I'm not flaming LSU fans because LSU won by 14.

I'm flaming them because they are so insecure that they have to convince themselves that AU ran up 430 yards on thejr scrubs, when it's clear that their first string played the overwhelming majority of the game, on both sides of the LOS.

Did they lose their intensity up by 3 TDs for a good part of the game? Sure, its human nature. Did Lester take his foot off the gas? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. Did they clearly have the superior team? Unquestionably. Was their lead ever in serious jeopardy in the 2nd half? Probably not.

So, why do so many of you feel it necessary to explain away AU's modest success on offense by falsely claiming that your best defensive players were cooling their heels on the sidelines for the entire second half while you were giving your walkons some garbage time in a blowout?

You're starting to sound like Arky fans. Stop it before you embarrass yourselves.

I've heard ALOT of LSU fans say Les took his foot of the gas, which is probably true. I have NOT really heard anyone say that we took our starters out.

Honestly, LSU uses two deep personnel all game so I don't even think it counts to say we took starters out if we've got a bunch of two's in. Some of the two's play more than the starters. Most LSU fans know this.

This is not a flame but I think Once LSU got up 21, we treated this game, to a degree, like we did UAB and Kent. Get a W and try to stay healthy. Admittedly, we could have, nonetheless, played better in the second half. Combine that with the fact that Auburn didn't quit and you get 35-21 instead of 41-0.
