Disappointed in the outcome, but still proud of the turn around I saw this year.
For the game itself, I have seen our offense become conservative, don't really agree with seeing it tonight. I would definitely not classify CMR as being conservative in this game. We had chances. Plays that players have made all year, so it couldn't have been coaching. King and Mitchell have balls go right through their hands. They haven't done that since the BSU game so obviously they have been taught how to catch. Had chances, didn't capitalize.
Special teams have to get better. At the same time, some credit has to be given to mathieu. He is an absolute playmaker. Need to improve, and believe we will.
Defense, laid it all on the line. I do think they started feeling sorry for themselves, but a team as good as lsu can do that to you. I want to commend Shawn Williams. I was disappointed in they way he acted in the Vandy game. However, SW you are a ball player my friend. Very proud of the player you have become. Keep that drive to get better, and you might be one of the best in the country.
Running back situation is a disaster. IC, I would just rather CMR grant him a release. No heart, and tons of attitude. Realize people keep wanting Boo. Not going to rip the kid, but if he was so good, I am sure he would be on the field. Watched him first hand against uk, and wasn't really impressed. Looked a step slow attacking the line of scrimmage. Would rather see him play over IC anyday though. Need help. Need to land 2 backs in this recruiting class.
Ben Jones, absolutely think the world of the kid. Great career. I know you will finish it right.
I will say this, I am not a fan of statements like CMR will NEVER WIN A NC AS A HEAD COACH. Understand that's what you believe. Give more than that. Name a coach that you personally could guarantee a NC with. Guessing you are going to say Miles and Saban. Newsflash, we would never be able to get them. So instead of stating such a general statement, please inform of us of the coach you feel would win a NC no doubt.
