U r wrong, team was motivated but not focused that is the reason we made a ton of mistakes on 3rd downs, in scoring positions and at crunch time. They did not stay focused on individual assignments.

Yes. LSU was so unfocused that they came out on their first drive and marched 80 for a TD. The second drive they went 63 yards to the UF 7 when the UF D-lineman crashed though and tomahawked the ball out of Guice's hands just as he was about to make a jump cut. Lack of focus had NOTHING to do with that. It was just a bad split-second confluence of circumstances. Fumbles happen no matter how "focused" you are. That one just came at a huge moment.

Outside of one long TD and one drive where O refused to sub his D-line, Florida did nothing on offense. Hell, even after Jackson's fumble gave UF the ball on LSU's 20 up 13-10 with a chance to put the game away, the unfocused defense allowed UF to gain all of 4 yards and made them settle for a FG. LSU was 50% on 3rd down conversions

I'll blame O for having 4 plays inside the 7 had the end of the game and not having the guts to put the ball in the air at least once. Etling didn't have a bad game. He'd just completed a pass for 30 yards on a do-or-die 4th down.
