Just watched some of 2011 LSU Oregon game

Turnovers won that game. The offense was atrocious, I formation toss dives and the occasional long throw to a receiver double covered.

You wasn’t saying that with Mett QB. The issue was Lee was not very good.
If you have a good run game and can use play action, you can win a shite load of games if your QB is decent to good.

No disrespect OP, but watching that D was not boring. The greatest CFB D in this era.

And Honey Badger was simply magical. He gives me football smiles every time.

Lee was really good that year. He should have never been pulled as a starter. Should have used Jefferson as the change of pace guy the rest of the season, and if he needed to finish a game like he did against Bama, so be it. I’m so glad 2019 came along because that 2011 team was the best that never was. I rank that team up there with the greatest teams ever but that black eye in the ship took all that away.

First game as a student


Was LIT

Best and most memorable thing from that game, and foretold the remainder of the year, that defense was something special. As good as Bamas was that year, our guys manned up against everyone in the way, including playing as hard as they could the 2nd Bama game to keep us in distance. Mingo was a flash in that Oregon game. We set the tone for that year in that game

Miles and the team prepped most of the offseason for the speed of that game. That preparation built the speed that the Tiger's D showed all season. Oregon thought they could outrun anybody, then they got introduced to SEC football.

Amazing how boring game was pre Burrow even with Mathieu.

I can tell you from being at the game it was fricking great. Oregon fans were talking some serious shite before the game and it was like Thanos snapped his fingers and made them all disappear afterwards. You couldn’t find 2 O fans together post beat down. Was an all time great road trip.

If you think an absolute beat down of a top 5 team in a nationally televised showcase game is boring, you probably should find something else to follow other than football.

I made the trip for this one and it was not boring at all. As someone else mentioned, the Oregon fans were very confident going in. That didn’t last long. And the very large LSU contingent in town let them hear about it.

I'm just getting around to watching this. 29 yard completion to Peterson with 5 mins to go in the 3rd quarter was the longest play of the game up to that point.
