When you're average starting field position is the 50, it's hard to have long drives. I'm all for criticism. the fourth quarter was an abortion. but complaining that we scored too quickly in the 2nd is just a complaint that has no traction with me. None.

We couldnt even drive it that far, i think our longest "drive" was 30 yards. No one is saying we scored to quickly and if they are that is idiotic. We had more possessions that the ones we had the big plays on. There were ample opportunities to move the ball in the first half and we didnt do it. All we are saying is that..we are not complaining about the big plays or saying we scored to quickly. Just that the big plays seem to have masked the problems we had moving the ball in the first half as well, which is understandable

Checking to see if my avatar is working.

I am dumb because we couldn't sustain drives? Look, LSU wasn't nearly as bad as people want to believe on Saturday, nor were we as good as people want to believe in our high points.

This team will improve this season as it goes along and be a pretty good team, but people are acting like we were amazing in the first half and did it against a top 25 team. Newsflash, while UNC's backups aren't chopped liver, they aren't a top 25 team without those starters that were missing.

That said, I think the coaching in the 4th quarter alone was pitiful especially the defensive coaching. Giving up the long TD was one thing, but to allow UNC to drive down the field twice without any resistance with dink and dunks was embarrassing.

People giving up on the season already are idiots, but getting too high just like getting too low from the ups and down of that game is ridiculous.

LSU's drives:
1) 3 and out, missed FG
2) 8 plays, 30 yards, TD! Great!
3) 3 and out 2 yards, Punt
4) 6 plays, 19 yards, Punt
5) 1 play, 50 yards, TD
6) 3 plays 17 yards, FUMBLE
7) 1 Play, 87 yard punt return TD
8) 1 Play, 51 yards, TD
9) 4 Plays, 18 yards, INT

That was LSU's first half. Out of 8 real drives, 2 lasted more than 4 plays! 2.

Scoring quick is great. Don't get me wrong, but we had half our drives be 4 plays or less with either a punt, fumble, or INT. A fifth was 6 plays (1 first down) and a punt.

LSU has to become more consistent. This was the Arky 2008 and UT 2005 games all over again.

Thanks!

One more time, if this avatar dosen't work i quit.

same problems happened in this game..thats not a good sign no matter how you try to spin it

spin it? Our main problems last year were that EVERY SINGLE play it seemed the clock was running down and jefferson was confused and we were burning to's and getting delays etc.....on top of that we were taking a lot of sackes. To say we were not much improved in both of the areas is..well...lying.

Improved in those areas? We still gave up a sack, another basic sack (the 20+ yard grounding call) and even worse a stupid INT because JJ just threw it up.

Clock management was not improved as seen at the end of the first half.

The playcalls getting in was though. You are correct.

Overall, the team showed some improvement, but some regression as well. It's one game, but coaching issues still seem to exist and OL is still a big ? despite some improved play.
