Official SEC Football Thread 2009

[Powers]

Three consecutive national titles (Florida 06, LSU 07, Florida 08)

Two teams pre-season top 5

Five teams in pre-season top 25

Thats not all to brag about!!! Say what you want about pagentry in other conferences, but it's a fact that football is lived and breathed in the South. And no where more than in the states that make up the Southeastern Conference. From The Grove at Ole Miss, Baton Rogue for a night game, Rammer Jammer in Tuscaloosa, Rocky Top in the hills of Tennessee or Mr. Two Bits down in Gainesville, SEC football is a way of life!!!

Tradition, passion, and winning is what the SEC is all about!! :banger

I haven't been to the Grove in 10 years for an Ole Miss game, but I remember all the games I went to like they were yesterday. Just hoping they can live up their expectations. I think they will come close.

They have all 11 defensive starters coming back, so look for them to "suck" again this year. ;)

War Eagle here, I dont care how the season goes, as long as I get to see some good games in the SEC. Nothing else like this conference.

[McSmokey]

word as of this morning on Deadrick is he is in good condition at the hospital took a bullet in the arm last night Saban hasn't said anything yet that i know of

[OLS]

Three consecutive national titles (Florida 06, LSU 07, Florida 08)

Thanks for including us in that...I thought this was going to be a glorified Florida Love-in.
And to be fair - well....you DID say consecutive. My bad. LSU in '03!
I am looking forward to the season, going to watch Ole Miss versus Memphis this weekend.
Seems no one on the Memphis side is all that excited about a top program coming in to the
Liberty Bowl. This town is a bunch of sports fags. So I get a ticket pretty easy this time.
I think the whole Calipari thing has soured the "fans" in this town.

[OLS]

One SURE way to have an undefeated season...start with Charleston Southern! Geaux Gators. :confused:

Didn't know you were an LSU fan...but then why would I have known that anyway? Welcome to the discussion, we need a little more to balance out the gator love in here. Can't wait till our game in T-town this year. It's gonna be a slobber-knocker for the ages.

They are expecting him to get released from the hospital today so thats a very good sign.

yeah bro! i had such a good time traveling/attending the UF vs. LSU game two years ago in Baton Rogue that i'm going back this year! The LSU fans were awesome, hooked us up w/food and :chrbeer:chr before the game

[Poe]

The LSU fans were awesome, hooked us up w/food and :chrbeer:chr before the game

:tpd:

While I hate the stadium itself ;s, LSU has some of if not the best game day food anywhere. Not sure I can call thier fans awesome though for the sheer fact that they burned effigies of our coach the night before the game last year :rolleyes: Of course I'm sure many of you think that is exactly what makes them awesome.

btw i'll take u up on ur bet that the gators beat LSU.....the only why we play Ole Miss this year though is if we both make it to Atlanta, and Ole Miss will not

Yeah, I didn't think they meant FAT rolls. :D;s
I also do not think they meant toilet paper rolls, but that gets equal play.

:r:r

btw i'll take u up on ur bet that the gators beat LSU.....the only why we play Ole Miss this year though is if we both make it to Atlanta, and Ole Miss will not Well, let's not get hasty....you are right that I did not think about the schedules
when I made the scenario up. AND if Ole Miss emerges from the west and NOT the Tigers
I will be some depressed. BUT I like the Tigers odds against the Gators.
Talk in Memphis and I am sure SEC wide is that the Gators don't lose a game.
BUT for me to swallow that, I also have to swallow all these homer-type comments about how
LSU loses to this team and that team, and they were all wrong the year we clawed and miracled
and scammed our way into the championship, and I hope they are wrong again this season.
But good, we are a bet.
I guess we are talking a fiver of cigars, not worthless American currency, right?

Dangit. I need to get cable. I have not had cable for ten years or more.
I have not had internet at home for 4 years. Ahh, the peace and quiet.
Unfortunately, I also miss alot of LSU and Saints. But cable these days is just
a robbery. Dumped ATT for the same reason. No matter how you pare down the services,
it always managed to come out to 50 bucks.
And I don't like people to call me, anyway. No brainer on the landline.
Nowadays, I have what's I call 'poor-man's cable'. It is a HDTV with 3 different
channels of HD PBS, all tuned through rabbit ears.

