Will you (not you, the author; just SDS as a whole) please climb out of Tim Tebow's a$$? I'm really tired of reading about him in this current-, SEC-, and football-oriented site.

After these two, I'd like to add Kliff Kingsbury. He'd bring a lot of young energy, good pedigree and history of quarterbacks trained under his tutelage (this is the most important part), and clearly isn't capable (yet) of putting together a whole package yet in terms of being a head coach. I argue we don't really need an OC, per se, but a quarterbacks coach - ergo Kingsbury - but he can do both if he wants. Orgeron locks down Louisiana and Kingsbury brings *some* of Texas that we were maybe hoping for from Herman.

My comment was calling out the article's author for saying that Hurts and Alabama in general were unfazed in this game, which is just not true.

My comment wasn't about which is more favorable. Yes, Alabama won. Yes, Alabama is a better team than LSU. But my comment was calling out the article's author for saying that Hurts and Alabama in general were unfazed in this game, which is just not true.

Kickoffs in Baton Rouge before noon central: - 2011 against Kentucky - 2008 against Appalachian State - 2006 against Mississippi State - 2004 against Mississippi State - 2002 against Mississippi State - 1997 against Ole Miss - 1996 against Mississippi State - 1995 against Florida

"No problem"? Compared to their season averages, Alabama... - scored 34 fewer points - passed for 87 fewer yards - rushed for 53 fewer yards - gained 7 fewer first downs - was penalized for 21 more yards - lost their non-offensive touchdown streak - and specifically Hurts had several, visible rookie-moment mistakes; wouldn't be surprised if he got 80-90% of his yards in the last 12 minutes of the game.

I completely understand and agree with the fact that there shouldn't have been a 10 second runoff. But Rule 3-4-4-c says "If there is no 10 second runoff, the game clock starts on the snap." Doesn't this mean that the last play should have been allowed?

In this context, yes, this is a terrible use of that rule. If, however, it was used to retroactively check an instant replay (instead of letting the offense rush to snap the ball before the officials can find their misdeed), I'd be 100% for it.

Does this mean LSU's going to have to wait 5 years to return to the championships? Given the 4-year plan we have going: 2003 championship in New Orleans, 2007 championship in New Orleans, 2011 championship in New Orleans, 2015 championship in Glendale...2020 championship in New Orleans?

Completely agree. I know LSU as a whole might not have looked definitively dominant, especially not in any whole game (both Syracuse and EMU played us way closer, at least in the first half, than everyone expected), but this year I feel like there's no team that's a clear front-runner -- all highly ranked teams have looked bad against inferior opponents and/or fall suspect to weak schedules.

Why does Florida's blue look purple in the picture!?

Has McElwain heard Fournette speak, like, ever? Does he not know how unbelievably humble he is?

Wasn't this the same combo we wore in 2004 against Tulane?

Both ESPN's Power Rankings and their FPI have LSU at #6, which I feel is more appropriate.

Ohio State struggled against Hawaii in the first half last week and against NIU all game this week. Someone explain to me how Michigan State's not #1? Oh right, pointless preseason rankings + the flawed logic of defending champ stays at the top until they lose. RE: SEC: I think these look pretty accurate.

What's the longest turnover-forcing FBS streak?
