re: What particular moment for you did you believe this team could be special?

Three moments did it for me.

1) When we came out spread in the Georgia Southern game I thought we could put up 30-40 points per game and have 200-250 passing ypg. That was all I wanted/hoped for at the time.

2) When “the best defense in the country” part 1 (Florida), couldn’t stop us I knew the offense was special. I also knew our defense was elite but not playing like it because they just didn’t need to, so I don’t put much stock in their issues in the early season or in small games.

3) When we were up on Bama (with Tua) by 20 at half I knew this team was about to make history. Without their trick play and a blown cover 3 zone where Stingley appeared to get burned, we win that game by 21+. And that’s with us playing relaxed in the third quarter.

I would’ve cried from laughing if someone told me this would be our offense this year. Still two games left, but this may be the greatest LSU team ever (‘11 seemed better because they peaked mid season, but I think we are peaking now).