[Clampdown]

he could be refering to Kentucky.....but its not basketball season ;)

Three bowl wins in a row, (Beating Clemson, FSU, ECU). And Tom, the real Big Blue plays in a real conference, the SEC.

Yeah it was a good game. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting a win, but I was hoping it would be close enough to be entertaining. Looked like an even match until the last 5-10 min of the game.

Gotta say I like to see teams with enough balls for a challenging season opener instead of playing a cupcake high school team like Charleston Southern ;)

On another note, I'd like to know who decided Atlanta was a 'neutral site' and 'home game' for VT. Tuscaloosa -> Atlanta = 200 mi, Blacksburg -> Atlanta = 400 mi. Someone needs to read a map next time.

Not a great game for Ole Miss today. They play like that against an SEC opponent and it's game over early.

Very good game! We had a really good time at the game, and my seats were over in the VT section. All but 1 of the VT fans around me were nice. The game was close and really fun to watch.

As far as the closeness I can see whatcha mean. it is a bit closer, but since its in the heart of Bulldog country, they see it as a neutral site. Not a lot of GA residents are going to be bama fans. ;)

[Tidefan73]

Better jump ship while ya can before that band wagon runs into a wall tonight :D
I'm sorry, I can't hear you...Mark Ingram was making too much noise blowing up your 'great' defense.

Roll Tide!!!

[Poe]

I've finally recovered enough from the game to post an RTR.

Was a great game and most of the VT fans i talked with were really classy.

While i'm not saying we go 12-0 again (that takes luck even with the best team) I think our team is better this year than it was last. Its also much deeper at all but a few positions (unfortunatly QB is one of them).

Great weekend for the SEC as a whole with UGA being the only black eye, and it was a game they were suppose to lose.

[Powers]

Ole Miss was dissapointing, won big but too many turnovers. I don't think they can live up to expectations, they have never been there before and Houston Nut is an overrated coach (talk to Arkansas fans).......Bama looks like the best in the West right now

[tedrodgerscpa]

My eyes will be peeled on Chapin High's JV Football game tonight... I'm a big fan of the weak-side tackle and weak-side linebacker.

So how'd they do Ted?



They destroyed Brookland Cayce!

Lil'RodgersCPA did a great job holding up the weak-side tackle, gave up zero sacks, and only missed one block (which still yielded positive yards on the run)

You Think Fl. will show some mercy and back off?:r

[Poe]

So, who's got some score predictions for the FL-TN game this weekend?

[Clampdown]

It was nice to see UT loose.

As far as the UT vs UF game, this could get ugly VERY quick.

[Poe]

It was nice to see UT loose.

As far as the UT vs UF game, this could get ugly VERY quick.

I agree it could get ugly very quick, and I've been expecting it too for months now. But the more I try to look at it objectively, which is hard, the less I think Florida can truly blow them out like most people are thinking. I have no doubts that Florida's D can shut down TN's offense but I'm not sure Florida's Offense can hang as many points on TN's D as people say. TN has a very good defense and while I don't think they can shut Florida down by no means I could see them holding them 30 something while maybe getting a score off a turnover too. Florida wins but I could see it being a 35-17 type game rather than a true Florida style thumping. Hope I'm wrong though :)

[OLS]

It was nice to see UT loose.

Boy, you ain't lyin'. I had been chuckling for a week when all the TN pundits were saying "It looks like
Jonathan Crompton has finally matured and become what TN recruiters thought he should be."
This after he managed not to lose against our schedule's version of Charleston Southern.
I say "OUR"...I couldn't care less about UT football, I am a LSU fan. Alot of those Orange
clad people were actually thinking UT was going to beat UCLA. I just had to chuckle quietly to myself.
On the other hand, I am liking that Jordan Jefferson from LSU. Big tall kid.
He played for our arch rivals across the river from my hometown. It's funny how rivalries go.
You had to wait on the ferry for half an hour and MAYBE you'd be one of the 30 cars to get
across the Mississippi on a load, and MAYBE you'd get to the game on time. After that hassle,
you wanted to KILL the opposition, lol. I am still liking LSU's chances against the Gators. ;)

[OLS]

Florida wins but I could see it being a 35-17 type game rather than a true Florida style thumping. Hope I'm wrong though :)
Once FL runs out of division 2A schools to thump, they are going to have a hard time
hanging big numbers on anybody. 'Ceptin TN.

