re: LSU played hard and looked dominate at times.

In the English language, the word "dominate" indicates something that has a commanding influence on or exercises control over someone/something. It is something you "do" unto others. You dominate them.

I think you are wanting to say "dominant" in your heading, because that indicates that last night at times, LSU was most important, powerful, or influential force on the field. Example: in its place, the Rock of Gibraltar is a dominant feature of the geological landscape. It is something you are - like, "LSU was the dominant statistical team last night."

Not picking on you. I just notice a lot of us tend to mix those two words up in posting.
