I've watched the game about (3) times since Saturday. We do have killer instinct.

The score could easily have been 14-0 instead of 6-0. We had excellent play-calling in the red zone. A few things:

(1) TCU defenders either got away with pass interference or just played very good defense on our bigger receivers in the end zone. In our first and goal opportunities, we threw the ball 4 times on those two drives. Twice there was the pass interference where the TCU defender wrapped his free arm around the LSU defender's body. On another pass, ZM threw the ball away because he wasn't open. And on another pass, Landry just dropped the ball.

Don't get me wrong, the refs were not terrible, but they did not call a flaw-less game either.

In Week 2 I would like to see the same game plan as Week 1. It will pay-off.

And if it means Les having to pull out the rules book and teach them the rules, like he had to right before the half, then so be it.

FREAKIN' THIS. I'm sick of folks saying "our red zone woes continue."

LSU was in the red zone 6 times Saturday: scored 3 FGs and 3 TDs. And, yes, the first two FG trips very easily could have been TDs if not for the TCU DBs being allowed to maul people (and our WRs not making the tough catch anyway).