[OLS]

Bama looks like the best in the West right now
U love being wrong, don't you, lol. :r
Seriously. I am going to stop harassing you about that, but between you and
the local sports media dismissing LSU, I stay pretty riled up. QUIET, but riled.
I do not call in to the sports radio stations when they dismiss the Tigers. I DO
call up when they are wrong at the end of the year and remind them that
I emailed them weekly to admonish them. But what do they know, they are in
Memphis, not in LA. Still, Gotta love SEC ball.

LSU has way too much talent to be dismissed. But Bama has done alot more this year so far to make a claim for Best in the West. LSU won't get a chance to make a statment till week 5 or 6. I think LSU is a good team but TO THIS POINT they have done nothing to say they are a top 10 team.

The west is a really difficult division to call this year, other than Bama at the top RIGHT NOW I could rank the next 4 in any order until they start playing each other (sorry any Miss St fans but your at the bottom ;s)

So, who's got some score predictions for the FL-TN game this weekend?

52-13 UF

several reasons why the Gators are gonna stomp em.

1.) The last time UF was fired up was the Fl-GA game last year because the shenanegans they pulled in the end zone the year before. UT this year is not anywhere near the team georgia was last year offensively or defensively and UF destroyed georgia :). yes no percy harvin this year but with demps and rainey there's still enough speed to fill an olympic relay team.

2.) Again going with the example of georgia. If the gators could kill a team coached by the good and talented coach like mark richt, we will destroy a team without as much talent and coached by a rookie who is at the very least unproven

3.) the words of lane kiffen (or as UF students say "lame kitten") have been displayed in the UF locker room and workout room since he was hired

4.) ITS IN THE SWAMP!!!!! of course the players are amped up for the game but so are all 90,000 + screaming gator fans who will make the UT offense's ears bleed

watch out UT.....its coming in dry and at an angle :dr

Nicely put. I'm going, eh, 42-20 Gators. I think we're going to come out wanting to prove ourselves against the first SEC opponent of the season, and the D really will shut 'em down and force field goals and turnovers. Also, Tebow + James + Demps + Rainey + Moody etc... who wants to talk about a high-power offense? :bx There's an ass-whooping to be handed out in the Swamp this week. :bx

Oh, man, the raido pundits here in Memphis are going off the wall. Some are predicting the ultimate beat down.
For those of you who do not know, Lane Kiffen has accused Urban Meyer of cheating. And I think all coaches cheat.
But the beating Urban has reserved for that little punk Lane Kiffen is going to be epic. I think the line is 28 today,
but there are people who seem to think FLA will score in the high 70s in this one. They are forgetting TN's defense
to some extent, but it will be BAD. This morning they asked callers to describe the epic-cicity of the beatdown,
and I described it as the sound of the old pinball machines when you would hit a free game, that loud CRACK,
preceded by the constant ringing of bells. They may even get the scoreboard to read 02 or something as it goes over 100.

Not to give FL too much props, as you know, LSU is going to whip em. But for now, I think they are strong enough to beat TN.
They could probably beat them from outside the stadium.

Week 3 notable matchups:

Georgia at Arkansas
Poor Georgia...how the mighty have fallen so soon. I think they
will eventually right the ship, but that was tough to watch two weeks ago.
And a week ago. I can tell you as someone who hears alot more Arkansas
news than most, they are looking in prime form and are extremely talented.

[OLS]

52-13 UF

yes no percy harvin this year but with demps and rainey there's still enough speed to fill an olympic relay team.

I need to pick this apart a bit and also support it. 52-13 is not unreasonable at all, in fact it's about the best I have
seen so far. I am thinking over 60, but for arguments sake, you are probably right.
Percy Harvin being gone is TOUGH to come back from, but Demps is a super-stud. I COULD say speed is nothing,
look at Trindon Holliday, who is probably faster than anyone FLA can field, BUT is not really a great football player.
Demps is special. He is fast and smart and quick and ruthless and tough. Watching him block those punts last year
was a revelation. Rainey I do not know cause I do not follow FLA football. But I can say this. This game is going
to be more fun to watch than a good game. And lately, that's more of what I want, anyway. I am sick of watching
ineptitude on the field. This has been a really No-fun start to the season. Except for ND-Mich last week.
THAT was football.

