A illegal blocked punt and a blatant holding penalty contributed to that. Sellers is not a good qb by any means.

We all know South Carolina’s offense is awful. That’s why giving up 33 points is a major concern.


Exactly. They don’t want to hear it though.

It’s pretty obvious now that we are mediocre with the possibility to be a little above average. Don’t even mention playoffs right now.

Sorry to wreck the thread, but seriously, how does that pick six get overturned. I’m not a rules guy…


Wrecking the QB like that on an INT hasn’t been legal in a while.

They called it unnecessary roughness I think, but blindside block would have fit too.

yes, it is true thank God he went down otherwise LSU would’ve lost but we still managed to win. so get the frick over it. It’s like you almost want LSU to lose just so you can float over it.

You may not be aware, but there is football analysis that goes beyond the outcome of the play.

If a team is horrible on offense but hits a few explosive plays due to defensive busts - that tells you something.

South Carolina was horrible on a down-to-down basis, but hit some explosives.

Good for them. It still counts. But to assume those are repeatable for the whole game is probably an incorrect assumption.

I think Ashford is much more challenging


He was challenging to whoever was the 3rd string QB as first in line if Sellers goes down.

There’s a reason Sellers was the starter. It’s because he’s better.

We got a gift. It’s that simple.

This board is at full retard levels this morning.

1. Sellers got dinged up because we were hammering him.

2. Ashford is one of the best backup QBs in the conference & carved our asses up at Auburn in case some forgot.

3. A blindside block on a QB out of the play gets called every time.

1) I think we had figured Sellers out at that point. He did most of his passing damage in the 1st quarter, but we had started getting stops before he got hurt. And he can run, but we were really starting to get pressure on him and either sack him, hit him while he was throwing, or just making it harder on him in general.

2) WE hurt him and knocked him out of the game. He didn’t sprain his ankle running in the open field with nobody around him. We sacked him and hurt his ankle. Was part of it bad luck for him? Sure. Was most of it us making a play and hitting him and hurting him? Absolutely. So I think that’s more credit to us making a play than bad luck for them.

A lot of people have said we would have lost without Sellers going down. I disagree. I think we had figured him out, and the 2nd half was gonna be more pressures, sacks, and interceptions. I actually think we win more easily had he kept playing.

Yeah if Sellers would have been in, the other qb doesn’t run 70yds for a TD

Ashford was such a limiting factor for them.

You should not take everything Herbstreit says as gospel. He was objectively wrong like 6 times yesterday alone.

That is a dumb argument. You can’t say it said anything about our team that we hit a guy hard enough that he got injured.

It’d be like Bama saying that when JD went down, it’s a testament to how good they were. You’d be jumping down a Bama fan’s throat if they claimed that shite.

Obviously.

There were some shitty calls in the game on both sides, but the two pick 6 calls were correct.

The blind side hit on Nuss was more egregious than the earlier one they called on LSU.

And since it was on a QB, it’s going to get called every time.

I don’t think he made a difference honestly. Ashford is every bit as good as a runner and neither scare anyone as a passer. I don’t think it would have mattered all that much.

It’s really not a dumb argument when you have a sack fumble in the first half & end it on back to back sacks.

It wasn’t some freak accident & Sellers tried to play through it. We were putting the QB on his arse a lot.

He got hurt because he was getting hit on almost every drop back. LSU pressure was getting home. Sellers isn’t much better than Ashford. Outside of three plays they didn’t move the ball consistently at all. Like 3-12 on third down conversions in the first half with Sellers lol

What a crappy thing to say.

There’s no joy in beating the second string, and Sellers is a real person with real pain and real ambitions. If you can’t find joy in watching your favorite team without a win that comes from someone on the other team getting injured, then you need to re-evaluate.

What a crappy thing to say.

The point is I’m not sure it makes a difference in the outcome of the game. You are woulda, coulda, shoulda-ing for the other team.

This isn’t the same thing as, say, Dart going down at Ole Miss & replacing him with Walker Howard.

A bigger gift was #5 losing his marbles & forgetting all the rules of football in the 4th quarter.
