Ding ding ding...we have a winner!

Sounds an awful lot like moral victory speak.

Everybody should remember this next time someone in our fan base believes J'Mar --or anyone else for that matter-- can't be replaced.

LSU fans are moaning and groaning, thinking Ensminger is calling a horrible game. And LSU will get kilt if they play this way vs. UGA, Moo State, and Bama.

Smith is not a good QB, but Holtz isn’t going to change. He would have the guy from Alabama sit on the beach rather than admit he made a mistake.

We need a true quarterback...like the kid at ODU. Get us a kid that throw the ball.

Tonight, our receivers really are not helping us.

Take away the stupid turnovers and we are right there.

Notre Dame did the same thing today. Yanked their two-year starter in favor of a BETTER QB!

But, so far tonight, I can't say the game is all Smith's fault. Yeah, there are the usual flaws. But if he had a good WR corps, things would be going better. Even our other QBs have to deal with lousy receivers.

Other than our receivers not showing up to play and J’Mar’s usual uninspired and unaccomplishing effort I’m not faulting the rest of the team. The other big failing is coaching philosophy, Tech isn’t playing with an aggressive mindset on either offense or defense. That’s how Holtz does it, he won’t go at it to earn a win, he just takes them when they present themselves.

No way. Has LSU IMPRESSED YOU with any plays tonight?

- I haven't seen a "wow" play from LSU yet tonight. No deep passes. No acrobatic catches. No long runs from scrimmage. No great punt returns, etc...

- LSU simply produced 10 points off of our two turnovers, and did a slow grind for their other 2 TD's.


It's the kind of stuff that will put you to sleep.

Just show me you want it!

FAU/UCF the other night. FAU got their ass kicked. But they came out with fire in their belly and punched UCF in the mouth.

Need a scoring drive to open the 3rd qtr.

That is his Tech career long.

If J'Mar doesn't RUN the ball some tonight, our offense will not produce. And I don't mean do his electric slide.....

No, I’m not impressed either.
