turbine, can u block this obvious lsu fan trolling
Also, Tim Couch played at Kentucky, not Arkansas.
I don't think we abandoned anything too early but rather, we were hit hard with sacks on about 3 series there that really pushed us back and stifled our momentum. To me, it seems like we threw more on the first few drives but we were hitting short throws and dinking up the field. I just think that they overwhelmed our Oline on a few consecutive series when we just dropped to pass.
If you have an O-line that is getting whipped on pass protection, and you are down sufficiently enough that you feel the need to keep throwing it, wouldn't you roll your QB out a few times to throw it instead of dropping him back continually making him a sitting duck? And, this is even more perplexing as our QB is very mobile thus making the roll out an effective ploy.
Freres, I have looked at the stats and drive charts for both teams, and have come to 1 conclusion (Cptn Obvious here): We beat ourselves... See the drive chart below.

Now the way I figure it, the missed field goal and the interception, cost us 14 points. The 2 drives with # were both in or on the verge of ARK territory, which were moving along until dropped passes and a !)$(*&%)#* fumble occurred. I look at those as 6 points. So far, that's 20 points and the difference in the game. Not to mention that ARK put up 7 points off turnovers and the ARK drive right before halftime....we had them at 3 and 9 at their own 5 yard line, they converted and got a field goal as time expired. That's 10 points. The other punts ^, show that as one of our esteemed posters put earlier, we abandoned the run too early. It cost us in the passing game. I feel that without the turnovers and 2 precise defensive stands, we'd have won this game by 10.....JMO...
There's no way to sugar coat our loss up there. They kicked our butts. The score is actually closer than the game was. Without any of the mishaps stated above, we still would have lost.
On to K state!!
Unlike last year, we don't seem to have the judgement on the long high jump passes....butler and Rob just misjudged the distance....last year we come down with these sometimes with one hand,,,,,,,
