PrintGeorgia Bulldogs at LSU Tigers, Dec 3, 2011 4:00 PM EST
The only SEC game today, of course, is the title game between LSU and Georgia. But feel free to discuss the other games as well. We'll be around sporadically before then and throughout the main event and many of the evening games.

If Southern Miss wins the Conference USA title game, I still think they go to the Liberty Bowl
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Not reallly
There’s an enormously convoluted scenario that would put them in the BCS, but I don’t see it
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Yeah
USM would have to get all the way up to No. 18 in the BCS standings for it to even be possible, and I don’t think that will happen. TCU losing to UNLV is also an element in all practicality, and that’s not happening either.

Whoops
UNLV scored first, but only with a FG, and TCU has now scored two unanswered touchdowns.

Anyone else watching the playoffs?
Honestly, the only reason I’m watching is Georgia Southern; my brother is there now and my aunt & uncle both went there. The Eagles are currently trading touchdowns with Old Dominion; it’s 41-35 with 3:00 left in Q3; OD just blocked an extra point.
I'm an App State guy
So I follow along with an eye, but not too much — given the bajillion questions App has across their team that they’ve somehow managed to go 8-3 in the SoCon without answering. They’re down 13-6 at home, at half, to Maine.

Great game.

Sumlin to A&M within 24 hours. That’d be a tough pill for the UH players to swallow if the time table doesn’t change.

I realize that it's a recruiting thing
But you’d think there’d be some kind of moratorium on announcing new coaches until after bowl games.

I don’t see why. It’s never been that way at any point in college football history.

I know.
It seems like it would be demoralizing for the current team. But then again, if they’re a coach moving on to better things than I suppose they should be able to keep the current team’s spirits up through the bowl game.
by BrotherFlounder on Dec 3, 2011 4:03 PM EST up reply actions
I wish it was that way too
Not sure the NCAA has that power (plus you know the coaches would be hired behind scenes & be working behind scenes for their new team during the bowl lead up anyway).
That was Mark Harmon narrating that segment, by the way
Leroy Jethro Gibbs watches the SEC for his college football. That is all
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Any non-Georgia people giving them a chance?
I haven’t watched much Georgia football since their back-to-back opening season losses, so I’m not sure how much they’ve improved, but the ten wins with their schedule doesn’t really impress. I will be pleasantly surprised if they keep it close past the first quarter or so.
I do
I don’t think it’s a great chance, but they can do it if they play one of their best games and LSU has a bad game.

LSU can't get pressure on Murray
While UGA managed to hold LSU to nothing in the first drive.
by BrotherFlounder on Dec 3, 2011 4:22 PM EST up reply actions
Aaron Murray hit King on a long completion to account for most of the drive; Murray pump faked while Tavarres King did a stop-and-go, and Claiborne fell down on the stop. UGA’s drive stalled out on the next set of downs, featuring King dropping a pass in the end zone. 40-yard FG for Walsh.

UGA’s monster offensive line (in the top 5 largest in either college or pro) is doing very well in pass protection, but it’s not doing much for the run game.

And I'm infront of a TV, finally.
Excellent.

Good Lord
These drops are going to figure prominently in this game’s postmortem. And that FG miss too.

That was…wow. Way to screw it up, Georgia. Entirely self-inflicted there. That could be enough to get the momentum swinging back LSU’s way.
by BrotherFlounder on Dec 3, 2011 4:36 PM EST up reply actions
You can't screw up like that against LSU and not expect to pay for it....
Take it from someone who knows.
I'm starting to think
We might see another defensive slugfest.
by BrotherFlounder on Dec 3, 2011 4:39 PM EST up reply actions
LSU's offense is so highly built around running the ball.
I’m not confident that they can win the game without a very good ypc number.

I’ll bet Wing has the discretion to take off there if it’s open. It very nearly was.

LSU's playing like they're already in the National Championship.

Honey Badger doesn't catch the ball
He doesn’t give a crap, he just sticks his nose in there, says nah, leaves, comes back, acts like he’s going to do something, doesn’t. But, really: two big punts for Georgia there.

If they think LSU is going to lay down or....
that they are simply going to dominate then they have not been watching much football this year.
Five 3 and Outs for LSU.
I really think they need to go with Lee, to be honest. Jefferson is 0-5 passing and isn’t running anywhere.

The block in the back that wasn’t called didn’t hurt
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I didn't see one
Though I wasn’t paying attention to replays. I thought the guy in the “wall” they were boasting about was from the side. Wrong?

On replay:
looks like it’s right on the shoulder/maybe back. I think it’s a good no-call, though. Was still from a weird angle I saw it.

But it wasn’t a touchdown. He tossed it before it went across.

But Vol fans care more about the spirit of the play than properly enforcing the rules?

Absolutely not.
Shouldn’t have been a touchdown, given the result on the field wasn’t a score. That, ultimately, is what I care about ;-)

I found it!
Around the 20 yard line. Obvious block-in-the-back is obvious.

Jefferson with a hold-your-breath moment.
While getting sacked tosses it to the halfback for a gain of 9.

6 three and outs for LSU to start the game.
Really, Lee needs to see the field next possession.

Yeah, but.
Zero first downs. Zero completions — unless that flip-thing was a pass and not a run. Zero runs.

Boom. Here comes the Boom. Braydy or not. Here comes the boy from the West.
7 straight three and outs by the LSU offense to start the game.
Are they even in positive yards once you factor in the offensive penalties?

Not real sure why hitting the kicker would be a personal foul?
He barely bumped him. Obviously wasn’t malicious.
It's if they think you meant to or not.
Ultimately.

Why wouldn't you play Jarret Lee?
Jefferson looks awful. No one in LA understands Les’s love affair with the guy.

Might as well give him a shot
Depends on whether or not UGA’s secondary can play him. If they get in his head….
Meh. Wanted the AL girl to win, bu then she did that weird, two handed chest pass thing.

Qualifier: Tennessee.
And that was more Tennessee players falling over themselves than Adams making great moves. It was very impressive, but left you more thinking “LOL VOLS” than “Holy Crap that dude.”

So Arkie was up 14-0 on LSU, lost 45-17.
Georgia was up 10-0, they’re now down 42-10. That’s impressive.

Les just admitted his team was looking ahead.
I guess Georgia’s lucky they weren’t focused.
