LAST WORD ON Francoisgate - and why I like Fowler

frick flutie

Fowler was spot on...unfortunately, he was spot on about everything, including the secondary.

However, I think we can shut them down, and I think the lack of turnovers forced and sacks made, by comparison to the pass attempts, is inflated because they've played three passing spread offenses in four games this season. Hell, North Texas inflated them big time, they threw something like 40 passes and a good 70+% of them were just dump offs to the flat routes, 5-yard curls, or slants. You can't sack a quarterback when he throws the ball inside of three seconds like they did -- and that's why LSU didn't. They got to Armanti Edwards -- hey, where did the App St. fans go, BTW? -- a few times, and got Chris Dodd and Tyson Lee a couple of times as well, but honestly, the teams they've played so far as a whole have abused the hell out of the short passes, and that's preventing the team from making defensive plays in the passing game.

Doesnt that "nasty" dline have 6 sacks through 5 games?

In 4 games, against 3 spread offenses who utilize quick passing schemes.

That "nasty" defense is also ranked 8th in the nation in rush defense if I'm not mistaken.

And the excuse about facing a spread option team is laughable. What do you think Florida runs?

he said spread offense, not spread option

There is no doubt that defensive players dream of such big hits. I'm sure the Auburn player that laid out Hatch is still talking about it. It's part of the game.

But how often do you hear these defensive players saying it to the media? Not many. And after the firestorm this week, hopefully RJF (and every LSU player) now understands why you don't say such things to the media. Do your talking on the field.

That's my last word...

I like how Flutie call BS on this one. RJF said exactly what the hell he meant to say. He wanted to "take him out". Not out of his gameplan. ok, emotions sometimes speak but dont think for a minute that UF's lineman are taking it as "nothing". May very well cost u the game. It wont help when the game starts but it sure as hell makes Florida's preperation more intense. Stupid comments that should never be made. I'd have more respect for RJF is he just said yea, I meant what I said. Now he sounds like he's reading something with your PR guy looking over his shoulder. I loved Miles less than respectful response last night too. Les reminds me of LSU fans-no class. You might not like Tebow or UF but Tebow is a class act all the way. ONce upon a time coaches would b---h slap somebody for making these comments. I guess that was back in the day though.

Bayside - I hate to inform you, but Coach Bear Bryant is Dead.

Its very amusing to see you lecture about making stupid statements, then follow it up with a stupid statement.

You would think you would troll your own boards but the great 17 - 14 conquerers of mighty Kentucky, have nothing better to do.
