Cocks/LSU

[symple19]

Like I said in the SEC thread, I still think USCe is too inconsistent to win out...Plus, it's in Baton Rouge, one of the hardest places to win on the road in college football

I'll take LSU

[Pelicans78]

I have a good feeling about LSU as well at home. It will be close. LSU has to run the football early and often. Also do some play-action of first down. Give Mett some easy passes to throw.

This figures to be a low scoring affair. I'm salivating to watch 3 of the best defensive ends in the country on the field at the same time (Mingo,Montgomery,Clowney)

Should be chippy and incredibly physical

I see another coma-inducing game on the horizon...9-6, LSU.

[BRHornet45]

sons I agree with the OP about South Carolina. although they did prove a lot of people wrong last week with Georgia, but I can just never buy into South Carolina being a legit title threat. even as awful as our offense has been, the defense has been solid.

LSU - 24
Cocks - 17

[Sisk]

Picking SCAR in this one. Rooting for LSU though... don't want a fucking 11AM game next weekend.

[BRHornet45]

well holy shit Miles is actually mixing the offensive play calling up. first time all season they have passed this much early on..... and look at what is happening.

[BRHornet45]

Jesus Christ Miles ... you were doing great mixing the plays up and marched all the way down the field. then you run the ball 3 straight times up the middle as EVERYONE expected ... then took a timeout only to run the ball up the middle again and get stopped at the goal line and now we're forced to go for it on 4th and goal.

[Sisk]

Those fans need to shut the fuck up when their team is on offense. Just fucked their own team there with that false start. Crowd was going nuts...

[Magua]

:lmaoLSU

:lol2 timeouts burned, only to gain -5 yds and settle for a fg

[BRHornet45]

well that was a winning drive for South Carolina. only gave up 3 points when LSU was doing anything they wanted until Miles decided to run the ball up the middle 4 straight times on the 5 yard line.

[BRHornet45]

:lmaoLSU

:lol2 timeouts burned, only to gain 1 yd and settle for a fg

LMAO son now you're a Bama fan? good Lord your a "Fan" of a new championship team every year.

[Magua]

The big question will be if Mettenberger can pass for as many yds the rest of the game as he did on that first drive.

[BRHornet45]

The big question will be if Mettenberger can pass for as many yds the rest of the game as he did on that first drive.

but son an even bigger question is who will be your favorite team by this time next season?

[symple19]

LSU moving the ball, but they need TD's and not FG's

edit: FG

damn

[Magua]

:lmao

[Magua]

This is essentially a 2-possession lead for South Carolina...LSU better hope for another D/ST miracle.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Clowney is an absolute freak. Holy hell.

[symple19]

Love watching him play. Some NFL team is going to be very, very happy

[Magua]

Even their co-mvp's--Wing and Alleman--are fucking up:lol

[Magua]

How long till BR starts complaining about the officiating?

[BRHornet45]

How long till BR starts complaining about the officiating?

easy for you to say considering your favorite teams depend on who wins the championship each year in every sport lolz

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Love watching him play. Some NFL team is going to be very, very happy
I can't remember a defensive prospect as hyped as he's gonna be in a year. It's gonna be funny seeing which team tanks the hardest for him.

[Magua]

Some stats to chew on:

1st downs: LSU-10, SC-4
Total yds: LSU-178, SC-69
TOP: LSU-18:11, SC-11:49


Score: SC-7, LSU-3:lol

[symple19]

Still think LSU will break through at some point, even if it has to be on special teams or defense. Cock offense is full of fail

[symple19]

LSU offensive line is dominating right now. They better get a TD here

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That was pretty pathetic by South Carolina to barely test LSU's passing game at all on that drive.

[symple19]

10 carries, 25 yards for Lattimore. LSU defense is incredibly good

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Every time I watch South Carolina, whoever their QB is always looks like total shit.

[BRHornet45]

LSU's line and D is going to wear em down. South Carolina is about to get knocked back to reality.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

God Miles' playcalling is attrocious. South Carolina is begging to get gashed by play action.

[symple19]

Every time I watch South Carolina, whoever their QB is always looks like total shit.

