Texas whiffed on the dropped pass - self inflicted wound.
The timing that he flicked the ball out there seemed way off. And he put it up where the WR had little time to find the ball and then sorta contort up and around and back to the ball, which is tough as hell.
He should have caught it I guess. But it didn’t seem like THAT bad of a drop to me in real time. I thought the QB could have given the receiver another half second or so to be ready and thrown it to the inside of the field a bit more.
Maybe I need to watch the play again.

I think were I an LSU fan I would be LESS concerned with a 20-13 win than a 45-38 win.

The problem is Texas probably should have won that game since they whiffed on two separate 4th and goal attempts. That's 14 points off the board.
The second attempt doesn't happen if they score on the first attempt. Remember their second attempt came after an INT when LSU was pinned down inside the 5 after their failed first attempt, on a tipped pass no less.
All that also happened in the 1st quarter. Hard to say Team A should have won the game had Scenario A happened differently in the 1st quarter. Entire game would have played out differently with an infinite amount of unknown scenarios.
Also, as has already been addressed, Texas didn't whiff on attempt #2. They simply got shut down.

Would still be a huge win against a good team on the road, but more in line with LSU wins of the past - grind it out, stuff them on defense, hold on late.
No. Part of the excitement is that we beat that Big 12 at its own game.

For me no. If we ground-and-pound but still beat Texas, I would not be excited. For me as an LSU fan, it is not that we beat Texas, it is how we beat Texas. LSU has a QB that can go out and win a game for them. This offense is for real.

You have plenty to be concerned about as it is, bruh.

We passed the ball on 3rd and 17 trying to move the chains. With a 7 point lead. With 2 minutes and change left in the game.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I lost my mind over the years because we played it safe and sat on the ball instead of playing to win.
74-72 was just the last in a long, long list of games (even many that we won) where we didn't finish the game and left the door open.

Fair question. I am kind of happy LSU won this type of game. IN modern football, teams with a good QB, good WR and good Playcaller can put points on teams with elite Defensive talent. I remember Geno Smith, T. Austin and Dana H from WVU putting 580 yards and 470 passing on LSU's 2011 team That team had 6 NFL DB's, 2 first rounders in Claiborne and Reid, 1 who would have been a 1st rounder in Mathieu. 2 first rounders on the DL with Brockers and Mingo, etc. Texas has a excellent QB, elite WR and elite Play caller in Herman. I tip my hat to UT.
But in the past, when LSU was down more than 1 score in the 4th quarter against a team with even a good defense, I had no confidence LSU could score. I sat in Tiger Stadium in 2016 and watched Alabama win 10-0. When the Game was 3-0 I felt LSU had a chance, maybe get a Turnover, punt return and get a FG to tie it. Go to OT, get a sack on first down, Bama gets behind the chains, misses a FG and LSU kicks one to win 6-3. Stop and think about that. 6 to fricking 3 was the only way I thought LSU could win. Once the game was 10-0, LSU was DUNNNN.
I don't care how good a defense you have, you play a team with a QB that has 3 good WR and a coach that knows how to run the RPO and spread game, they are going to score points on you, unless they have turnovers. LSU can now win those shootout type of games. Over the last 10 years, LSU had no chance to do so based on the Structure of the offense.
Btw, I think back in the day you were on rivals, always a good poster back then. I don't post to often even though I have been a member on TD since 2012.

INDEED.... because that'd mean our defense play a damn good game for all four quarters.
Posted on 9/10/19 at 11:35 am to SummerOfGeorge
I like defensive games, but perception wise this is much better. Media and fans love big numbers and QB play. It gets eyes a lot more than a good defensive performance.

Win is a win
I watched Auburn beat State 3-2 in 08' and it was an old fashioned SEC defense game.

Saw the replay and while Ehlinger could've made a better throw, there is no excuse for dropping that. Hit his hands, didn't hang on, and then lost it on thigh pad on the way down.
It's at least 96% on the receiver.
