No doubt. I think Burrow is going to be so so good by the end of the year. For only being on campus a couple of months... he was impressive.

I'm not going to play the "what if" game, but he has a point. We, as fans, look at the final score, but there is much LSU can improve on moving forward from this game. Our ST is a strength this year, this is looking like one of our better (not best) defenses in the last 10 years, but we still have questions on O-line, a run game that is adequate (reminds me of when Charles Scott was our leading rusher), and still rough execution in our passing game. The big takeaway I got from the game, though, is that the question marks on offense are fixable. Burrow seems to be a legitimate threat, and when he and the receivers improve their chemistry, this is going to be a fun team to follow.

This made a big difference and I LOL all night as offsides was in UM's head all game.

“Was not very impressed.”

“ I kind of agree. “

If anyone can’t be impressed with beating up on the eighth ranked team in the country 33 to 3 on a neutral field going into the fourth quarter and winning by 16, they will never be impressed.

Does it mean that LSU is a sure thing to be playing in the playoffs? No, but it’s a damn good statement for the team as is evidenced by the rapid climb in the polls?

We will know better what the Miami win means for that program after we play Auburn.

Hey Joel Kmart...member that one time when LSU played Miami and had 3 TDs, 4 field goals, 4 sacs and 2 INTs while giving up 2 garbage TDs in the 4th?

Yeah, me too...good times. Go dominate your pud ‘cause your writing and assessment skills betray you.

LSU had six offensive possessions in the first half. We scored 2 TDs and 2 FGs. We punted once and we took a knee to end the half. Our defense scored a TD as well.

We had 221 yards of offense in the first half. Now, that number isn't crazy, but when you consider short fields and a missed possession because of our Pick 6, it's not terrible.

In the second half, we only moved the ball a total of 115 yards. We had two FGs, 4 punts and a kneel down to end the game.

So it's fair to say that our conservative, no turnover, run out the clock approach accounts for a lot of the stats Klatt cites.

I don't think he actually hates the SEC. The SEC just isn't affiliated with the network that cuts his paychecks. Consider the source when you hear his opinion.

I don't know if he actually hates it or not, but even Matt Leinart occasionally ribs Klatt on-air for his takes on the SEC. When Leinart is calling you out, you might be doubling-down on stupid a bit too much.

Overall, I think Klatt does a good job though.

Comparing stats is ridiculous. Miami was playing catch-up most of the night, and we were taking the air out of the ball the entire second half.
