So, for someone forced to listen to the first half on a car radio (did I mention I hate my power company?)
Were both offenses as incompetent as they sounded, or what it just Ole Miss?

Eh
Alabama couldn’t score in their red zone and had to settle for three field goals, before Ingram broke a long score. Ole Miss on the other hand, has been dreadfull on offense.

I wasn’t paying close attention, but my half-assed impression is that it was a lot like the first half of LSU-UGA – pretty much as 49er16 said, one team could move the ball but couldn’t finish drives, and the other simply sucked.

Ole Miss was awful on offense
Bama was less than impressive, especially considering some of their field position.
If OM could have managed even a couple first downs, it would have been much closer.
Snead kinda….sucks.

Okay
I think we can officially say that Oklahoma simply isn’t that good. They’re only up 14-7 on Baylor in the third quarter with Sammy Heisman playing.

Yeah
Much as I like the Mayor, I think he might be wrong on this one. It’s hard to see Richt holding on if this season gets much worse, though he might buy a year by firing Bobo and Martinez.
Sad thing is, I actually saw a shot of Richt on the sideline one of the times I flipped over to that game and thought to myself, “He’s beginning to look a little like Jim Donnan.” Not much, but just enough.

by cocknfire on Oct 10, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just so
I think that Richt himself has earned a considerable amount of slack – it’s the coordinators who are on the really toasty seats. If he’s willing to cut them loose, then he can survive a lost season. But if he isn’t, then things get dicey… will the fans be more willing to jettison a head coach who refuses to fix his staff, or to tolerate a staff that is no longer trusted in order to retain a HC who is?
by peachy rex on Oct 10, 2009 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's a question I don't think anyone knows the answer to
Kyle, whom I trust most to represent the level-headed Georgia fan, says he doesn’t see Richt walking the plank for his assistants. But if Richt does decide to remain loyal to the death, then I think the non-rational fans might take over. At which point all bets are off.

Okay so
I’ll be watching Florida – LSU with my wife, so my contributions here will be few and far between. I have just a few pregame thoughts:
1. From a purely football standpoint, Florida’s defense renders the quarterback questions pretty much moot.
2. I’m actually not nervous at all. Excited? Yes. Nervous? No.
3. If LSU plays like they did against Georgia, they’re going to get smoked.

Yeah – they’re pretty straightforward, so there’s no excuse for such subjectivity. I wonder myself sometimes if the stiffer penalties – fifteen yarders, and grounding with the loss of down – aren’t called more precisely because they are so devastating (esp to an offence; OPI and personal fouls simply wreck drives.)

Oh, yeah. Even holding probably gets call less than it should – ten yards hurts. I bet if the definition were left exactly as-is and the penalty were reduced to five yards, you’d see it considerably more.

It might have been DPI or, more likely, defensive holding – but a receiver will never get called for something that subtle. Just like lineman can get away with holds just about every play if they’re careful enough.

by cocknfire on Oct 10, 2009 9:29 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
The way the game is going low-to-middling twenties against middling teens sounds about right. At this point I’d give the edge to UF, narrowly – LSU got a couple of nice stops in the red-zone but wasn’t able to prevent the Gators from driving the field, whereas UF’s defence has had a bit more success so far.
A score to start off the half for UF could make things interesting for LSU.

Halftime Thoughts
LSU is very much in this game. This is not exactly the start they wanted, but it’s not gotten out of hand. They’ve been able to move the ball so far, but they’ve had the same problem against Florida that they had against Auburn: turning yards into points in general and TDs in particular.
Tebow looks fine. It was natural (I think) to worry about him when the offense looked lost at the beginning of the first drive. After that, he looked like Tim Tebow, especially as the half went on and they gave him a little more free reign.
Florida might have needed Tebow. I’m not sure this game would be going this well without him.

LSU is sort of in the game
But it should be at least 13-3 and I saw very little in the first half (other than wildly inconsistent officiating) that will keep the Tigers in it for good.

I definitely agree about the last point
The way our receivers have been inconsistent, we need that threat of running from the QB. That, more than the hold, is the reason why Cooper was so open for the TD.