How do you quote me and then say that? You are right that it is early to count out UGA, but if you read what I wrote,
I said they will eventually right the ship. I give them credit for scoring a ton of points, too, but 90-sumpin' points just
shows me that both defenses had better buckle down or it is going to be a long year. It looks like the gators need to
stop reading their own press, too. :D But a Richt coached team is never gonna lay down.

Haha, you were right! I was trippin out when they lost the other day, I am a

My loyalties are as follows 100% LSU. If LSU is off, or is not on TV, I follow Alabama.
If they are not on I will watch and enjoy UGA. I like Mark Richt, but thought his team
must not have been prepared properly which I blame on Richt for the most part.
But getting a team rady for week ONE is tough. You never know how hard the hitting will be,
if your physical preparation will be sufficient, etc. I had confidence in them to re-group.

Congratulations to all my podnas' from the Low Country and the high country
on their major league embarassment of those rebels south of the border.
I am no Ole' Miss Fan, nor no UMemphis fan, but it still gets under my skin
when rebel fans call UMemphis "Tiger High" It's a kind of arrogance which
when mixed with the already standing perception of racism that I associate
with the Ole' Money crew there, makes for a real deep dislike for Ole Miss. Plus I am for LSU. :)
When I got up this morning and put out the trash and started up the truck,
I heard the radio sports jocks talking as if Miss had lost. I was giddy. It
really makes my season. Peripherally, I was happy for them being ranked so
high, it brings respect to the league and to the area. Mississippi is a nice
place, too. Very well insulated from over-development. I lived more than
half my life there, too.

But before I ramble,
"Go to Hell, Ole' Miss", GEAUX TIGERS !

And well, would you looka there....Ole Miss goes DOWN, lol.

A moment of silence please. Houston Nutt is a classic case of a coach who
regularly outhinks himself. When you have the weapons Ole Miss has, you RUN
until SC shows they can stop it, THEN you mix run and pass to keep
them on their heels. Or, you could no what Nutt did and waste some of the
finest players in the SEC. McCluster only gets used on third downs? Are
you kidding me?

Ole Miss was horribly overrated (not their fault necessarily), they should have been somewhere around 8-15, not #4. It was a fun game to watch, I don't mind seeing Nutt lose, I do wish Snead had played a bit better though

Personally, I think 8-15 would have been kinda high. And that was just an awful game last night. It was like watching a couple of cripples fight, no disrepect to any of our crippled brothers intended. South Carolina looks to me to be another awful South Carolina team, sorry Joey, and Ole Miss looked like a team that had not been tested at all and had no clue what they were doing. Just a really poorly played game from both sides.

I love my Rebels, but they were waaaaay over rated. That ranking was entirely based on how they ended last year, they had easy games at the start of the season, and that several teams ahead of them lost games early. Typical Ole Miss team with a bunch of hype.

[Poe]

little worried about my gators at kentucky this week.

a classic road trap game between two anticipated games, Tennessee and LSU

Being that their 10 point win over TN is viewed as a major let down I don't think this one really is a trap game. IMO they'll take some anger out on an improved Kentucky team this year. Only way I see it being close is if the flu is really hitting FL as bad as some are saying.

[Poe]

FYI for anyone else going to the Bama vs Arkansas game tomorrow. One of the major parking spots on campus is closed due to the rain (grass lot). I'd recommend getting there earlier than normal or be prepared to walk a long way.

Not so Fast my friend! South Carolina is going to play Bama tough. And Bama still has to play a fired up Ole Miss team. I think 90% of people would say that the thursday night game was not "poorly played on both sides of the ball" Alabamas offense isn't as good as everyone thinks. They won't see speed like South Carolina has..Oh and by the way Who has bama played besides Va Tech. South Carolina has two ranked opponents. Played a very tough Georgia Team down to the wire.

I think Bama is a really good team. Don't get me wrong, but they are going to face two really tough road games before SC comes to town. Ole Miss knows that their only shot and winning the West they need to beat Bama. I don't think Jevan Sneed is going to have two bad games like that in a row, I think Ole Miss will be better prepared, and more focused for this show down.

I am also not really sold on Bamas offense. They are above average yes, but they aren't as dominant in the run game as they have in the past. Plus they will play a tough defense in Ole Miss. Besides UF, I would have to say SCAR has one of the fastest defenses in the SEC. If they can play opportunistic defense, and create some turnovers and pressure the QB. It will be a battle.

