Whoops…
Well, I am known to be a little too optimistic about everything in life. I was a little off with my bold OU prediction. Hope I am right about Clemson at least. I expected at least a game worth watching three quarters with OU-LSU…
I sure did provide a compelling argument, didn’t I? Very rosy in hindsight. You win some and you lose some when predicting stuff in a public forum, I guess.
My notes for OU-LSU, which I planned on doing for the game, but quit at halftime, as that didn’t work out. Enjoy the definitely more contested second game.
| GAME NOTES |
| Hurts-monster game |
| 2 good runs before big pass first quarter drive |
| Very much off on easy throws, pressured on tougher ones |
| LSU’s team strategy making him look pedestrian |
| Time of Possession |
| joe burrow getting lots of snaps in first quarter |
| Lots of three and outs by OU |
| OU defense is getting tired, and outplayed |
| Bend Don’t Break |
| two possessions in first quarter, with td results, not fg’s |
| Allowing 4 TD’s with no FG’s |
| Make that 5. |
| Big Plays |
| 7:54 first quarter-big pass to Ceedee Lamb |
| Which one from LSU? There were many |
| Breaks/TO’s |
| Blatant miss of PI call in first quarter |
| Ejection of Radley-Hiles |
| CB misses a pick six from OU |
| Slow trick play by OU on next drive, INT instead by LSU |
| NOTES |
| 3rd and 17 opening drive-OU runs, giving up already??? |
| Shank on punt |
| LSU good field position-TD easy |
| OU looks petrified early, disorganized |
| Wife already thinks world is ending (she ended up being right of course) |
| OU another horrible possession |
| LSU decent field position again |
| OU defense holds three and out |
| Jalen two good runs, first 1st down |
| Another false start |
| BIG pass play to Ceedee Lamb |
| LSU drives pretty easy drive for TD |
| Oddly, LSU gives Rambo a chance to return, good field position for OU |
| Now officials helping, BAD miss on PI long pass by Hurts |
| Joe Burrow prayer pass down sideline, WR out of bounds |
| LSU scores after bad call |
| Kenneth Murray injured, would be huge loss |
| Targeting look on OU on long Burrow run-radley-hiles ejected |
| 21-7 and lsu driving, hope i get to keep writing notes |
| Burrow throws long pass against true freshmen subbing in for ejection on first play |
| Lindsey makes fun of my winning prediction, I go to man cave |
| Slow trick play by OU on next drive, INT instead by LSU |
| This is getting ugly, and OU defense is on field a LOT |
| 15 yard illegal block penalty saves momentum a little |
| Another penalty on LSU, illegal hands to face, saves OU again |
| LSU converts 3rd and 18, killer pickup of first down |
| Long throw to end zone, Burrow another TD |
| 35-7, still nine minutes left in half |
| Roughing passer AND good pass to Ceedee Lamb, have hopes of Baylor-esque comeback |
| Good drive, one helping PI call, TD run by Hurts |
| If they can get a stop on one drive, and score one more time, AND get ball back in second half, maybe??? Man, I am a positive person. |
| twitter was wrong, and i should have remembered that lsu gets ball first in second half |
| WIDE open Thaddeus Moss for a TD, first pass of drive, way too wide open and easy |
| Run for five yards, but that was because there was a hold on OU |
| It is freaking 42-14-LSU is on pace for 80. Wow. Really testing my optimism. |
| Suddenly, that whiff on the PI earlier in the game does NOT seem like a game changer. This looks like it would have happened anyway. |
| LSU can now rest their banged up RB Edwards-Helaire |
| LSU scores again…easily. |
| I am signing off. I have better things to do. Like learn Spanish and catch up on some college hoops today. |
