If i told you Florida would score 28 on us...

Win—I predicted 41-24

Florida's offense- particularly Trask- did much better than I expected. Kudos to them. But LSU still covered.

It's not that Florida had 28 it's how they get there that surprised me. I thought they'd get a few turn overs maybe a sack with a scoop and score, a busted coverage TD and a garbage time TD to make it 28.

I did NOT expect them to have 6, 8 plus play drives for 4 TD's and double the time of possession! I'm sorry fellas but that is UNSAT for the defense!

Win. I was borderline shocked, particularly after the first 2nd half drive when Florida took the 28-21 lead. At that point in time I thought UF would tack on 3 or 4 more TDs.

It was Joe Burrow's response to that Florida lead which completely changed the game. That took the air out of UF's sails as they went 3-and-out on their next two possessions.

And, we're not talking about the classic LSU teams, even under Miles, that had rock-ribbed defenses. You're talking bout a team which gave up 38 to VANDY!

Most on this website would say that Auburn has a much better defense than LSU. How much did Auburn allows vs Florida? They allowed 24. We allowed 28, they allowed 24. Cmon guys.

Queen bats down a 4th down pass and Delpit doesn’t drop a pick and they have 7 at half.

IF. It's always the big IF that separates the losers from the winners. I know LSU won the game but IMO the Defense lost more battles than they won.
The defense has to do a better job of making the plays when the opportunities are there. That's the difference between the 2011 Defense and a 2019 defense. The uber talented players are in position to make the plays but too many times they don't. (Period)

Really? That’s when I knew the game was over and we’d crank it up on them.
