Yeah, that was great.

UGA lost to Texas...great

Not really great, that was an embarrassment to the conference.

You beat Texas...great.

Yep, back to being great..

doesn't mean you should be considered CFP locks or #1 in any poll.

Nice straw man there. I don't see anyone saying LSU is a lock for the CFP at this point in time, just as I don't see anyone saying LSU should be #1 right now.

you're the #7 team going on the road and beating the #9 team in the country. You did your job.

#6 team, and we did your job too. You're welcome, ingrate.

just stated you need to be balanced if you're going to get through your slate

Wrong, LSU needs to be able to run and pass, but not necessarily in any one game. They just need to be able to take what the defense is giving them. If the defense is selling out to stop the run all game long, LSU should be able to pass on that defense. If a defense is dropping 8 in coverage all game long, LSU needs to be able to run against that defense.
quote:

I will say the same for UGA when it comes to the passing game.

UGA was quite balanced in their game against LSU last season with 34 passes (47% completion rate) for 209 yards, and 30 rushes for 113 yards. Still got blown out by 20, though.

Keep doing your job and we can talk about LSU being in the playoff.

I never stopped doing my job. As a matter of fact, I can do my job and we can talk all at the same time. #multitask

I like that you broke down my comment like it was a game tape...play by play. Nice!

Losing to Texas in a bowl game is an embarrassment? Stop.
And plenty of writers have posted LSU as #1 in their rankings right now because they like the shiny new offense.

You can absolutely take what the defensive gives you, but if Alabama takes your passing game away, I'll give CEH 45 rushing yards this year since they have freshman LBs ;) but hey that's a 300% increase vs. last year's production.

Key stat in your UGA/LSU line...completion percentage. JF11s inability to extend drives hurt. We threw more than we needed to chasing points. It's actually a good example of why you need to be balanced. We started off with a good mix, taking shots down the field. Had solid success running the ball...then decide to become pass happy. JF11 had a rough day along with his receivers, all confidence lost, and then the box got stacked. Would play out similarly for anyone.

And 'doing your job' was in reference to LSU winning football games. Now unless, you play for LSU...then do your job and go win football games.
