LSU is self destructing with penalties and sloppy play. That bothers me more than any opponent.

What did everyone see that makes them say that Syracuse is pretty good. Had LSU not had so many drive killing penalties the score would have been in the upper 50's at least.

And the Syracuse QB would make a nice throw but follow it up with balls in the dirt repeatedly. Penalties hurt on defense as well.

Lets not even talk about the crappy special teams play. ugh!

LSU is so good that they can play bad and still win against mediocre talent.



Sorry but Syracuse is going to struggle this year. Their run defense is their only decent thing they have going.

They are a "pretty good" team. They fought hard, never gave up, made some plays, hung in there, took advantage of opportunities, all qualities of a "pretty good" team. Keep in mind that "pretty good" is below good, really good, damn good, etc.

Pretty good is not below good but is below really good and damn good. Syracuse is not pretty good. Decent is the word that describes them best.

hmmmm.... We need a poll for this! In my book pretty good is better than good. "Yeah that team is pretty good!"

AGREED. They were clearly overmatched talent and depth wise and played A hard fought game... I give them credit for trying to make it a game when they could have folded..........

I will say this... LSU better play ALOT better against SC if they plan to come out with a win. SC is a BIG step up from both Cuse and E.Mich.....

Syracuse came to play ball today! They played all out. Im not sure what this says about the type of year they will have this year in the ACC.

I wasn't sure before this game, but yes, I agree, they are.

our friggin' penalties and dropped passes.


Yes, that's been a problem in both of our close games this year. Hopefully, we get that cleaned up over the next few weeks.

The last two SEC teams that went there were Florida in 1991 and Tennessee in 1998. Florida got spanked and Tennessee barely escaped with a last-minute one-point win, benefiting from a questionable pass interference penalty on 4th down that kept their game-winning drive alive. That 1991 Florida team won the SEC title; the 1998 Tennessee team went undefeated and won the national championship.

SU fan here. Really enjoyed your fans and the game. Take it for what it's worth. Really enjoyed Fournette as well. It's a pleasure to watch great players. Looking forward to 2017. You guys are ok in my book. Beat Alabama!!

They were tonite.They were one step ahead of us all nite except for a few big plays. They can flat out tackle.solid well coached ball club out there tonite. They exposed weaknesses that I didn't realize we had tonite. We've got slot of work to do . We were out coached again tonite 2/3 this year which is very rare.
All this crap about what record these teams will have is hyperbole. Who knows how this yr will turn out. look at last year. U could've made money taking Ohio St about this time last year. LSU will be a better team and so will Syracuse for the contest. this whining about the refs, penalties home dome , LSU was flat -- cry baby excuses galore.
How about a young qb who looked like all of 12. Who was lost in the first half showing tremendous courage and gave it to our secondary in the 2nd half. If u can't appreciate that and their schemes and attitude in general then stay lost. How about if he played the first half like the 2nd half, if not for a batted ball interception or a punt return or even 1 LSU turnover.....
Their coach and their QB had them in the game and kept them in the game.
A tip of the hat to Syracuse from this LSU fan.
