Just tuned into the game, is LSU playing badly or is Clemson better than I thought?

It could go either way at this point.

And there's the illustration of the inconsistency of "leading with the head calls..."

CrimsonForce · Dec 31, 2012

This announcer is ridiculous with this targeting talk. So players can't leave their feet to make a tackle anymore? He was saying this all during another bowl game also. Just don't understand it..

Big time turnover there. If LSU can get a TD here I'm not sure Clemson can recover.

There's karma for you.

JBama_in_PCOLA · Dec 31, 2012

Ball is out.

Tide1986 · Dec 31, 2012

Looks like this could get ugly for Clemson.

JBama_in_PCOLA · Dec 31, 2012

Clemson needs to hold.

I know. I just thought it was going to last a little longer. It's been a weird day for temps up here today. It's stayed between 41F and 42F all day, never quite hitting 42. At the same time, the wind has been consistently 15-25mph. Chilly!

That's right - you are up in the alps! :wink:

Clemson is asking for it. Just 6 guys in the box. And sneaking a safety up there late is not going to cut it against LSU's power running game.

JBama_in_PCOLA · Dec 31, 2012

Good D...

Bazza · Dec 31, 2012

LSU adds 3 more to increase their lead 24-13 with just under 5 min. left in the 3rd qtr.

This crew thinks that talk about targeting is more important than the actual game given the few times I've heard them this season and during the bowls.

Did I read that right? Les Miles has only one non-conference loss since he's been at LSU?

I was a bit surprised by that as well, but it is true. His only loss at LSU to a non-SEC team was in 2009 at the Capital One Bowl to Penn State (19-17).

Completely agree. I understand they are trying to eliminate the vicious leading with the helmet shots, but anytime a defenders helmet touches an offensive player this crew laments that the defender "left his feet" and was "leading with the crown." That tackle on mettenberger on the sideline was a routine tackle in my book.

Also, when the offensive player lowers his helmet...it isn't called.

Go LSU.

Exactly. And its usually the offensive player lowering his head while bracing for the impact that causes the "helmet to helmet contact."

RogueElephant · Dec 31, 2012

Briefly watching the game I'm amazed Clemson scored 13 points.

It seems LSU is wearing them down.

rgw · Dec 31, 2012

Well the logic is...if the offensive player is changing the "sight picture" mid-tackle...it isn't the defender's fault.
