LSU 24 South Carolina 17

This wasn't my favorite game, but it wasn't bad. I am not sold on Jarret Lee yet. He still has alot to learn as a quarterback. I am really liking the two quarterback system. It helps keep new energy on the offense and give Lee a chance to settle down. I also liked when Scott lined up as fullback with Williams as the running back. Murphy in the mix helped with the change of pace. The defense looked great in the 2nd half. The blitzes were well played. The defense looked okay in the first half, but gave up to many big plays. Here is a defensive stat for you. South Carolina's defense, which was 1st in the SEC, had 0 sacks while LSU had 6. BTW: The officials were horrible. Tyson Jackson and Kristan Pittman were being held every play. Darry Beckwith was called for a questionable horsecollar, when Richard Dickson was obviously brought down in the endzone by a huge horsecollar that wasn't called. Another huge facemask on Richard Murphy in 3rd quarter that turned his head around. Probably the biggest blown call was that touchdown in the last seconds of the first half. The Tigers get a huge defensive stop at the goal line and it gets blown by the officials. The Gamecocks runner's helmet crossed the line when he knee was down, but it was after that when he rolled over and reached the ball across the goal line. What pissed me off more is that there was clear visual evidence he didn't cross and it wasn't overturned in the challenge.

Game Ball: Defensive Line

Offensive Play: Terrence Tolliver air borne catch. If Lee would step into his throws it would be an easier catch. Just be glad that boy is tall. If he was shorter that could have been bad.

Defensive Play: So many here. The defenive line overpowered this Gamecock O-line which makes me exicted to see them matched with the freshman on the Georgia Offensive line.

Brownie Points: Keiland Williams. He played extremely well in the 4th quarter and looked like a serious playmaker. I see Georgia having a headache over OUR back field.

To go ahead and get this out of the way.
LSU has moved up to #11 in the latest polls. The BCS came out and LSU is at #13 in that crucial poll.
