I believe LSU could have stopped them better had it not been the injuries to Ali Highsmith and Daryyl Beckwidth.
Yea. Instead of McFadden running for 180 yards he would have run for just 160. You can't take anything away from McFadden. He is something else.
I was still surprised the defensive scheme wasn't better to counter the "Wildcat" formation. My God I'm so sick of hearing the word "Wildcat formation" from Lindquist. You knew what Arky was going to run the entire game. Sometimes they fake the handoff and other times they don't out of the damned Wildcat formation. There were only so many options they had in that formation. We've got to run the ball better though. That was not a good game for running the ball. Against a team like Mich, we will be 1 dimensional.
They just had an analyst on Cold Pizza pick LSU vs. Michigan in the Rose bowl. He said that he doesnt want to see a ND team that got absolutly drilled against good teams play in the Rose. He also said that LSU is the best team in the SEC. Thye showed about a minute of great LSU highlights. :geauxtige :geauxtige :geauxtige
I was wondering why they werent bringing in an extra DB or having a LB to shadow Jones or McFadden when they were in motion. That play was killing us. No matter what McFadden is a great back and would have had his yards. I love that play when he cut the corner and LaRon came up and they had that awesome stick. It was great to see the respect LaRon and McFadden showed each other.
Here is my take... if UF loses to Arky then that would put Michigan #3 & LSU #4. So that would just make this matchup more interesting.
There is absolutely no chance that Arkansas can pass LSU in the BCS. The voters still remember we went into Little Rock and won.
Yes, my guess (and hope) is that the #3 vs. #4 matchup causes Rose Bowl officials to start drooling uncontrollably. Alternatively, the Michigan vs. Notre Dame matchup should cause them to vomit uncontrollably. Just my take.
A close loss by Florida, and heaven forbid the Rose chooses Notre Dame, I give LSU's chance over Florida as a 40/60 split in Florida's favor. The bigger the defeat for Florida, the better those odds get for LSU. My guess would be if the margin of victory is 2 TDs or better, we probably have nothing to worry about. Florida has been skating by all year long, and a thumping at season's end by Arkansas will confirm many people's suspicions (including my own) that Florida was not nearly as good as their #4 ranking would indicate.
