Walrus hadn't played it safe b/4 halftime. Mo was sliding our way and then Louisiana State comes out 1st drive and scores. Difference maker.

I'll give Croom limited props, they were better preped to play than usual, but the usual stupid game-time decisions haunts this man.

All they had to do was run that #32 against us all night long. I hope Anthony Dixon was looking at how a real running backs runs the ball-always moving his legs and going forward, and if there isn't a hole you make one.

Ducre doesn't drop the damn ball when we had a chance to cut the game to 3 points in the 4th quarter. He catches that pass, he takes it to the house.

If a frog had wings, though, he wouldn't bump his ***.

Agreed. LSU just did enough to win. After Croom's dumbass decision to end the half, Miles knew the game was never in doubt and had no need to come out swinging in the second half.

It took us 18 plays and over 9 minutes to drive the length of the field for a TD in the 2nd half. That includes 3 plays from the 1 yard line. Do you really think we could have done anything in a minute and a half with our trainwreck of an offense?

remove any chance (however remote) of winning and sent a message to everyone including the players that he didn't think we had a chance of winning.

their 2's and 3's for a lot of the first half and all of the second half. Add to that the three turnovers and there is at least some belief you SHOULD have been able to win or at least be much closer than two scores. Having rubbed your face in it, I DO feel your pain. We are still not greatly different from you, the worm turned our way yesterday.

If it matters, my son and I were pulling for you, however at some point near the end of the game he turned to me and asked about Sly, "Has he given up? What's he laughing about? They can still win this game and he's now even watching the damn game."

Hopefully, the Shrimp Boat skipper will dock in Starkville and take on some new crew this year.

if I was him, I would have used the timeouts to create more plays.... even if the plays were running plays after a timeout.

However, I remember how we lost control of the game last year when MSU threw 3 interceptions to LSU before half. Now, that does not excuse us on how we play future games.

But... LSU is a really good team..... better than Georgia, Alabama, Florida?? Time only tells.</p>
