re: 1989 Football revisited

total disaster. Special teams, if the defense played well the offense was awful. If the offense played well the defense was awful.

A&M ran the opening kickoff of the season back for a TD.There was a series of plays in the last minute of the first half vs Tennessee that was a microcosm of the whole season.

Tied 14-14 we are at the Vol 3 or 4. On 2nd and then 3rd down Hodson hit a TE on both plays right in the hands for what should have been wide open TDs. Dropped both. Kick a FG to go up 17-14 with about :08 left in the half. Carl Pickens returned the kickoff 90+ yards for a TD as the half expired for Tennessee to go up 21-17.

They then went up 45-24 before we made a nice comeback to lose 45-39. Alabama beat us much,much worse than the final score. But other than that game LSU either led in the 4th quarter or had possession in the 4th where a score would have put us ahead.
