Sublime: The first quarter!
Good: Dominating win! O line, Tua, Jacobs, Irv, the front seven, Jalen after the pick 6, Najee and Robinson late in the game, improved punting, Phrustrating Phat Phil and leaving him phuming after the game.
Bad: Secondary still struggling with rub/pick routes
Ugly: UT's start to the second half, Phat Phil as UT AD...

The Good: The running game was working well.. we were moving chains at will.
The Bad: I thought Tua still wasn't 100 percent, and he was overthrowing the ball on some case... He didn't look 100 percent comfortable.
The Ugly. That sack by Mack Wilson on Tennessee QB.

The Good: we just put 12 on them and made it more one sided than they did to us in 95

The Bad: the vol fans are worse than us at packing a stadium. I swear it was close to 35-40% crimson at kickoff

The ugly: the delusional part of the LSU fan base has bought into the Bama ref Philosophy

The funny: Buggs conducting Rocky Top with Peyton on the sideline

FWIW I think whatever was off with Tua was better by the end of the game. Pretty sure he ended his last 2 drives 9/10 and 2 TDs.

Yes he did get better toward the end. What's funny is that... I was rewatching the game.. there was some play where he tried to make big plays... when he could've played it safe and got 1st down.

The Good- The entire offense was firing on all cylinders (though Tua was tending to throw high on short and intermediate passes... nitpicking). The front seven on defense played great. The ILB's finally started scraping to the ball. Dylan Moses picked up his game. The new punter looked good.


The Bad- DB's looked a little off. Did not go to highest point to intercept/break up all of the Vol 50/50 jump balls they kept throwing. Other teams will see this and go to it often.


The Ugly- Everything orange. The looks on Vol fan's faces almost made me feel sorry for them (wasn't long ago we were in there shoes). Jeremy Pruit does not look good in Orange. I wonder if he will follow Butch Jones in a few years.
I tend to wonder if the throwing is a product of him not being able to plant the leg and foot properly.

I think that's what Danielson meant when he said "he has no conscience." He's sort of the "anti-McElroy:... :D

On the first TD when Tua danced in the pocket for about 6 seconds before the threw the amazing throw to Juedy across the field I think he had Waddle near the goal line for an easy reception. With Tua's vision, I'm pretty sure he saw him but he didn't pull the trigger.

It all worked out, but I think Waddle was the much easier and safer throw.

Everything was awesome, except Saban called off the dogs. I wish he would have kept pushing the ball, even with Hurts and Jones. Hang a hundred on twelvesee.

I've never seen 100,000 plus get so quiet so quickly...

There were four of us at the game Saturday. We did our best to be respectful and not rub anything in...

Heard a few rows back after we went up 28-0 and we calmly high fived each other...

"That's embarrassing. They don't even get excited about TDs anymore!" IT.WAS.AWESOME!!! RTR!!!

Haha, we had a similar reaction when the guys I was with would calmly fist bump then clap when Bama scored...
