Croom's decision before the half....

That's just a taste of why most State fans are sick of him. He's the Anti-Les Miles.

Yep, totally agree. Why these coaches don't treat the last minute of the half the same as the end of the game floors me. Being "conservative" or "safe" is one thing, but the man was losing and gave up offensive plays and time on the clock. He even had timeouts left! Guess he'll add them to his collection.

I did not understand his decision either.

I said that right then. LSU gets ball first of second half. you have not really stopped them, you need to score again before half..... if you want to win. I thought he should have gone fot it...glad he didnt

We appreciated him running the clock out.

I'm very disappointed in Croom, I thought he would do well this yr, but what he did at the end of the half lastnight, he should be fired.
all the momentum and he sits on it, with NOTHING TO LOSE, I'd be pissed if I was a state fan

This is why Crooms coaches MSU and why Miles LSU. Great programs attract great coaches.

Croom is too old school Alabama, and the game is passing him by. He won't be a head coach in the SEC in 3 years.

Wake up Cowbell!!! The Moo State nation thought Croom ruled the earth after the winning season and bowl win last year. Didn't have much talent on that team, nor does he this year. He has cleaned up the Moo State program and will get things turned around in StarkPatch.

Yep, if his QB would have thrown an interception just before halftime, he would have been a hero just like Miles!

Croom is a good coach. Maybe not a great one, but a good one who consistently fields a decently competitive SEC team.
Until MSU fundraising performs better they don't really deserve more. On the other hand, #30 or so in the land would give Southern boosters orgasms just thinking about it.

I thought it was smart. A turnover could have led to more points for LSU.

He did the exact same thing against UT at home last season. We had the ball at our 25 and over a minute left on the clock. We sat on the ball and UT took their timeouts, got the ball back and kicked a FG to end the half, taking a 17-14 lead. It's very bad clock management.

He knows his team better than we do. He did not want to wear out his team with less depth than LSU had. He did not want a mistake right before the half giving LSU a chance to score some spirit breaking points right before the half. He saw little chance of the team he was coaching making points with so little time.
