LSU VS. Arkansas

Knew I should've bought tickets for this game
|

Why oh why didn't I buy tickets for what was by far the best contested SEC
game of the year between LSU and Arkansas. LSU finishing out the hardest
road schedule I can remember and Arkansas trying to ride a winning streak to
10 games into the SEC championship game and possibly a national championship
game. Hard hitting, non stop action and the game was over before I could sit
down once with the LSU Tigers beating a team that looked like they would not
be denied.
Arkansas Running Game
Oh my God what do you say about Darren McFadden and Felix Jones that hasn't
been said before? Blinding speed and plays that would normally seem to be
"trick" plays just work fine in their offense. These guys racked up over 300
yards against the number one defense in the country. Not to mention McFadden
lead their team in passin? They marched down the field immediately as the
game started and scored like they were playing the worst defense in the
country instead of the first leaving Tiger fans dismayed at what was
happening. When McFadden broke that 80 yard run my heart about dropped out
and I felt like we were losing the game until....
LSU Special Teams
Before we can even get ready for the next drive Trindon Holiday bolts down
the sideline for a 92 yard kick return nearly erasing from everyone's minds
what McFadden had just done. This guy is unbelievable! He's 5'5", 160 lbs
and so fast that its near impossible to touch him. LSU can definitely look
to do huge things with Trindon's future.

LSU's junior quarterback made it happen this time making no mentionable
mistakes and some huge plays to help the Tigers to victory. That heads up
flick of the ball to Justin Vincent was absolutely beautiful. His accuracy
was great and it showed with his stats.
Thanks Arkansas
That was a hell of a game. Watching the Wildcat offense played so
beautifully was the most exciting thing I've done all football season.
Thanks LSU and Les Miles
Back to back 10 win seasons!! First time in school history and they did it
in a season where you're playing 4 top 10 programs on the road. After the
loss to Florida some of our fans were once again senselessly screaming for
Les Miles to be fired and they should feel serious shame right now. As I
said about
firing Les
Miles before, its just stupid. We are without a doubt in an excellent
place right now as a program. Get real people.
Congratulations LSU football team, congratulations coach and we're looking
forward to a big Rose/Orange bowl party and possibly the 3rd 10 win season
next year! I'm definitely going to buy
2007 LSU football tickets!
