So damn proud of this team...

[anomander]

Great game all around. Offense, defense, special teams, coaching, the crowd. Mahoney showed balls.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Me Too! No quit in this team!

 

[Shark58]

This is a dumb question, but what year is Mahoney exactly?

guess he gets a schollie next year...and Wilson transfers

Sophomore.

 

[Nahson]

can we please stop the #narrative of the 5th string, walk on QB now?

1- he's clearly our #2
2- when the pre-season began, I believe he was our 6th string, walk on QB (behind Hunt, AJ, Wilson, Dungey & Womack)

No. He played about as good as you could have hoped for today but he's still a walk-on QB. Props to him but this fight was all the more impressive having him as our starter.

Definitely something to build on. He accomplished some things today. Dungey/Long/Mahoney/Culpepper next year is some legitimate depth.

 

[orange79]

Agreed. So proud of this team, and totally stoked for the rest of the season

 

[OkieTiger]

I agree with all of y'all. I really hope your team takes this helluva game and runs with it. I'll be rooting for ya the rest of this season.

However, I am blaming your team for some new gray hairs!

 

[CanadianSU]

I don't ever believe in "moral victories" but...

This was a moral victory. Without question. 5th string, walk-on QB, against the Heisman frontrunner and all of that SEC speed and a top 10 team, and we keep it close?

This team could VERY WELL be 6-1 going into the Florida State team. I know it'll take some doing, but after today, how can you not think that - assuming Dungey and Philips are back healthy - USF, UVA, and Pitt are all winnable?

Assuming we would be ranked as well... ! If we do that.

 

[creatorsgam]

I can't wait to go down in two years for the rematch

Agreed. Can't wait for the LGO chant in the final minute of that upset. OrangeOut Baton Rouge '17.

 

[tep624]

Agree 100%. They outperformed beyond anyone's wildest expectations today. We held our own with a team that's arguably a top 5 team right now. Nothing to be ashamed about here. And if Dungey plays, we may very well have won.

Same here.My oldest son lives in Baton Rouge.Gonna have to pay him a visit that weekend for sure!

Long may seek greener pastures

Culpepper should prep for a year, both to rehab and then have 3 years as a starter taking over for the 2x defending champion QB Dungey and following in the footsteps of Zack "the Mack" Mahoney who is going to Philcox the NFL

still a walk on
still our #2
still was at one point this year our #6

No way Culpepper preps, unless there's an injury concern. If Long's plan was to transfer I think he'd be pushing to play now instead of redshirting.

 

[OkieTiger]

And those of you who have been visiting our board, hit me up in a couple of years. Standing tailgate invitation.

Upset? We'll probably be a top 10 team in 2017.

obviously a little tongue in cheek with my post. you of all people here should recognize that.

I don't think Long was really thinking about moving on, esp burning this year and would have to do the same unless he went way down in weight class.

that said, he's now looking at Dungey and Mahoney ahead of him, and with plenty of eligibility left. With Culpepper and his bloodlines joining that group, plus hopefully another solid QB recruit or 2, Long may think otherwise

I will 100% make that trip.

Ha, fair enough. I wouldn't put Mahoney ahead of Long though. Long had a similar, actually probably a better game vs FSU last season, and he also won a road game. Ideally, we only see Mahone in mop up time the rest of the year.

As a diehard 'Cuse fan since my earliest memories, I'm embarrassed to have not considered such a situation. Valid post.

I feel that I should apologize. I'm sorry.

We've got that '17 game

 

[Shark58]

maybe we should turn the LSU helmet about 15 degrees

 

[All4SU]

Lester is such a HUGE FREAKING upgrade as OC it isn't even funny compared to the prior one.

Lester showed an awful lot today. Really maximized what he had to work with.

Yeah, I like that even though he had a QB with some obvious limitations, he called a real game. Very encouraging.
