Les Miles deserves some major credit for some of the calls he made. When he went for it on fourth down with the ball near midfield on that winning drive, that took balls. When he decided to forego an attempt at the tying field goal with the ball inside the 10, that took balls. He played to win and therefore, he deserved to win.

5/5 on fourth down, which is amazing. florida just didn't come out well in the second half, one score in half the game. but lsu certainly could have looked better first half, and dorsey was not as good as usual either.

that TD was a big play on a blown coverage.

yeah, i know. embarrassed the lsu d on that play, they looked like they didn't know whether to blitz, or hang back...so then a lukewarm, belated blitz and bam. touchdown gators.

it was a heck of a game. hubby was unhappy and yelling at the t.v. i told him if he wasn't really enjoying it that he should turn it off! i told him early on that lsu would win, don't worry. for some reason, i never got that concerned. it was a heck of a game.

but the best part? listening to these poor bastards on arkansas radio discussing how they could still win the sec west. ha!!!
