I can’t help it:
”I don’t know what happened out there. We played like a joke out there in the second half,” LSU defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. “It was nothing they did, it was everything we did. It was just an absolute joke in the second half. It was a complete and total breakdown.”
That’s typical LSU. Even while the LSU defense was strangling themselves with one hand and shooting themselves in the foot with the other, the Tennessee offense was making plays (hitting open receivers who were making catches, etc.). Have some class and give the team who scored 17 points in the 4th quarter a little credit.
”I actually thought we were going to win in overtime,” first-year LSU coach Les Miles. “I couldn’t believe that we didn’t win the game.”
Translation: “Who cares that our defense gave up 17 points in the fourth quarter and we had absolutely no momentum going into overtime? So what if my clock management skills were exposed when we failed to get a field goal off before half-time, which might have won the game without overtime? We’re LSU, we’re the best, I beat Oklahoma twice. I can’t believe we didn’t win that game. So what if I just got outcoached by a giant walking pumpkin, doesn’t Tennessee know who I am?”
Quick aside: Did anyone else notice all the LSU players that were cramping up? Did anyone else notice any Tennessee players experiencing cramps? Perhaps the rumors about a “lack of discipline” under Les Miles is true. There is absolutely no excuse for a team to be that out of shape.
”I think we just had a couple of missed opportunities,” Russell said.
Congratulations LSU fans, that’s your quarterback. The leader of your offense. All 6 foot 5 inch, 240 pound, number 4 high school quarterback , of him. How many more chances does this guy get to not make plays? This is his third year in Jimbo Fisher’s offense and he is completely ineffective as a quarterback. And don’t give me that crap about the Arizona State game, ASU had a special teams breakdown or LSU would be 0-2.
Teams like LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Miami, Florida St., Texas, USC, Ohio State, and Michigan have no excuse to lose games the way LSU lost to Tennessee last night. They have so much talent at every position that the blame has to rest solely on the coaching staff. Bo Pellini came in so highly regarded as a defensive mind. Looking good so far - giving up 560+ yards of total offense to ASU and then giving up 17 points in the 4th quarter of the home opener and an SEC game. I was concerned about his hiring more than the hiring of Les Miles, not anymore. It will be interesting to see how much leeway Les Miles is given in Red Stick. If you haven’t noticed, they take their college football pretty seriously down there.
Lastly, if you think I am just an LSU hater, here is an example of why I feel the way that I do: LSU fans throwing beer bottles . And don’t buy into the crap in the article about it being an isolated incident. They throw stuff at the opposing teams buses every home game. Just ask anyone from another SEC school who has attended a game in Baton Rouge, and then ask them if they are ever going back. I know I’m not.
