I watched the whole thing, and it's interesting what you notice with the benefit of hindsight. Here's what I got out of it:

1.) RP really didn't look as good as I seemed to remember. A lot was made about how he won that game, but the credit should go to the defense.

2.) I can see where some of the prognosticators are saying that Tennessee has a shot to win the East. They did it last year, and I had forgotten how many Freshmen they had on last year's squad. I still think that it will be Florida, but Tennessee should be good this year.

3.) I hope one of the punters can at least approach the level of Fisher. That guy was phenomenal!

4.) If LSU can cut down on the penalties this year, they will be EXTREMELY hard to beat. The SECCG game would not have been anywhere near as close as it was if not for dumb penalties and turnovers.

5.) This may have been my imagination, but it seems that Crowton really scaled back the offensive play calling with RP in the game. It was very vanilla compared to a number of other games, including the NC game.

No, we won't. If we could have had the player that he could have been, then we would certainly have been better off with him.

Unfortunately, we never saw that player. We just saw a few flashes of what he could be on the field, and months worth of the bullshite that he was involved in off of the field. He was a cancer and a distraction, and I'm glad that he's gone.

I really do hope that he plays up to his potential at his new school. It's always sad to see people with ability choose to piss it away.

When Holliday fumbled, he almost got it back from the way the ball was bouncing forward. How awesome would that play have been? There was nothing but green in front of him if that ball lands in his arms while moving forward!

I am an idiot for overlooking a single snap, a 4 yard rush?

FWIW, I don't think youre an idiot.
