re: Hester just siad that the offense was not flat

Well that is the whole game, look at the first quarter you moron

345 yards and 3 touchdowns isn't flat.
425 total yards and 4 total touchdowns isn't flat.

I don't know if the pure yardage numbers tell the whole story here. Plus, one of LSU's TDs was scored by the defense.

In the first half LSU had 7 possessions. Only ONE had more than 5 plays. The TD drive that culminated with the Brennan Hail Mary from the 11 yard line.5 of the 7 ended with a punt.

LSU was much better to start the 2nd half. They had scoring drives of 15 and 5 plays. They were also on the move again until the INT where Brennan's arm was apparently hit. If not, that might have been a TD to McMath.

After that, the defense intercepted Costello. LSU immediately turned that into a TD on a great catch by Marshall. Unfortunately, the offense fell apart once more despite the defense giving them a chance to take the lead. Up only 3, MSU fumbled at their own 25. LSU was in prime position to take the lead. They abruptly ran 3 plays for 1 yard and settled for a game tying FG.

Following that, the defense was somehow able to hold MSU to 3. With just over 7 minutes to go, LSU had the ball, down 3. They abruptly went 3 and out and never threatened again.

Point being, LSU showed flashes of life here and there, but they weren't consistently "good". The two MSU turnovers in their own territory frankly kept LSU alive. Otherwise, it was setting up to be a big time arse kicking.

On 46 throws

15 possession

15 possession

That’s less than 30 yards of offense per possession

That’s flat.
