Gonna call it right now. LSU beats Mississippi tomorrow.

Very good game. I would say best game of the day.

The one knock on Freeze has been his in-game management skills. I've taken up for him on that subject in the past but cannot after last night. Horrendous end of game decision making.

Having said that, LSU deserved the W.

I don't know if I agree. I wonder if the roles were reversed, would the LSU fans be mad at Miles for the decision? My sense is that we would be mad at the QB. What a total lack of composure from that guy. I don't want to hear anyone else say that there isn't a "bad Bo". That guy went on tilt in the mid-fourth quarter and was out of his mind on the last three series. Damn man....he was just lost ALL his composure.

Good stuff. I agree with you on a lot of it, but there's a lot of "if's" in there, if you know what I mean.

If LSU can run enough to make play action effective. If LSU can get pressure on Bo(he hasn't turned the ball over in 4 SEC games). If they can win the TO battle(Ole Miss has done a fantastic job creating turnovers in conference play). If they can win ST's(Ole Miss has one of the best kick and punt coverage teams in the country, is really good in kick return, but is awful in punt return).

IMO, LSU's biggest advantage here is their kicker is much more reliable than Ole Miss. We have to get that figured out or it could cost us a game(including this one). They also do a much better job than Ole Miss in punt return, and they obviously run the ball better(not saying much, as neither of them have been great in that facet of the game this year).

I agree that LSU is going to have to throw the ball early more to be competitive here. I don't think they can just line up and run the ball and win this game. My opinion is that if people think that is what Miles is going to do, they are wrong. The one thing that worries me most(besides our kicking game), is that I fully expect Miles to have some trickery up his sleeve today. I think he knows he needs it, and I could see it being a difference maker tonight if LSU is to win the game.

Well, LSU did exactly what I said they would.....pushed Ole Miss off the ball and ran it straight down their throats.

Fair enough but one question Pete. Taking everything into account that you just said (i.e., Bad Bo, loss of composure 2nd half, history of bad decisions! etc...), doesn't that make the correct decision for Freeze to take the game out of Bo's hands and go ahead and kick the field goal? No timeouts. Any number if things could've happened to end the game. Holding call, sack, WR tackled in bounds, an INT, etc.

Honestly, if I'm Coach Freeze, I PROBABLY would have kicked the filed goal and stopped fucking around with LSU's defense. It was very clear in the 2nd half that Ole Miss' offense was struggling to move the ball....and on that last drive, they had narrowly missed turning it over already. It just seemed like every play they ran was on the edge of a big disaster. Maybe he just knew the kicker was not reliable from that range. Hell, I don't know.

LSUPete, How do you like you're chances with Bama ? How many pts do you see you'll be getting ? I'm guessing 4 or 4 1/2

Eh.....let's don't get carried away. The LSU team is coming together, that's for certain, but Bama's defense is set up to stop all that shit we did to Ole Miss last night. LSU will have to throw it a LOT more on the 8-10 yard intermediate routes to be successful against Bama.

My sense is that Bama will be favored by less than a TD and I will take Bama minus the points.
