LSU Season Overview
This is one of my favorite times of the year, when every one is 0-0 and sports prognosticators all over the country are talking up their favorites for the NCAA college football championship. My LSU Tigers even got a couple of mentions as potential champions and started the year at #1 in someone’s [...]

Wow. Just. Wow.
After a season of incompetence, where did LSU come up with an offense? Jefferson looked great today, and when he had to play, even Lee made some nice throws. The CBS crew denoted both LSU quarterbacks as “player of the game” for their performance today, and they deserved it. LSU’s offense racked up [...]

After barely holding on to beat a team with 13 starters suspended, after the debacle that was the end of the Tennessee game, who would have thought that the Bayou Bengals would have come up with yet another wild ending? Believe it, they did. They relied on a fake field goal (a bounce pass that [...]

Let me set the stage for you in case you didn’t watch the game live as I did.
Your team is down by 4 points. A field goal does not help. You’re driving and at the opponents 9 yard line with less than a minute to go. Your team has no time-outs left.
Pass attempt into the [...]

Seriously, how does LSU deserve a top ranking when they’re 102nd in the nation in offensive production? They’re ahead of only Vanderbilt in the SEC with just under 300 yards of offense per game. Their defense is top ranked in the SEC (#1 in yards allowed, #2 in points allowed) but in the college game [...]

LSU improved to 4-0 behind the running attack of Ridley and the big return from Patrick Peterson who already has two returns for scores this year. Jordan Jefferson continues to be underwhelming as the starter, but LSU managed to eek out a win. After watching the Arkansas / Alabama game this weekend it’s clear that [...]

LSU still has not manifested much offense. Other than the first half against North Carolina they’ve looked fairly ordinary. However, their defense came up big against the Bulldogs with Patrick Peterson taking in two interceptions and the rest of the team chipping in three more for a total of five. Our kicker punched in five [...]

LSU took care of business at Vanderbilt this weekend. If they’re going to contend in the SEC West this year, they have to win the games they’re supposed to win, and they managed to do that. It wasn’t a stellar game, from what I read, but they got a good showing from their defense and [...]

I thought about turning off the game at halftime with the Tigers up 30-10. I’m glad I didn’t. It turned out to be quite a nail-biter, didn’t it? And it certainly didn’t have to be that way.
LSU took on a depleted UNC squad in the annual SEC / ACC pairing to open the regular season [...]
