I wasn't worried when we went down 14-0 against Arkansas. Today I was worried - not despondent or angry, just worried. I want to know what CLM told those boys at half time. Knute Rockne would be proud.
Truly, I wasn't worried. But I was not a fan of the sleepwalking evident in the first & part-second quarters. I guess, if we are so dominant, why do we give it up, get behind, then have to play catch up? If we have the tools, we should dominate thru four quarters. Oh well, too idealistic. It is fun, in retrospect, to see the hopes of the opposition--made all the stronger in the 1st half--turn to running shyt in the 2nd half.
If by worried, you mean my heart pounding, my stomach in knots, my hands shaking, and my breathing a little off... then yes, I guess I was. GEAUX UNDEFEATED!!!!!!!!
That's what I mean, and I had none of those feelings. I was totally relaxed and confident, patient in the knowledge that we would dominate soon enough.
I was anxious because we couldn't get a first down. FWIW, I think we'd have gotten some first downs with a bit more Hilliard early on and more option. But, jeez, JJ couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. That was disappointing. But, I never thought we'd lose and absolutely knew we'd win after the punt return.
I was worried until TM7's punt return. How could you not be the way Georgia dominated the line of scrimmage and the game the first half? The one thought was that it might come back and bite em in the butt because of the opportunities missed in the 1st half.
I was convinced that Stud & Krags had outsmarted themselves and were letting JJ throw and throw and throw instead of pounding the rock or running some option in the first quarter and a half. I'm still wondering if Spencer Ware is 100%. The OL came alive in the second half. They played somewhat smilarly at TENN this year.
I was a little worried with how flat they came out. Haven't looked that dead all year, even against WKy. Couldn't help but wonder if all the "lose and still get into the NC" was getting to their heads. Should have known better with this group. Plus, I worry about everything too much, so it's mostly my fault.
