1. Offsides and Procedure Penalties

Werent we one of the most penalized teams in our 2003 NC?

2. Toughness (Short yardage failures in the past 2 years)

Saw more defensive stands this year than I can ever remember.

4. Dropped balls

Right, we never had receivers drop balls prior to this year. And, PS, do you even make this with out the TT experiences with wet, heavy balls and muddy hands?

It starts at the top, anyone who says otherwise has never worked for a successful organization in a challenging environment.

So do these sucessful organizations paint the argument to fit their position as well?

The difference between how LSU games are played now is huge....

Momentum killing issues occur in every game, and time of possession is at least 5 minutes lower on average than previous years.

On the toughness/short yardage, I was speaking on the offensive side of the ball where we were unable to get 1 yard or less on multiple occasions this year. I thought the defense played well considering the number of three and outs and the time they were on the field, especially in the first half of each game.

Chalk it up to human nature. When you win two NC's in a 5 year span, fans tend to get upset and negative as a result if you don't compete for a NC. That's just the nature of the beast.Always has been and always will be, unfortunately. Just ask "Smoke."
