scpa0305 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Notre Dame wins with a 32 yd FG as time expires. LSU going for the fake FG at the end of the 1st half and not getting points comes back to haunt them although in fairness to Miles it sure looked like the runner got the ball to the goal line and should have been ruled a TD on the fake FG. Agreed. The blocked 22 yd FG also killed them. Their D didn't come to play today until the second half when it was a tad too late. I though Les attempted to use too much trickery. They should have closed out ND much earlier. Somewhat of an embarrassing loss for LSU. ND is better than their record however I thought LSU should have been able to win. In all fairness to ND, their lefty QB looked pretty good. Unpolished but good; much better then their typical starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree especially on the trickery I thought LSU should have got Fournette some more touches too believe he only had 11 carries and he is so dangerous every time he touches the ball.

MafiaMan Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I wonder how the Bayou Bengal faithful will react next season if Les Miles has another 4 or 5 loss year...he might be wishing he'd taken the job in Ann Arbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same think. The kid is a potential home run every time he touches the ball. Time of possession killed LSU. With their terrible QB play if they don't win in the trenches they're a long shot usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Georgia puts a smackdown on Louisville...3 point loss to South Carolina, 6 point loss to Georgia Tech...inexplicable 18 point loss to a bad Florida team...10-3 is a good record, but oh, what could have been for this year's Bulldogs.

You do mean "bad" in comparison to a normal FLA team, correct? They are not a bad college football team. They beat Georgia, barely lost to FSU, and barely lost to LSU. They weren't terrible...6-5 isn't bad. Just not very good considering the circumstances . No QB will do that to a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the 42-13 home beatdown at the hands of Missouri and the 42-21 thumping against the Crimson Tide. Absolutely no excuse for Georgia to give up 38 points to a team that attempted all of 3 passes in their first game after being shellacked by the Tigers. Georgia should have been better prepared for the game with Florida. Period. By comparison, was Michigan a decent 5-7 team because they hung tough with Ohio State for 3 quarters?

Maybe, but 5-7 is worse than 6-5 (and FLA has one game left). Plus FLA's schedule was nasty. Georgia is a very good team but they are not consistent whatsoever. One week they look awesome the next they look terrible. It is what it is. But I would be more worried about a Georgia team than any in the Big10, other than maybe OSU.

Outside of Florida State, their non-conference opponents were awful. As for Georgia, a 10-3 team certainly can't look terrible one week and awesome the next week, can it? 2014 Georgia Bulldogs schedule and results: Clemson 45-21 W @ South Carolina 38-35 L Troy 66-0 W Tennessee 35-32 W Vanderbilt 44-17 W @ Missouri 34-0 W @ Arkansas 45-32 W Florida (neutral site) 38-20 L @ Kentucky 63-31 W Auburn 34-7 W Charleston Southern 55-9 W Georgia Tech 30-24 L Belk Bowl: Louisville 37-14 W Pretty impressive, outside of the 3 hiccups. The South Carolina game I can see as the Gamecocks were coming off a home thrashing at the hands of Texas A&M and the Georgia Tech game can happen. The loss this season to the Gators was simply stunning to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 This ole miss qb is so Jekyll and Hyde. Some weeks he looks like a nice prospect, others he looks so bad. Unfortunately for ole miss this is not a good week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 5 in-common conference opponents (Vanderbilt, Kentucky, South Carolina, Missouri, and Tennessee). Were LSU and Alabama that much more difficult for Florida than Arkansas and Auburn were for Georgia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