Bamas Defense is solid for sure. but They have some depth questions, and I think your going to see South Carolina keep an uptempo very balanced attack. Garcia will be dangerous against them because of his escapeability. Also look for mismatches in size on the outside with Gurly, and Saunders.

I think Bama is a really good team. Don't get me wrong, but they are going to face two really tough road games before SC comes to town. Ole Miss knows that their only shot and winning the West they need to beat Bama. I don't think Jevan Sneed is going to have two bad games like that in a row, I think Ole Miss will be better prepared, and more focused for this show down.

I am also not really sold on Bamas offense. They are above average yes, but they aren't as dominant in the run game as they have in the past. Plus they will play a tough defense in Ole Miss. Besides UF, I would have to say SCAR has one of the fastest defenses in the SEC. If they can play opportunistic defense, and create some turnovers and pressure the QB. It will be a battle.

Bamas Defense is solid for sure. but They have some depth questions, and I think your going to see South Carolina keep an uptempo very balanced attack. Garcia will be dangerous against them because of his escapeability. Also look for mismatches in size on the outside with Gurly, and Saunders.

TOTAL YARDS THROUGH FOUR GAMES:

............2008.....2009
Passing: 603......1028
Rushing: 947......937

I will agree that looks can be deceiving, but actually our rushing output is almost identical to last year at this point. It's just not as easy to do after losing Smith and Caldwell to the draft. But there might be a slight difference in passing yardage, not sure.:) McElroy is ranked third in the nation in pass efficiency after 4 games.

Defensively...not much to say there. Mallet went from being ranked #1 to #30 after he faced us. Ranked #2 nationally in Total Defense. Quite honestly I'm not worried about Garcia. Heck, Spurrier might have him benched by the time our game rolls around.

Either way, I look forward to the game, as I do all SEC games. You know what they say about any given Saturday.

Unlike the past few years Bama actually has a very deep defense this year. We have backup linebackers and defensive lineman that would start at a lot of SEC schools this year. Losing Donta Hightower (our most versatile defense player) will hurt, but we have people available to step in. Its also more than solid, Its IMO the best in the country so far this year (currently ranked 2nd in total defense), if not the best then top 3 for sure. Ryan Mallet had over 400 yards passing against Georgia (Garcia had 313 against the same GA team) and we held him to 160 yards passing (while only giving up 63 total on the ground).

As far as the offense go, I've heard several national sports commentators call us the most balanced offense in the country so far this year (I'm not sure I agree, but we are up there). Greg McElroy is the 3rd most efficient QB in the nation so far. He is also doing it by involving multiple people. Last year we threw to 2 or 3 people only, this year we'll have 10 people involved in the passing game each year. With the running game we have 3 top notch backs in Ingram, Upchurch and Trent Richardson. Our 4th string back, Terry Grant, was our starting back a few years ago. The Oline has performed good up to this point as well. We are 10th in the country in rushing offense and 8th in total offense. Now we've had 2 easy cupcake games (as have most teams) but we've also played a top 10 team also unlike any of the offenses ranked ahead of us.

I am glad to see SC doing good this year (have a couple of friends that went there). They have a good pass rush and Spurrier will use the fact that we scheduled them for homecoming to get his players fired up. Anything CAN happen but Bama SHOULD win the game without too much trouble and I'd expect us to be 14pt or so favorites going in (I expect a bit closer game though, maybe pulling away late). You guys should be 5-1 coming in to Tuscaloosa though and I expect for you guys to be ranked by then so it should be a big game. If it wasn't for Oklahoma vs Texas being that same week it would even have a shot at ESPN Game Day.

While i perfer Saban (obviously :)) Its hard to argue this, undefeated season at Utah, 2 Championships in the last 3 years at Florida. Only way I could give it to someone else is if Carroll or Saban picked up another championship this year (Carroll would then have 3 (though 1 is split), and Saban would then have 1 at 2 different places). Of course it just as if not more likely that Meyer picks up his 3rd, so at this point you have to give it to him imo.

