Tepper made Quincy Carter a lot of money that night. Carter stated “we just took what they were giving us“. When asked what LSU was giving, his reply was “everything!“

We had a linebacker covering Champ Bailey. Later in the game Bailey made an incredible catch.

We had a very talented and good offense that year but the defense was just God awful.

We could’ve won the Florida game and had the opportunity for a pick six right before the half but the ball was dropped. The Alabama game was the most disheartening a ball because the game was well in hand and Bama somehow snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in part due to Abram booty missing a shirt touchdown pass by having it stripped from him and to ball for touchdowns We could’ve won the Florida game and have the opportunity for a pick six right before the half but the ball was dropped. The Alabama game was the most disheartening a ball because the game was well in hand and Bama somehow snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in part due to Abram booty missing a sure touchdown pass by having it stripped from him and two tipped ball for touchdowns for Bama.
