I thought LSU ran the ball very well early but as it became apparent they weren't going to throw much we stacked the box and did a good job taking away the run as the game went on. I personally believe Miles showed why he is a championship level coach with his willingness to win an ugly game. A lesser coach(thinking Richt here) would have tried to score more and could have potentially lost the game by putting his defense in bad spots against an offense that wasn't going to move the ball against the defense.

In the 1st quarter LSU dominated the game. They racked up 120 yards compared with Auburn's -5 yards. When it became 9-0 I thought LSU was going to run away with it. Then Mettenberger fumbled deep in Auburn territory. That changed the nature of the game in my opinion and it was a struggle for LSU's offense from thereon out.

We had the same thing last year with Mississippi State - the SEC is full of great players. Saturday, Auburn's showed up to play, as did the crowd. While it's tough to say we dominated them - we controlled the pace, for the most part, and the 2 fumbles resulted in a 12 point shift (we got 2 instead of 7, then they got their only 7 off of a turnover). That game looks much better for us if it was 20-3, which is what the play, minus our fumbles, equates to.
I don't like posts like this. Yes, you can say what you said. I can say we gave you 3 on the muffed point by Bray. I can say we lost 7 on the OMac overthrow that would've been a TD. Or Coates dropping the long pass on the opening drive may have resulted in a FG for us. Crap happens during every game that affects the final score. No need to search for reasons to have a fictional score. Yes, you could've won by 20 or we could've won by 8. But no reason to talk about it, because you guys won by 2.
