re: 2006 Florida homecoming game was LSU

2011 team was easily more talented than 2006.

I'd say 2006's offense gives that team the overall edge against 2011. 2011's defense vs 2006's offense is a wash, but it's hard to argue that 2011's offense would compare with 2006's defense, which was still very solid. The 2011 team put lots of points on the board, but a lot of that was due to the defense putting them in excellent field position.

Anyways, that 2006 Florida game is definitely in the top 3 most frustrating games to watch. I don't think I've ever seen a college team make so many critical errors in one game. IIRC, LSU's miscues included:

-Fumbling at UF's 1-yard line
-Fumbling a kickoff return
-Fumbling a punt return
-Allowing UF to block a punt

I'm sure I'm missing a couple more...

The incredible thing is - considering UF was the eventual national champion - that they still only lost that game by 13 points. Had the situations been reversed, and it was UF making all those costly mistakes, LSU would've won in a 42-14 blowout.
