Anyone know why Orgeron was so upset with Finley? Should have never done on the field.

Ummm, a horrible pick 6?

don't know much about football do ya

Uhm, he kind of just threw an interception over the middle for a touchdown. Where else do you think he should have been spoken to?

“Cotton Gloves?”

you've never played sports have you?? it shows

Our o-line sucks arse anyways. There's no salvaging it. Finley has real potential

He did the same thing vs Auburn and my guess is that he's done the same thing in practice. I would have liked to see the arse chewing on the sideline instead of out on the field, but I get why he was pissed.

Now bring that energy to our veteran Oline that has been doing that on every other play all season.

Somebody should chew your arse out for starting this thread

so when is the right time?

The LT should have been the one who O ripped on that play, not Finley

Yep.

Hindsight being 20/20 you could argue Finley should have just taken the sack. But go back and watch the play. Finley get the snap at his own 4 yard line. He immediately looks to his right. The RB (Emery) is covered. The WR on that side of the field is in his route and hasn't even begun to break out of it. The blitzer is coming. At that point Finley looks back to the middle of the field where Marshal is crossing and Gilbert is running a deeper drag ahead of him. Now, even though there is a blitz, Finley knows his LT should be there to handle it. It wasn't a situation where the defense overloaded to one side and the QB should have known the OL didn't have the numbers to pick it up. Finley tries to throw it over the top to Gilbert who had gotten behind the LB. Unfortunately, he is hit low and from behind in the process which takes all force out of the throw.

It is also noteworthy that Finley was hit at the one yard line. While it is easy for all of us watching the game to know he is standing outside of the endzone, it is a whole different animal when you are the one playing and trying to make a play under pressure AND have concern that simply taking a sack there could result in a safety. You can bet Finley knew he was close to the endzone before releasing the ball.

It was a confluence of bad circumstances. LSU was backed up near their own endzone. The initial read wasn't open and because the OL can't block, your young QB was immediately under pressure from a rusher he had every reason to believe was going to be picked up. His arm is strong enough that he can fit the ball in tight window (which he would have had to do to hit Gilbert), but he was hit at the same time he was trying to throw.

The frustration boiled over for Orgeron and he blew up (unnecessarily IMO) on his young QB. That was probably because for the first time all season the defense was playing pretty well while the offense couldn't take advantage. The defense that Ed "dreamed of" and one that had struggled all season.

I would hope that a review of the film and cooler heads would allow O to realize losing his shite on Finley for THAT play was probably unwarranted. Unfortunately, it was the spot where the pipe burst, so to speak, and the QB took all of the blame...even though it was FAR from all of his fault. That is the nature of the position
