Agreed, but I did expect more with the hype, just as you probably did about Armanti.
The one thing I took away from watching your defense, is that it is team defense. Your DBs were so athletic that they locked down our WRs all day, giving you an extra guy to stunt every play. He usually came in a A gap, taking away the QB draw and any inside zone run play. Our guys picked it up pretty well on passing downs, but really had no answer running the ball. Your DL was too big and too strong to for us to really get any sort of push, especially while worrying about the "numbers" coming at 'em.

Sorry. Didn't mean it to sound like I was a poor sport. Just responding to a comment.
As for the experience? Great time. LSU fans were great to tailgate with, truly a class act. We drove through the night to get there and got no sleep before the game, so we spent the night, leaving to head back at 3:30am on Sunday morning. We knew full well that we would get caught in the evacuation, but that was safer than driving on no sleep. While the drive was long (17 hours back to Charlotte), we were continually amazed at how orderly and friendly every one was and how well orchestrated the contra-flow and evacuation procedures were.
Hats off the the people of Louisiana for showing us a great time with the approaching, potentially life altering storm in the back of your minds. Here we were sitting in the contra-flow, trying to get home. The people in line with us were sitting there wondering if they could ever go home. It really put things in perspective. As we stopped at rest areas and McDonalds, along the way, we received the same kind treatment we received at the stadium.
Again, hats off to the people of Louisiana and your football team.

Check his numbers. No tackles. No Sacks. 1 pass break-up. Far from being individually dominant.

Question for the SlapAppies...Do you really believe lighting will strike twice???
"Will", no. "Can", yes. We'll see Saturday.
I'll make sure the OL sees this poem. We all know what "should" happen; and we all know what "can" happen. I can't wait. Thanks for the motivation.

And a TE is not a lineman. An offensive lineman is an offensive lineman, period.
Not in my book. The first job of a TE is to block, catch passes second. ASU often uses an OLineman as a TE simply for blocking. Part of that approach is because of 1-AA depth issues, part of it is because it's good business.

It was 97 degrees in Ann Arbor that day. Not humid like the swamp, but very hot. Just FYI.

So, I guess you haven't thought of the possibility of loosing to the Mountaineers too, have you?
I'd like to be a fly on the wall if that happens... Funny story though.

We're confused about how your guys are going to block the best D-line in the country.
I think you will find that our OL is quicker than what you are used to. Smaller? Yes, but with our speed, zone blocking, and the deception with the read option, I think we can find some running lanes.
Our QB will make your LBs play honest D. If they don't our OGs will have a good time at the second level.
Will our guys push your guys around all night? Probably not, but then, a stalemate is a win for an Olineman.

I have yet to hear you or any ASU fans explain how their O-line will keep the LSU D-line under control...out of the ASU backfield...in Tiger Stadium...at night.
Hmmm... our guys usually do that by blocking. What are you confused about?

Quick decision making? That's what the read option is all about. Go ahead an give us numbers every play. See how that works.

And to comment on the quote above: just to name a few, Steve McNair, Jerry Rice, Walter Payton. Don't tell me that Appy's QB is overrated just because he plays I-AA ball. If you do, that is what falls into one of those rediculous comment categories.
Tony Romo, Terrel Owens...

Yes, he was at LSU, but he was ours first. He's a good one.