:lol he looked pretty good against that porous Georgia D last week. LSU tends to do that to QB's

You're probably thinking of that Garcia guy who was at USCe for 5 years (seemed like 50). But yeah, I would agree that overall, QB has been lackluster for the Cocks in recent memory. Bizarre considering who coaches them and what the ole' ball coach did at Florida

[symple19]

If LSU could ever find a good QB they would be the most devastating team in college football....by a long shot

Idk why they can't recruit a good one. They always have a beast offensive line, the defense makes it easy for a QB to win, and they've had great talent at receiver come through their program. It seems like it should be an easy sell.

The 2010 LSU team still strikes me as an epic waste of talent. Toliver, Randle, and Shepard was a great group of receivers with Ridley at RB and great O-line. Any QB not named Jordan Jefferson woulda made them a productive offense.

[symple19]

Helluva response from the Cocks

Very nice drive

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That'll get called back. Lets see SC fuck this up and settle for a FG.

I agree. I think you hit on a major component of their lack of success at QB earlier in this thread and that's playcalling. A better OC and I think you would see more success from them offensively

[symple19]

Latt time

[symple19]

:lmao

:lmao

[symple19]

God that place is loud. Looks like Shaw called an audible there and had to fucking run around so people would hear him :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol cute double team on Clowney

[symple19]

The scariest thing about Clowney is that he's only a soph and will add some bulk before he gets to the NFL. Doubt he'll lose that burst off the line, either

[BRHornet45]

sons its not an issue of QB's or players. its Miles plain and simple. he needs to let his offensive coordinator control the entire offensive game. Miles overrides way too many of his decisions. when it comes down to it ... Miles is a brilliant businessman. he knows how to put good people around him to make him look good. but when it comes down to play calling and making split decisions on the field, he is very below average.

[symple19]

I'll never understand why people don't like watching defense's like this (most, anyway)

There are a shitload of future NFLers on the field in this game

son the same reason why intelligent sports like soccer is not popular in the U.S. and why baseball is behind football and basketball .... most Americans have an attention span of a 5 year old. they need constant action/scoring or else they lose interest.

That's fair, but I still really like Miles despite his shortcomings (offensively). It's so fucking hard to achieve the level of consistency he has, and really nobody outside of Saban has done it in the last 5 years. I'm also not one to knock on his gambling style, which is one of the reasons I loved Tuberville so much

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol why is LSU running at Clowney at all? It's like an automatic 1st down when they run at the other side.

[symple19]

LOL @ Herbstreit mentioning Auburn and UT in the same sentence when discussing coaching :lmao

God I hope the fire Chizz soon

[symple19]

son I have met Miles twice and off the field he seems to be a great guy. much nicer and a better quality person than Nick Saban ever was when he was here (in my experience). I'm judging Miles on his coaching and I have never been a fan. I've tried my best and I do support him, but he makes it extremely difficult.

[symple19]

MSU doing it to Tennessee.

They should take another leap in the rankings if they hold on.

[BRHornet45]

son MSU should be a top 10 team right now. they could very well be the second best team in the SEC. for sure in the top four.

I hear ya, it's just very difficult to not appreciate a guy like miles when you're watching Cheezit squander top 10 talent. I've liked him ever since he was at Okie St. He also scored big points with me when he stayed loyal to LSU even when his Alma Mater had an open spot. Dude knows his business, even if he's a control freak.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It's also easy for Miles to stay pretty good when the only recruiting he has to do is go to every local high school in Louisiana with a sack of bananas having the players fight for them and then recruiting whichever chimps come away with the most bananas knowing that LSU is their first choice.

[BRHornet45]

He also scored big points with me when he stayed loyal to LSU even when his Alma Mater had an open spot..

and honestly even I sometimes regret hating on him at times just for that reason. however in fairness, at the time that job was open LSU had won 2 National Titles in what? 4 years ... so regardless of the history of Michigan ... LSU was the better team/program to be apart of and has been for the last 5+ years now.

:lmao

To be fair, one of the reasons MSU and Old Mrs stay bad is because he and Saban rape the state of Mississippi. Miles also dips into Texas and south Alabama as well. Dude can coach, but I have to agree with BR that he needs to hire a better OC and let go of the reigns

[symple19]

MSU in the past, that is (pre-Mullen)

[symple19]

And LSU>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Michigan all day L day. Still, some guys would run back to their school regardless

[symple19]

Cock receivers have bricks for hands.

