re: Overall opinion of play

So my question to those that watched the game is do you think lsu played good or bad overall.

I think LSU played its best game of the year against Tennessee, but that nothing went LSU's way (that is, until the very end ... lol).

Giving Lee control of 5 possessions out of 11 made all the difference in the world. The defense got beaten a couple of times because UTK made great plays, but overall, the D still played great. I can't think of the last time LSU doubled-up its opponent in total yardage.

Now I realize that the 9 penalties and -4 turnover-margin thing does detract from the performance of the players somewhat, but I also realize that there is a lot of "random noise" in those statistics that is just based on the luck of the particular day.

In sum: Players played their best game of the year; coaches sucked balls as usual.
