    First of all, what a win! Very exciting game - I wound up pausing the game at halftime, and took my wife to dinner - figured if LSU lost the game I'd be in such a bad mood I wouldn't want to do anything. Obviously the second half was a huge change for the better!

    Now for some questions/nickpicking - in no way am I trying to criticize - a win is a win, right?

    With the WRs that we have, does anyone else think that it would be a good idea to play more WRs at the same time? Who is going to cover all of the guys we can put out there? Spread the defense out, make the defense play us man-to-man, and not only would our passing game improve, but it would open up our running game. It seems to me that I recall Rohan Davey throwing a lot to Josh Reed, but there seemed to always be 2 or 3 other receivers on the field. Currently it seems that we use 2 WRs more often. (And my recollection of things could be completely wrong, but that's the impression I have).

    Another question, (I deleted the game already from my Tivo, so I can't go back and re-watch it, so if I have the details wrong below forgive me) - did it seem like we were trying to set up for that long-range field goal attempt late in the 4th quarter, instead of trying to get a lot closer and possibly even score a touchdown? We wound up leaving too much time on the clock, and another first-down or two would have made it a much easier kick and taken a good chunk of time off the clock, but it seemed like we didn't try very hard after we were within Jackson's range.

    So I guess my minor issues would be to utilize more of our WRs at the same time, and better clock management at the end of the 4th quarter.

    LOL... it was in HD, and that takes up a LOT of space - I really need to take the time to add the extra 400GB drive I bought for it!

    Turn your tv to Cox cable channel 37 right now. You can watch it yourself.

    Damn, one of the few times I wish I had Cox instead of DirecTV... thanks anyway though.