[BRHornet45]

come on stop em here

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao:lmao:lmao wow what an awful throw

[symple19]

There goes another future NFL player. (Reid)

:lol Shaw

Fail

[BRHornet45]

there we go. this defense is still the truth .... even with the fluke 22 points they gave up to Towson High School

[symple19]

USCe defense is starting to wear down, imo. Just run it miles

[BRHornet45]

Goddamnit Miles! same shit just run it up the middle every single time. piss on a field goal right now. there is still 7min left in this game and LSU only has 1 timeout. way too much time left to be playing this conservative.

[BRHornet45]

now all South Carolina has to do is take their time with their plays and run the clock. all they need is a field goal to take the lead and LSU only has 1 timeout.

why not at least ATTEMPT to pass the ball into the end zone Miles??? motherfucker

[BRHornet45]

LSU Offense = Red
LSU Defense = Black

Miles just walked up to the roulette table and put his house on black.

[symple19]

Ballgame. LSU showing why they're still a top 5 team.

Also, I'm looking to go 100% on my SEC picks this week :smokin

[Pelicans78]

LSU's clearly better. If their QB wasn't such an asshole, this game would have been a laugher. Mett is terrible.

[symple19]

son its just message board smack talk. no harm done.

[symple19]

Mett's problem is he can't feel pressure. Playcalling doesn't help him out either. I will say he could do better on playaction, but I would lay more blame with Coaches than anyone else

[Pelicans78]

He has alot of issues. He stares at his receivers too long, he's got a really slow release, makes late decisions, poor accuracy, etc. I do agree they should play-action on 1st down alot more, especially in the red zone.

[symple19]

Mingo + Montgomery + Clowney 3 top 5 picks in the same game. Ridiculous

[symple19]

Wow...This shows exactly why Spurrier should have Shaw in the shotgun a lot more often. Ballsy drive

[symple19]

No touchdown

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Mussberger is such a fuckin idiot.

"If that elbow is down, it's gonna be LSU ball!"

No it's not you senile sack of shit, he converted the 4th regardless.

[symple19]

good call. Why doesn't the NFL adopt the college way of reviewing plays?

[symple19]

Mussberger is such a fuckin idiot.

"If that elbow is down, it's gonna be LSU ball!"

No it's not you fuckin idiot, he converted the 4th regardless.

Mussberger is the worst play-by-play guy in the history of football

I love Herbstreit, he deserves so much better.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Game isn't completely over. Lets see how unimaginative and uncreative Miles is with these running plays.

[symple19]

Game.. Honestly, USCe shouldn't drop much after this loss. LSU outplayed em', but they are certainly worthy of a top 10 ranking. This also shows how far Florida has come. Top 4 of the SEC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everyone else by a long shot

[symple19]

Game isn't completely over. Lets see how unimaginative and uncreative Miles is with these running plays.

shit, you may be right

[Avante]

23-21 tells me if this game had been played in So Carolina the Gamecocks win it.

That's if LSU hangs on, if you have to "hang on"...hmmm?

[Pelicans78]

They still have some time. I don't blame LSU for running it to force their timeouts, but they have time now. All they need is a FG.

[BRHornet45]

up the middle! up the middle! up the middle! up the middle! up the middle! up the middle! up the middle!

Miles you goddamn fool!

[Pelicans78]

23-21 tells me if this game had been played in So Carolina the Gamecocks win it.

Probably so, but LSU has a superior team other than the QB who flat out sucks.

[BRHornet45]

now all South Carolina needs is one good play to get a field goal opportunity. Miles deserves to lose for playing so conservatively in the last quarter

[Pelicans78]

LOL, Shaw was an idiot on that series.

I don't blame LSU for running it. They had to make them burn their timeouts that late in the game.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Why do QBs ever check down in that situation. Just throw the ball out of bounds. You're trading 10-15 seconds for 3-4 yards which isn't exactly ideal.

[symple19]

Better team wonPeriod

[Pelicans78]

Why do QBs ever check down in that situation. Just throw the ball out of bounds. You're trading 10-15 seconds for 3-4 yards which isn't exactly ideal.

I agree. That pass on first down was just retarded.
