The AP poll does that every year. I mean come-on, Oregon St. didn't even play and moved up 3 spots!!!

If I am understanding your post, you said being dominated by Auburn, Bama, and Ole Miss outweighs the close game against Florida. I will give you Bama and Ole Miss, but Arkansas beat Auburn(44-23) and totally dominated that game.

Hey GOBAMA90, nice try with that pic. We're talking about this year's game not last year (Helm or Johnson aren't playing this yr.).

Bama rushes it 37 times and doesn't get 1 single freakin holding penalty.

The Jefferson spot on the 1st drive and the double standard on the PI calls were ridiculous.

Out of 25 first half plays vs UF. JJ threw it 8 times (6-8 56 yards 1 INT). JJ wasn't sacked and scrambled only once out of those 25 plays.

Where is the balance? Only a total of 9 passing plays out of 25 and 3 of them were on 3rd down and only 1 of those passes were thrown over 15 yards (26 yarder to LaFell).

How hard is it to call a defense against this type of offense? Put all players within 10 yards and you're going to stop it.

The deep ball isn't J.J. specialty but he's not that bad. How many deep balls did J.L. complete last year? His longest pass of the season was to Keiland in the flat that he took to the house.

Ole Miss - (1st pass) a 35 yard bomb down the sideline to LaFell in the air.

Arkansas game - deep pass off the fingertips of Byrd (pass interference call); completed 20-yard pass to Byrd across the middle; 20+-yd pass to Johnson who fell down (should have scored) 32-yard TD to LaFell.

GT game - long bomb to LaFell that was called back was a perfect throw.

Washington - longest pass through the air was 15 yards.

Vanderbilt - 1st incompletion to Lafell and overthrow to Mitchell (bad pass); Pass in the endzone to Toliver was decent (could have been caught if he didn't jump eariler); endzone pass to Peterson (covered by the CB).

Baylor's ace is Kendal Volz (projected to be a pretty high draft pick in the preseason)
6'6 RHP 3-6 4.54 .280 B/Avg

Baylor has one LHP who has started.
Aaron Miller 3-3 5.48 .258 B/Avg

I hope we can just jump on them early tomorrow whoever they pitch. :geauxtigers:

I got bored looking at the scores from other regional games so I went back and looked at the batting against LHP. I was only able to get the AB from todays starters (don't have Landry and others)

After today's game (from gametracker):

LeMahieu 35-96 .365
Schimpf 25-91 .274
Dean 25-91 .357
Gibbs 22-83 .265
Mahtook 20-62 .323
Ochinko 28-83 .337
Hanover 17-75 .227
Mitchell 20-77 .260
Nola 8-34 .235
Totals... 210-699 .300

The avg will probably go down pretty good when you include Landry's ABs but .300 could be better but isn't terrible. The one I'm surprised with his Hanover's avg. I know some of yall wanted to know Mitchell's and some others so I hope this helps.

Yea but at .174/.271 (SEC play). Even for a 9 hole hitter you need better production. I know Nola wasn't the only one going 0fer yesterday but we lost to Vandy because we couldn't score. I know he's just a freshman and I have no doubt about him improving but right now I think we need another hitter in the lineup and I just don't see it right now with Nola.

Yea, Helenihi only has 12 at bats when you include today. Nola has 46. I agree with you that we are in no way doomed with Nola playing ss. He battles at the plate and will get a timely hit like he did a msu. He's just too inconsistent imho. I guess I would just like to see Landry and Helenihi get some more ABs since they have come on strong as of late.
