Didnt mean to hijack, but thanks for the comments!

To end the, who should LSU have played, I think CBS proposes the best method..

IMHO Team 'B' leaps off the page...

I dont live in Cobb but work here. If you saw him play live, it looked just like vs Arky. This part of the state has some high level HS football. We used to follow Etowah pretty close until we moved to the sticks this year. Not sure who we will go watch now, maybe my old HS but they suck at FB lol.

Live in GA and married to a Bama fan myself. We jab each other all year, watch the NFL draft together, watch all LSU games, most Bama games (blowouts we flip), and any other SEC game or OOC matchup we think we will be fun to watch. Im LSU all year long though. It started as a basketball fan watching Shaq, but I followed those 90s KY teams pretty close too. As Ive aged, I watch far less basketball and havent missed an LSU game in at least 6 years (minus the few i couldnt catch from my location, gonna miss tigervision though). I would say 8.5+ during the offseason and 11 during...

Jennings isnt a running QB...but he takes advantage if the defense leaves gaps. He's def got an arm.

The Marietta school board guys here still rave on him, its pretty awesome.

edit: should read isnt a run-first QB

I work for Cobb County...Jennings is legit and is much more a passer than runner. He wont hesitate to take what the defense gives him. I also thought he looked really sharp in the spring game as well. Im stoked to see what he can do behind center next year. The smart thing would be to RS Harris IMHO.

@cajunduby: lol

Anyone expecting this young defense to stop a decent offense is just in denial at this point. They have a bright future, and Im stoked to see what they look like next year, but its not here yet and we shouldnt be counting on defense to win as it has the last few years. I really think we lost that game in the first half, by not checking down and avoiding the interceptions. If we just put 7 up in the first half we win.

So what if they convert 6 of 8 if we outscore and win the second half? It was the first half that cost us the game. As for Miles saying his team wasnt prepared, Im pretty sure we all know he's going to defend his players and take the blame for them. He's not going to go out and call players out for a bad game, he's not that coach.

I think it was the second end zone pick that was thrown, we had 2 guys wide open on the right side underneath. It wasnt a 3rd down toss, so there was no reason to try and force that throw.

Am I the only one who thinks the defense played well enough for us to win? The gameplan was good enough to win? And that Mettenberger's first half of not checking down cost us the game?

After watching Bridgewater through the first half of the Rutgers/Louisville game last night, I can honestly say I believe he's overhyped as well. He made some very poor choice throws. Got me to thinking, what defenses he's facing day in/day out that even come close to NFL? Hell, which ones come close to SEC? Forget the sugar bowl, everybody has a fluke game, and to me its looking more and more like that was the exception and not the rule.

Mett seems legit to me, and for his size and the ability he's displaying this year, has to be considered a top QB in the draft.

Mobile QBs at the college level work, its proven. They work due to the imbalance of talent, however, which does not exist at the next level. There are always exceptions, but just think back to how teams like Oregon fare vs the SEC. Its not just any mobile QB that will succeed at the next level. Mariota and the like Im not sold on yet, even though I can appreciate his skill in the college game.You could even go as far to say Manziel doesnt fare well vs an above average defense. I think most fans forget that 90% of college teams put the best players on offense, and why you see such high scores. Teams with great athletes on defense still negate most scrambling QBs. This fact can be proven by looking back at Cam Newton vs LSU. We were leading that game going into the 4th before they won it (forget stats, he was contained for the majority of the game), and now he's nothing special since teams have game planned for him, and have tape on him.
