it's fine, I guess. But, this is about the tiniest nit you can get to pick.

Probably, because their stadium's still full. Or maybe it's 'cause their coach is intense. Who knows?

Was it the first time you've attended a game? I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

See, who says Tiger Stadium is not passionate anymore. Of course, maybe he was one of our resident SuperFan Heroes. Rag, is that you?

The good thing about "garbage time" tds, is that one team has to be beating the shite out of another team.

It sucks, but is this really something you have a problem with?

We have used 32 guys on defense. argument is not valid.

Our starting rb has sat out 2 games now. And ruben was done at the half, Injuries to oline mean we are not as deep as we were at beginning of season.

We have used 3 qbs.
