re: Watching our 2006 season over again

Yeah. I'm a little rusty on my 2006 vs. 2007 arguments. It was Flynn who always produced 28 ppg in starts (including the Peach Bowl from a previous season), not the 2007 LSU offense itself.
And the offense wasn't too bad against Alabama & Arkansas. Just not as good as you would expect.
I include the Tennessee game because of the 4 turnovers, including the pick-6 that put the Tigers down 17-7 on the road in the 3Q. But that 2nd half against the Vols was the beginning of JR's miracle 4.5-game finish to his college career. Even so, the O was prone to fits and starts and trouble scoring, whereas the '07 team only had the Kentucky game on the road (where all 3 main players were either inactive or hobbled) or the 1st halfs against Tulane or Arkansas to bitch about.

Alabama and Arkansas were good teams that year. You can't play in the SEC and not expect to have those kind of games no matter how good your QB is.
You could look back at every team in the SEC who has one in the last 7 years and point out a game where they struggled. It's not bad offense, it's just what happens when you play quality opponents week in and week out.
Eta: By the way, I loved the 2006 LSU team and there is no way they should have lost two games.