[DavenportESQ]

I guess we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. And I will take 14 points and Carolina Anyday of the week

yeah, Bama started slow but ya'll are whoopin' em now :bx

Where all my GGainey's at? This should make for an interesting afternoon.
LSU QB already with one bonehead throw in the endzone. But at least the GA player was as equally
bonehead and ran it out...to the 2. LSU driving.

DOH.

I had a family reunion. I am watching now. Surprised it is only 6-0.

i'm gonna be quite pissed if LSU doesn't take care of business so we can have a top 5 match-up next week.

C'mon Tigers!!!

[G G]

Georgia is knockin.

[G G]

7 to 6 Georgia.

[Powers]

Gotta give the devil his due, Cox has had a heck of a turnaround thus far in the second half.

But LSU is driving!!!!

[OLS]

Well, Power, you got your wish. AND you got a heck of a head start on the flu, as it's already ripped thru UF.
From the looks of things, I will have anexcuse to wield when we get drubbed next week.
Not since Drew Pearson vomited gatorade in the endzone after a 90 yard TD catch and run
on Monday night football back in about 1979 has there been so much barfing up liquid in a ball game
I was watching. I don't see how we can hardly win next week, but Death Valley at night is already
a HELL of an advantage, and maybe God's other son will still be groggy from his concussion.
Still a toss up in my eyes.

Death Valley at night def an advantage, i was there two years ago. it was unbelievable.

LSU is dangerous but if Jefferson played the way he did today against UF next week, u'll be lucky to score 10 points. The way i see it right now, Jefferson costs LSU the game next week and the Gators win by 14.

Its gonna be a great game!

I Don't see LSU winning that game if Tebow is healthy. On The other hand, if He doesn't play, it's a toss up.

[Mark C]

Great finish for LSU, glad I tuned in for that. I'd love to see 'em whip Florida, but if Tebow is healthy I think they've got an uphill battle.

[icehog3]

Those celebration calls in the LSU/Georgia game were awful! Guess the guys should just slink off the field after a touchdown. :rolleyes:

#2 worst rule in NCAA in my opinion (ok in theory, awful in execution).

For the record, #1 is the 15 yd penalty for pass interference, instead of spot of the foul.

[macpappy]

Hopefully Florida will be careful with Tebow. Concussions aren't something you can usually recover from in just two weeks. If he suffers another one it could jeopardize his professional football career and I think he could be an exciting pro quarterback (Just so he plays someplace other than the NFC South).

[OLS]

Guess the guys should just slink off the field after a touchdown. :rolleyes:
I have to admit that I LIKE a reduction in the Me, Me, Me celebrations of modern football players. IF I was
playing today, I would impress people with my lack of celebration as I walked back to the huddle. EVERYONE
in the stadium knows you did well, call me a sucker for an understater. That said, the celebrations that were
flagged were NOTHING. The ones I hate are the QB sacks or tackles near or behind the line where they flex out
and stomp and tromp around WASTING valuable energy that the TEAM needs for success. I call that selfish.

[OLS]

INDEED. Research shows that a MONTH is not to much, and maybe even too little.
I would like Tebow to be out so LSU can win and get on an even footing for the Championship with FL, even though a
victory under those circumstances would be hollow. Nonetheless, LSU's talent is on par with FL's, it is just being improperly
showcased, and it is more immature. Better line blocking from a massive O-line would go a long way, as would a little more
time in the film room for the DBs. But I think FL could survive a loss and advance to the Champ game, where LSU could not.
So call me selfish, lol.

I agree with you, both about hating the outlandish celebrations for simple plays, and that the plays flagged in the game yesterday were nothing like that. :tu

[Powers]

I would like Tebow to be out so LSU can win

in the words of Lee Corso, not so fast my friend:)

Tebow's back up, John Brantley, is a dang good quarterback. He's got a cannon, throws a beautiful ball and can run a little if need be. Brantley's no Tebow runner for sure but he's better than Chris Leak.

I still think FL is favored to win, albeit only by like 3, if Brantley starts. The key would be our receiving corp.

:banger

[McSmokey]

I believe FL will win it mainly because you can't show up late against an offense like theirs you will be too far behind

[OLS]

Pretty good observation. A slow start by LSU won't be enough to get the job done. BUT, I am having fun right now, because every mouth on the air is
dogging LSU as about to fall, about to be exposed etc. Don't they remember
that for the last 8 years, LSU has done only enough to get the job done?
LSU 28-FLA 24:D
