Florida is deserving of a top ~15 ranking and Muschamp was way over-rated as a coach. Florida has a good coach.

Les needs to work harder at fixing the special teams issues. We gave up 14 and took back 4 on a trick play. He said that our D was holding UF so he decided to go for the fake. If he felt that way, the game was tied and he probably should have taken 3.

We can't give up 14 points and expect to beat Top 10 teams. We did last night but I'd give more credit to BH for doing exactly what we need him to do. 68% and 200/yds puts us in position to win against anyone.

This team can be really special when you consider that our issues are fixable...Special Teams "coverage" and consistent Pass Defense. Think about UF if they had Guice on that team. They don't have a + rushing threat and have to scheme around it. We don't have that problem at any position. BH proved that last night.

When I think about the teams that could win 2 games for a National Championship, I'd put LSU in that group. I won't name the teams but all of them have defense, size & strength on the lines , rushing offense, QB, and WR's...in that order.

This is exactly what I'm thinking...

"The Tigers came into the game last in the SEC by a long shot in both pass attempts and yardage, a source of frustration for fans who wanted to see five-star talents like Harris and Dupre unleashed enough to take some of the defensive focus off Fournette. This game revealed a new versatility to what had been an All Leonard All The Time offense."

I like our potential...

Special teams has to be fixed and now. Punt out of bounds if you must, but we cannot afford that any longer, especially down the end stretch LSU is about to embark upon.

DB's and special teams will cost us a game or two. Everything else was stellar. Harris is becoming the passer we hoped he would

It's called doing what you need to do to win. Overcoming mistakes as a team.

Bama jumped out to a 28-6 lead to only have it close up to 28-20. The big play for A&M closing the gap was a 70 yd punt return for a TD.

This team can be really special


I am thinking 6-0, 4-0, and #5 in the nation IS special.

Texas A&M is better team than Florida IMO. LSU was playing Florida's back-up QB.

Its halfway through the season. If the season is over, then sure, call it "special". They haven't even played their most difficult games yet. Great so far, but its not over. Dont be that guy who celebrates while the ball is still in the air, and you could pick it off, but no, you're celebrating already.

That's a joke, right? Fournette would've had 300 at HALFTIME against TAMU yesterday. If TAMU plays defense like they did yesterday, we'll hold the ball 40 minutes to 20 minutes and beat them by 21+. Neal will eat them up too.

I have nothing groundbreaking that hasn't been said. DBs need work, but I think that's correctable. Special teams is the glaring weakness.

Outside of that, we are solid and have looked like one of the best teams in the country to this point. What's better, we are improving and playing more complete games every week. I think the best is yet to come

If he couldn't scramble so well and run so fast, we would've had 10+ sacks
