Florida game is an away game not home
quote:

30 points a game is not some mythical number. A&M, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee all managed 30 ppg or more in SEC play. LSU managed 22.5 and that number is greatly inflated by the last few games of the season against teams who are in the bottom half of scoring defense in the SEC.

Yes, the offense improved as the year went on, and I hope the trend continues. But you can't lay all of the blame for a loss on your defense when the offense only puts up 17 points with 435 yards. We had red zone problems all year that meant that the defense was constantly on the hook to play lights out. I'm not surprised that they were burnt out by the end of the season, after bailing out the offense time and time again.

Look, LSU was averaging 22 PPG in SEC play. That is not enough to win every game. It just isn't. No defense is good enough to win every game when your offense is playing that badly. If your defense keeps the #1 team in the country to 21 points (I don't care how many seconds it took them to score them) then they have done a good enough job that your offense needs to be able to seal the deal. They didn't though, they put the defense in yet another must-win situation, and the defense got beat.

Maybe this had something to do with the PPG
SEC Team Record of 8 SEC foes
Auburn 40-24
Missouri 39-25
Tennessee 38-26
Ole Miss 37-27
LSU 35-29
Kentucky 34-30
Florida 33-31
Texas A&M 31-33
South Carolina 30-34
Vanderbilt 26-38
Mississippi State 25-39
Alabama 24-40
Georgia 24-40
How fundamentally sound was Alabama vs WKU?
103 rushing
4-10 3rd Down Conversions
McCarron sacked 6 times
He only had 329 total yards vs Oregon. I guess that's what you call containing.

The fact is that Les' general strategy going into most SEC games is to shorten the game to the last two drives and hope we can out athlete the other team down the stretch. But, history bears out that when we attack the other team from the first quarter on, we generally dominate: VT, TA&M, GT, are some good examples among others.


This is Nick Saban's strategy not Les Miles

Did anybody notice with 44 seconds left in the game we were going for 2 and to run off some time. The clock NEVER started. I counted 5 seconds. That gave Ole Miss an extra Hail Mary. Pathetic.

The clock does not run on extra point plays.

In other news, Sagarin STILL has the Pac10 ranked ahead of the SEC as a conference: LINK.
Pac10 has 4 teams with a winning record vs SEC with 8 teams with a winning record. How is the Pac10 ahead of the SEC??

Dude - they hung 83 points on a conference opponent. We struggled to score 51 on a directional school. How does it not makes sense to you?


Dude - Wisconsin has only played three teams with a winning record and won two of those games. LSU has played 7 teams with a winning record and won 6 of them.

The point was Baylor is a better team this year than they have been in the past, so you can't simply dismiss them because they're "Baylor." Yes, LSU has played tougher opponents over all, I'm not arguing that point.


Baylor has only beat one team with a winning record. That was Kansas St. 47-42. Baylor does not look that tough.

His team's talent is what is getting by, and LSU most certainly is a very talented team. Its just Miles has almost cost them 3 games this year. Its ridiculous. He's just lucky he has a good team, not that he's a smart coach.


Biggest past of being a Good college coach is recruiting. You will not win consistently with out good recruiting.

Dont apologize to T-Boob unless you are the UNC Defensive Tackle that made T-Bob his B-yotch the entire game. Ridley's fumble near the end of the game was a result of T-Bob getting man handled and bad ball control!
If this is want you call being man handled. Why was Ridley 3 yard up field before being hit.
