Uh-oh, where's COramprat? LSU isn't looking too good against Florida
The game is 60 minutes long. A lot can be said for the resolve of the LSU defense. They stayed in the game and forced turnovers (the fumble didn't get anything...remember the second missed field goal?). All part of the game. LSU pissed away 2 field goals that would have actually put us ahead before that last Florida scoring drive. So before you call Florida for pissing away a win you have to credit a team that was for all purposes out of the game and stayed with it. Two forth and ones and a goal line push at the end that had to be reviewed...Florida didn't give a damn thing away. They fought hard.LSU didnt win it, Florida pissed it away. Up 10 points and driving, fumble to setup an easy short field for LSU, then the pick in the 4th again short field.

USC pissed away their game...
Tebow came over to the Student section after that TD he scored and pretended he was dialing a phone...somehow his cell number got posted and he had a bunch of calls from LSU fans. His in-box was full of messages. I agree the chant was classless though. There has been ALOT of talk about that locally fro games in the past and I'd imagine the University is going to hit the students with some form of penalties. Students have been asked to tone it down and the band has quit playing certian songs due to the tasteless chants but some students take the imaturity further by organizing ways to make it worse. They will only make it hard on them in the form of pulled tickets and such. Not sure how they will handle it though.i must say, those 4th down runs by miles were ballsy. i was amazed he attmpted some of them, and depressed we didnt stop them.
but i must say that also, the FU tebow chant was pretty dang classless.... but whatever, it's college football, that's how it goes. i hope hope hope tennessee loses again (pretty likely) and we get lsu again in atlanta. that could be fun
Turnovers are part of the defensive pressure any team can force on an offense. A stripped ball from a running back or a safety waiting in the flat to pick one off...it is all part of a game plan. Just like a bomb down the sidelines or a kick return for a TD. Those are momentum changers too. The only time you can say a team gives away a game is when a team under estimates another team (USC/STANFORD) or a team turns the ball over 4-5 times in a game.No the fumble did not get LSU any points, but it was a huge swing in momentum which is incredibly important in college football. Florida was driving easily down the field and had all the momentum. The fumble killed that all, they could have easily been up 17 points and it would have been extremely unlikely LSU would have came back from that far down.
You really can't call the fumble a momentum changer since the Florida defense held us to no points. That should have put it back into their laps. Our D just stepped up and held so the offense could get back on the field.
Then Florida marched right down the field and scored. I thought it was over then. But they kept playing until the end. They gave up nothing. That is what impressed me. They had every opportunity to throw in the towel. Hell Jacob Hester (that RB for LSU) pretty much willed his way to first downs. He had the Florida defense on it's heals.I agree the LSU defense was impressive in the 2nd half. The whole USC losing thing got the whole LSU team excited and that definatly put some pep in their step.
