You just gained 20 yards in 20 seconds... then you don't use your timeouts? Our offense looked the best it has all year, and you don't at least TRY to get it down the field? Eh...

i don't. i'm sick of being so conservative. if we come out and compete in the 2nd half that could have just lost us the game.

Greedy?

LSU would have had the ball with maybe 30 seconds at worst.

I actually think NOT taking a shot tells our offense that Croom has no confidence in them. Think about LSU's 4th down that they punched in for their last TD- Croom would have kicked a FG- guaranteed. Now LSU has a 7 point lead instead of a 3.

Why the %!+* not? You can't win if you don't score. We were basically calling our shot the last 5 minutes of the half. You have 3 timeouts... use the %$@#$*$ get it down far enough to try a fg. As it stands, they get the ball to start the half with a chance to go up by 10 or 14 to start the half. Talk about a momentum killer

from your mom in 6th grade.</p>

People, our offense has to earn the right to be that aggressive. So far they haven't done anything to prove that the odds of us scoring are better than the odds of us turning it over.</p>

...how is the offense going to earn the right to be agressive if you don't give them the opportunity to be aggressive? ****, anything can happen. Lee could throw it down field, have it intercepted, have the DB fumble it, and we run it in for a score. Nothing happens if you just lay down.

There's no excuse for it.

to put up a respectable amount of points. All they are now is a team that has put up a grand total of 13 points in conference play. You honestly think we score when LSU knows we are passing every down? I don't.

You're pulling **** out of your *** to try to defend your stupid assessment of Croom's decision. This **** you just said has nothing to do with why you do or don't try to score. "Earn the right to be aggressive"? @$+% you.

1. We were ahead or tied, or
2. We had no timeouts, or
3. We had the ball inside our own 20.

None of those things were true. In fact, we were almost in LSU territory with a full minute left, tons of momentum and THREE TIMEOUTS. Which we promptly took with us to wipe our asses with in the locker room. Croom was a gutless sack of crap. What makes it worse is that LSU gets the ball to start the half. INCREDIBLE.
