I believe we win that game easily. We were driving and then he drops a catchable ball and we settle for a field goal

Give the defender some credit for stripping the catch. Ball was underthrown and gave the defender opportunity to break it up. Boutte actually had it in his hands before the defender knocked it out

It was a tough, contested catch. However, if we don’t have a terrible snap the next play…

I believe the FSU guy punched the ball out of Kayshon's hands when Kayshon hit the ground.

You could point to any number of mistakes...

I think the odds makers had it right. If we are slightly less sloppy, we take that W close. LSU was clearly better as the game wore on. Perhaps the tone of the fan base would be more forgiving had we pulled it off.

LSU fans had to accept where this program truly is, and the work its going to take to get back to being competitive for the SEC West crown. Its worse than many people want to admit.

I keep saying had we simply scored more points than FSU, we would’ve won. But what the hell do I know…

That catch changes the game completely. Boutte and Daniels have a ton of confidence early on and the dome is rocking. So many what ifs that game

A bad snap and a false start are what stopped our two drives down to the goal line. We are not a bad team. We just have a lot of growing and learning to do. I believe this will be a good team this year. Literally everything we did wrong in the game is fixable

It was a good play by the defender.

The fumbled snap on that same drive is the bigger issue.

If he catches the dart zipped to him in the EZ, we also win.

He wants to earn the big bucks, he's gotta catch those.

If Daniels had thrown the ball on time and on target, it would have been a TD.
Boutte didn't earn his reputation by dropping passes.

yeah but at the same time...its not going to be one of those what if games for us, its going to be the first of a few losses so ultimately won't be one that kept us from winning anything of note.

There are a handful of things that would have changed that game. Not constantly shooting ourselves in teh foot would have helped.

The right side of the offensive line being a turnstile will be tough to fix this year. Otherwise, I agree.

He simply mistimed his jumped by a second, giving the defender extra reaction time. He hung in the air forever with his arms up. The defender just did his job at that point.
