LSU Game Thread...

[JLine]

Agreed...with our play calls...a 2 pt play is probably a 50/50 shot. On side kick is about 10%

And if we don't get the 2, we are still down two scores. Kick a FG for the tie, or win. I don't care either way, but if we score again I want a shot to tie and not be down two. We had nothing to lose. I'd be fine with the onside if we went for two, and missed.

No one would be saying it was a dumb decision if we got the ball back.

 

[Finwad32]

Sure. That's part of the risk assessment.

Exactly, that's why I try to be open to both sides of it... although I might not do that, I can understand why others do .

I think I'm about as happy as I could be with a loss tonight.

Someone show me where our talent was out matched across board. We were better IMO at qb, lb and the front 4 to me were a push tonite. They had athletic wr and rbs who were freaks in space.

Not sure LSU will win 7 games.

We had the better QB. D came to play. Overall they had the better athletes. Can’t blame Dino for taking some chances. Didn’t think the onsides was needed, but could be wrong. Loved the fakes we called that got firsts, and the play that should’ve been a TD that Riley dropped.

 

[OrangeDW]

Time on clock...we kick it deep. They were playing the on side too.

If they had a great O or our D was getting lucky I’d get it. Honestly thought we could stop them.

That Riley drop was a bigger play than the onside kick

Feel bad for the kid, but geez. Wide open. Wasn’t even a tough catch.

Yup perfect pass hit him right in stride

Dungey also made a great throw opposite his body on 3rd that wasnt caught. Hero ball throw to Ish should’ve been caught too. Dungey, other then that early INT(which was huge) came to play. Respect to him.

A couple horses and a WR that can get deep(and we had two last year) and we’re good.

For Dungeys sake, hope we can somewhat get it before he’s gone. Love the way he competes and want to see him at least play in a bowl game.

You have to make stops to get decent field position. You know what happens if you get the onside?

You get

Wait for it

Great field position

Yeah, because recovering the on sides kick happens all the time.

 

[JoeySimz]

Omg, llandz you called it!

you could say that about any bad decision ever made. It doesn't make it the right thing to do.

Prophetic

 

[PhatOrange]

No. That was before the game. After watching these two teams, I can't agree with that.

And I think you are nuts

 

[PhatOrange]

you've got some questionable Babers decisions to sustain you throughout the week. Congrats.

None at all. Because you seem to forget all the Baber's decisions that kept us in the game duh

 

[OrangeDW]

On the positive side, kept 3 out of the 4 TVs on Cuse all game. Some other Cuse fans showed up, and the random people got into it in Cuse’s favor by the end. Place was rocking for Cuse by the 4th quarter. I gave a mocking “TVs are all yours now” gesture to the ND fan as I left.

What city were you in?

There was a brief shot of ED sitting on the bench with tears in his eyes in the waning seconds. Tells you everything you need to know about him. Always wears his emotions on his sleeve, for better or worse.

The first play pick notwithstanding, I thought the kid played great. Great throw on that drop to Riley. If that’s caught he’s up to around 300 yards. It was kindve a questionable decision but Ishmael should’ve caught that one in the end zone. Those two plays are made and the kid throws for 320 or so and 3 TDS and we probably win. That third down throw while running to his left also should’ve been caught. Juked the LB out of his shoes on that one run. With zero running game, zero deep threat(that can actually catch) I thought Eric(and coach) did a great job to keep us in this one offensively.

 

[OrangeDW]

What city were you in?

Way up north, Adirondack Mountains. Nowhere near a city as far as I know, lol.

 

[JLine]

Yeah, because recovering the on sides kick happens all the time.

5% of the time, it works every time.

 

[JLine]

Dungey is a warrior. Some of the stuff he does amazes me. That throw across his body on the run was unreal. Unfortunately, it was dropped, of course. He tried to get the next play off so bad too.

Feel bad for the kid, but he will get his payoff for all the hard work. This year, and next. Two bowl wins. Just bring in the stickem, and we're good to go. It's really insane because with those gloves it's difficult to drop the ball, and he isn't throwing rockets out there.
