re: The decision to rush to the line after the Chase catch was great coaching.

It really blows my mind how many people on here hate orgeron so much that they won’t give the man credit for anything. I didn’t think he was the best hire but damn give the man credit for the things he did well.

How about calling all 3 timeouts in the first quarter...was that great coaching as well?

Yes!

At that time, it was a field position battle and giving up 5 yards because the offense was a bit out of sync (on 2 of them) and then being certain your defense is set properly after a bunch of starters were out IS great use of those timeouts.


JEEBUS...proper use of timeout doesn't change by the clock. It is by the circumstance.

No, it would’ve been ruled a touchdown, but it was the correct call, you go with the info you have, and obviously someone thought it wasn’t caught.

Give the coaches credit. We could have been looking at this while the play was called back.

No, it wasn’t.

I was just typing the same thing. No way Les has the presence of mind to get that done. Heck he used to have an assistant follow him around the whole game telling him how many timeouts we had left. O is a big improvement over Les. People are very critical of O but we won against a team ranked in the top ten by people who do nothing but analyze college football all day 365 days a year. That's a big deal and I have a hard time understanding why some people wont let the team and coaches get credit for that.


The catch could have been bobbled on the way to the ground and it could have been reversed. I didn't see it initially on tv and was focused on the foot hitting the pylon but someone on the LSU side saw the bobble and decided to line up quick with a first down at the one. I respect others opinion but there is no way you can deny that that was a great on the field, in game coaching decision. Congrats to the staff.

Yes, it actually was. A lot of coaches would have lived with the penalty to save the timeouts and that probably would have killed drives. It was a good decision to get the team and Joe calmed down and fix the mistakes early. Look at how few penalties we had after those timeouts. Try telling me we wouldn't have had more if we just let the kids fail on the field instead of using the timeouts to make sure they executed properly.

I'll tell you what else was great coaching. Going for it on those 4th downs. I was feeling it too just like Ed. He learned from the Notre Dame game, and said F that we're LSU and we can push your shite in to convert 4th and 1.

Because OP is wrong

The refs in the FSU game had over a minute to review it and simply didnt

surely you're not that dense.

Preseason polls are an absolute farce. And the voters in those polls often know very few details about each team, other than the obvious "returning starters" etc.

Good win for us, but I'll bet my house that Miami is nowhere near the top 10 by year end. Going back to last year, they're now riding a 4-game losing streak.

We'll find out what we're made of in 2 weeks at Jordan Hare.
