    Shepard (sure big runs are great but what about the dropped passes), those are drive killers. Inconsistent offense. I would rather him catch the passes for 10-20 yards. Those dropped balls were actually more important then the run in the big scheme of things, LSU has no ability to get the chains moving.
  3. Who rates these two high enough to make them overrated?

  4. Well, you are preaching to the head choir boy on that one. Told everyone out here last summer 09 that this offense was going to suffer. They all threw their hate at me, just about every single one.

    I actually thought the D played good, and I am not a Chavis fan either but I thought they did what they could.

    One catch away from seeing Les resign on Monday, or he would wish he did.
  5. My input in the quote.

  6. 412 yards through the air is good? Is it the offense's fault, then?

    Les Miles resign? You may not be paying enough attention.
  7. I'm interested to see defensive stats by half. I'm betting two different games were played, because it seemed to me we were playing lights out in half numero uno.

    As much as this pains me to say it... JJ. I love the kid. But consistency in delivering the ball to playmakers has been our bread and butter in successful seasons... and this did not effectively happen.
  8. He did, but the second fumble was a killer. We only had to hold onto the ball and get a first down, and he was carrying it with one hand. Fumbling is the one issue that Les has been known to bench a starter for. Murphy fumbled one, too.

    I expect Ford will see the field this week. And I expect Ridley will be carrying a football around all week long . . .

  9. I have to agree. Jefferson appears to have reached his highest level of competence and it falls short of that needed for a championship team.

  10. As far as Murphy's fumble goes, it looked to me like the ground caused the fumble. Was perplexed as to why it was not challenged....
