uh - I think the game Les Miles coined the phrase "Where opponents dreams come to die" was the Ole goldenshower game.  I have a screen shot of Trey Quinn in a Mosh pit with that saying on it and the score on my puter at work

 

possibly, but you’re missing the point of it all.

Good job guys. 
I made my drive back to Tx today. After a couple stops, the first, Bergerons in Port Allen. A little talk with the owner Moonie, picking up a number of items, along with a bag of Chicken Cracklings. 
Second stop, Billy’s Boudin, only to find out, they too are now doing the Chicken Cracklings. 
Made it back to Cypress. 
Won’t be here for long, got a nephew getting married in New Orleans next weekend. I’ve got to pick up 100 bottles of Tabasco, they want to give them out to guests in bags for folks attending the Wedding. Most folks will be coming in from Georgia. I’ll break out my LSU tie with a sport coat, just to let a few of the UGA fans get a flashback.

Behind the Box Score: Florida

How do you stop the perfect game?

Florida brought their A-game on Saturday night. Sure, it was irritating, but the other team is trying to win, too. Florida’s offense, which had looked barely competent all season, suddenly looked downright terrific. The GayTurds made big play after big play, and put together their best half of football all season.

Yet they were only tied 21-21 at the half. It must be frustrating to play literally your best half of football, and maybe as well as you can possibly play, and not even have the lead. But the GayTurds rectified that issue on the first drive of the second half and for the first time all season… LSU faced adversity. 

LSU responded with 21 consecutive points, and never allowed the GayTurds to score again. Not a bad response. It wasn’t a dominant game, but it was a dominant response to a team playing its near-perfect game. Let’s go the box score.

10.6. LSU’s average yards/play. That is off the charts great. LSU scored 42 points on a mere 48 plays. Joe Burrow averaged 12.2 yards per pass and the LSU running game averaged 9.1 per carry. That goes beyond efficiency. If 10+ yards is considered a big play, then LSU averaged a big play on every snap. That’s crazy.

457. Florida’s total yards. This was Florida’s second biggest offensive output of the season, behind the Tennessee-Martin game. The GayTurds ran 84 plays, averaging 5.44 yards per play, which is below the career average. So, LSU’s defense performed well on a rate basis, but it’s problem was the sheer number of plays allowed. That’s because…

38:19. Florida’s time of possession. Just as LSU sought to limit Utah St’s offense by keeping it off the field, Florida clearly wanted to do the same to LSU. Florida had five drives of over 10 plays and three drives which took over five minutes of game clock. This was great when the game was within a score, but in the end, the slow play cost Florida, as they couldn’t close the gap in the fourth quarter despite running 27 plays for 139 yards while eating 10 minutes of the fourth quarter’s clock. The result? Zero points.

9-17. Florida’s third down conversion rate. The way Florida was able to eat so much clock is because the GayTurds simply dominated 3rd downs. While LSU didn’t even have a third down in the second or third quarters, the GayTurds converted 4-7 1st half 3rd downs and then 4-7 again in the fourth quarter alone. This was a team that would not die, and these were not easy conversions. Florida converted 3rd downs of 6 and 5 yards to go on their first scoring drive, both in the red zone. They would again face two third downs in the red zone on their next scoring drive, of 2 and 1 yards to go, but only converted the first. Florida scored its second touchdown on fourth down, effectively making their 3rd down rate 10 of 17. The biggest conversion in the first half was 3rd and 6 from their own 29. JaCoby Stevens was flagged for PI, so instead of getting off the field and having a chance to go up two scores before the half, LSU instead gave up another long TD drive, and went to the half tied at 21.

But the conversions in the fourth could have been back-breaking:

3rd and 10 from the UF8

3rd and 12 from the UF27

Those conversions ended up leading to a third down failure… Derek Stingley’s interception in the end zone came on 3rd and 1 from the 16, and might have been the biggest play of the game.

3rd and 4 from the UF31

3rd and 16 from the UF31

Another two big conversions, both from their own side of the field. Instead, LSU would eventually stop the drive on downs with a goalline stand. Still, the third down defense was a massive issue.

13-134-2. Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s line. When your starting tailback clears 100 yards before the half and ends up averaging over 10 yards per carry, you’ve had a good night running the football. LSU didn’t run the ball a lot, but they absolutely gashed Florida when they did. 

4. LSU receivers with a catch. Joe Burrowhas spread the ball around all year, but when the chips were down, he want to his two big targets. Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase combined for 17 catches for 250 yards and 3 TD. Burrow was not playing Keep Everyone Happy. When this team has to score points, Burrow gets laser focused on his top threats.

0. Florida sacks. Much was made of Florida’s pass rush, and the GayTurds managed one measly TFL. K’Lavon Chaisson by himself outproduced the Florida pass rush, with 3 TFL and a sack. The GayTurds needed their defense to live up to the hype and… they couldn’t.

3. Pass breakups by CJ Henderson. Give some credit, he made plays. While some of the GayTurds defense might be some selective stat padding against bad teams, CJ Henderson showed to be the real deal. But here’s the thing, his 3 PBU were the only ones recorded by the GayTurds defense. Grant Delpit and JaCoby Stevens tied for the LSU lead with two apiece, but the entire team had 9 PBU plus Stingley’s interception. Kyle Trask may have gone for over 300 yards, but LSU did stake a decent claim back for the DBU moniker. Trask had an excellent night that could have been even greater had the LSU defensive backs not shown out.

Yea - we won't back down and we didn't with 21 unanswered points

Well not exactly lol. 

In 2017, after Tom Petty died, FU decided he was someone special to their university.  Apparently, he was at one point a groundskeeper at FU.  Seriously.  They acted as though he was some famous alum.  

Anyway, during the LSU-UF game, at the beginning of the 4th quarter, they decided to do a Tom Petty tribute.  But the LSU band had an itenerary that said it was time for them to play.  So they started playing right after "I won't back down" started playing over the house system.  PISSED THEM OFF!!  

So I just wanted to remind them of it. 🙂

LSU-Florida was ESPN's most-watched college football game in nearly two years, network says

The eyes of the college football world were upon Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.

ESPN announced LSU's 42-28 victory over Florida was viewed by an average of 6,450,000 viewers and peaked at 7,428,000 late in the fourth quarter. It was the network's most-watched college football game in nearly two years and ranks in the top five of ESPN's most-watched October games of the last 25 years.

Unsurprisingly, New Orleans was the top market with a local rating of 30.6. That means about 31% of the TV-equipped households in the metro area were tuned into the game. 

 

The next highest market was Birmingham, Alabama, at 27.6 and Jacksonville, Florida, at 17.4.
