On a scale of 1 to 10, how scared are you (1 being "I know FSU will win", and 10 being "I'm so scared I'm going to make a post on Tigerdroppings flexing over a 1-point FSU win last year")?

On both LSU misses, FSU made great plays and BLOCKED them. These are plays that FSU special teams works on in the off season. Does this not count?

Those are also really big momentum swinging plays. The fact is FSU had all momentum until the last couple minutes of that game.

I was in their section in the dome and you could hear a pin drop when Jayden drove us down 95 yards in that final minute.

It took them quite awhile to figure out how to gel together

I was told "LSU took off the first half" implying they didn't try in the first half of the game. That's not the same as "coming out flat."

the entire roster was overturned

I'm fully aware of this.

Should have gone for two. Kelly has been awesome, but that call was bad, considering the special teams issues we had that day.

Jayden could have easily ran it in.

And again, zero points.

To say the two muffs were the difference in the game is just blaming something that appears convenient, but it's not the reality of why LSU lost.


LSU lost two possessions in a game that was decided by one point. If you don't think that's impactful, spend your Saturdays doing something other than watching college football because you do not know what you're watching.

Last year's game will have no impact on Sunday's game. You and others on this board are wasting time trying to draw conclusions.

Yet FSU is preseason ranked below LSU. And the betting lines have FSU as the underdog.

I don't argue that we were the better team.

IF we had won, it would have been "Grand Theft Football."

The Noles will be a tough out, but the development during the season (except for special teams, which continued to suck) gives me confidence.

GEAUX TIGERS!!

I don’t know about any excuses, to me fsu looked like the better team that night and really lsu was lucky to be in it late in the game. This is a different year though, different teams, and hopefully a different outcome.

With 9 minutes left to go in the game, FSU had out-gained LSU 365-174. That is not a typo. LSU was steamrolled

The homers with no ability to be objective will not like this, but it is telling. LSU was indeed steamrolled most of that night.

But again, FSU was only able to eat up 3 total minutes. LSU did not lose opportunities. One of those muffed punts resulted in a loss of 55 seconds and no FSU points.

Pump Lumps, MA's and MAAM's have a litany of excuses for the entire season.

With every loss, these clowns spew out the standardized excuse making BS.....
