LSU vs Florida 2006

I was binge watching Cityzen225 youtube videos lastnight and I came across this game. Might be one of the most frustrating games I remember watching along with Auburn in 06.
we had all the momentum up 7-0 and forced florida to punt and chevis jackson fumbles the punt return giving them an easy touchdown then next drive the game is 7-7 and we drive 75 yards and Jamarcus fumbles on the 1 yard line.
then comes in tebow and all of the blown coverages and poor tackling. just a frustrating game. I remember my dad muted the TV because of verne blowing Tebow. I think if Chevis doesnt fumble or if Jamarcus doesnt fumble then we are 2006 national champs

Or if Hester scores that touchdown they said he was down and it was clearly a td

We were two plays away in Gainesville and a PI in Auburn from going undefeated. Very frustrating season but so to speak the god’s rewarded us a year later.

2006 was 7-10 points better than 2007 but 07 we had a lot more luck on our hands

Saying we were two plays away in Gainesville in 2006 is specious at best. I was in the Swamp that day. Jamarcus' goal-line fumble was horrible and cost us a chance to go up 14-7. But Florida took that fumble and went 3 and out. Jamarcus then threw an interception on the next drive. That was all in the first quarter.
Florida then scores twice and we trail 16-7 at half time. If that team had championship mettle, we overcome a few first quarter bad breaks. But in reality, that Florida defense was outstanding and put handcuffs on us in the second half. Jamarcus throws two second half interceptions. We miss a field goal. So does Florida. We had 5 total turnovers. We lost 23-10. I don't remember feeling we ever had a great chance to win in the second half.

we didnt take advantage in the first half. the turnovers killed us. cbs day games at the swamp are always hard to win there

We were also two plays away from losing to Tenn and to Orgeron's 3-7 ole miss squad.

Florida’s defense was amazing that year but if LSU doesn’t make the two mistakes in the first half it’s a 17-17 game and anyone could have taken it.

Most frustrating game will always be 2011 Oklahoma State-Iowa State. Reasons why are as follows:
1. We didn’t play in it
2. Oklahoma State was favored by 28 and led 24-7 in the second half
3. Quinn Sharp’s kick looked like it was good, but it was called no good
4. Oklahoma State has a tipped interception in 2OT
5. It came the day after the women’s basketball coaches died in a plane crash
6. It led directly to 1/9
7. 2011 LSU would’ve gone down as the best team ever had they won the title

evenly match game I think. Florida was vulnerable though they did lose to auburn on the road. maybe if it was a home game in 2006 we would win

LSU should've won 3 straight titles from 05 -07. They were that good and nearly every game we lost in that three year span was some fluke garbage and it was just a dumb loss that shouldn't of happened. 11-2, 11-2, 12-2. If we don't get lucky in 07 in that last week with all the teams that dropped then the three most talented teams LSU ever had overall outside of 2011 possibly will have all gone home without a title. It's truly amazing to go back and watch just how good we really were from 05- 07. Haunting man.

2005 was a wild season
But really the 2006 team was great and would have definitely been in a playoff but realistically the Florida team was very good too. And so was that auburn team.

Would've been the greatest season in the history of college football. LSU beat two other BCS bowl winners. They got lucky with Bama missing so many kicks the first game, but that's football. Only Bama would've ever been voted back in and they were. If the role was reversed and LSU was the team who hadn't won their division let alone conference, we do not get the rematch. It's the single greatest F you that's ever happened in my opinion. No credit for the road victory in the game of the century. And then for voters to take the best season in Okie state history and basically say it doesn't amount to a second place division finish is so freaking messed around. I don't care who you are, it's not easy and is downright next to impossible to beat a nickel saban coached team twice in row especially in one year. We had no shot in that title game. And we were robbed of our place at the top of the mountain in terms of greatest team ever. And in the resulting fallout this program has simply never been able to recover from it. That title game is the stigma that was created here and it lingers on this much later on. It tarnished Les miles career and made him near unhirable, it stole our best season ever, and it made Bama the true dynasty that they've become today. The biggest screwjob to ever happen in the history of football.

arkansas 2006 wasnt bad either of a team

That was a frustrating game. LSU literally had an NFL offense that year, but it sputtered a lot. You can't blame the talent level. I remember a lot of fans were unhappy with Jimbo Fisher as OC that year. LSU smoked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl and Jimbo was off to FSU. Les hired Gary Crowton as his replacement.

5 turnovers
And still had a chance.

Great post about the Oklahoma State game. Very true - it was a fateful game.
Alabama pulled a similar stunt last year, i.e., lost to the best team they played, didn't win their own division, and backdoored their way into a playoff championship. I empathize with Georgia in that respect.

That was a tough one. I drove up from Miami for it, and the Tebow jump pass happened right in front of us. Never forget that.
The night game two years earlier in Gainesville was a blast.

Was just a bad game, I was there. Never been back.
