No bleep. Except LSU created the turnovers. Let’s say that the Lsu WR drops did not happen. We get three or four more First downs and 50or 60 more yards. LSU dominated Miami

Joel Klatt also works for fox who have rights to the big 12 and pac 12 so he’s gonna be a biased POS

There's no denying that LSU can play A LOT BETTER. From Burreau to the DB's to the Oline to the WR's. They didn't have GREAT games.

If LSU puts it all together and plays as good as they are capable of, they will be a dangerous team.

Well, I'd ask Mr. Klatt how many points are added to the scoreboard for a turnover?

None you say? So is that not an indicator of productivity to turn them into points?

Rhetorical. Obviously it is.

We would get credit if all those drops by DBs last year were INTs and our K put it through the uprights more often. But we didn't hold on to them, so there were no FGs to miss. But if we did... it's a whole different year.

Well, it was different [so far] this year. So improving on that makes us less dominant? Nope.

I agree.

6th most talented roster last year. it only got more talented this offseason.

the injury to Chaisson obviously bothers me, but I still think 10 wins is very doable this season.

Let's say Miami has the penalties and turnovers and LSU is 10 of 16 on 3rd downs.

Then we win by 40. Such a dumb statement. LSU thoroughly dominated that game any way you slice it. They shut down the offense early in the 3rd quarter.

What does Big 12/PAC 12 bias have to do with an SEC/ACC matchup?

Or maybe he just did a lazy analysis of the game? Not everything is some kind of looney tunes conspiracy.

Let's say we leave our 1st team defense in and it's 33-3, maybe 40-3. Duplicating the Peach Bowl score.

Yeah maybe it was not a dominant in the eyes of Joel Klatt. Maybe he thinks it was an “ugly win” well I’ll take an “ugly win” over a “pretty loss” anyway.
