LOVED our tigers tonight, but onside kick with 13 seconds left, really Chip Kelly?

    With the game already decided you go for an onsides kick with 13 seconds left?

    classless in my opinion.

    Chip was pissed LSU scored at the end...a taste of his own medicine. They will rack up 50 on someone and it will be alright with him......

    I would expect our team to do the same thing. Keep fighting.

    What did you expect? Anything can happen, I would think less of him if he didn't try the onside. Never give up, never! Where he and the ducks lost my respect was all the dirty play. Multiple leg whips, clips and personal fouls.

    I sure hope that wasn't the case. We called the dogs off way too early and almost let them back in the game. Our last TD was to put the game away, hardly running up the score.

    I don't mind the kick but didn't like the cheap shots on the line.

    That caught my attention too. Read all the comments on other sites about how (after Shady's) we were the big college football thugs now. Wonder if they'll still be saying that about us after tonight?

    Absolutely, if there is time on the clock keep driving trying to score, keep fighting.

    but when there are 13 seconds left, doing an onsides kick, what are you trying to accomplish exactly? the game is over, to me it is a way for someone to get injured for no damned reason.

    Kick the damned ball deep, we will kneel it down and all shake hands and be on our way.

    we scored with over 2 minutes to go in the game

    no way he thought we were running up the score
