How does Mullen have the balls to say this?

Their guys made plays, ours didn't," Mullen said. "Really that was the bottom line of the football game. I thought our guys played tough, played physical. We needed to make a play defensively."

You've got to be kidding me. We gave up 19 points, tonight, scored 6, and you say we need to make a play defensively? They did the whole night. Messed up once on the TD pass, and they get called out? I don't think so.That doesn't fly right with me.

He is saying we needed a play from the defense because our offense couldn't do anything.

And the lottery is a great investment vehicle if you pick the right numbers.

If the D could have held them on their side of the field the times that we pinned them back, we could have played more with a short field or had a good special teams play.

The point is, that their excellent D shut our offense down, so we needed something big from defense or special teams.

If we had that, maybe we are within one score with 6 minutes left and Mullen wouldn't have called it a ballgame at that point.

a late hit personal foul after we had tied up the game and had all the momentum in the second half. We had LSU stalled and let them off the hook. You just can't do that kind of crap when you are trying to beat the #3 ranked team in the country. It was all downhill after that.

I agree with whoever said he's not calling them out- if he's calling anyone out it's the offense because he's saying we needed a defensive (or special teams) TD to win because we couldn't score on them.

Where's Ellis Johnson when you need him.

the basic difference in the two teams that I saw was that LSU could throw the ball effectively and MSU could not. That is not all on RELF as the receivers had some drops and Mullen went away from the short play action passing game that was working so well in the first half. A little better play selection and a little better execution on offense and this was a different ball game. I dont think the talent gap is that wide between the two teams although LSU may have a little more depth and a lot better receivers. Mullen's though process in the second half confused me and I wanted MSU to win.
