LSU Football

The loss to Arkansas still hurts. Last game of the season, just have to run the table, Arkansas is in BR, McFadden has been cold lately, no problem.... Granted LSU didn't play the best game but in this case it seems it was play calling, not player performace. Flynn and Hester delivered some amazing numbers for them. But where was the multiback running game? Why was Flynn throwing 47 passes to begin with? The pass attack resulted in time of possession being heavily in Arkansas favor. So with that the defense was worn down by the Arkansas running attack. By the time the overtime started McFadden and crew were punching through the LSU line at will. And why would LSU call a passing play for the final 2 point conversion after Hester has delivered those everytime? Miles should have just gone for the 2 point conversion on the last regular time touchdown given what the Arkansas run totals and time of possesion looked like. Oh well, easy for me to second guess but to much was at stake to not focus on play calling to LSU's strengths.

3OTs and its done. No chance to get to a National Championship. What's worse is Ohio State will probably weasel their way back into it.

Will LSU win the SEC championship after such a defeat? Not sure, this was a huge loss.

Will Miles start talking to Michigan now? I wouldn't doubt it...

Some how 10-2 just isn't satisfying when it ends this way.
