This Texas vs LSU game is exciting as hell.
But I feel depressed too because Burrow and Ehlinger are light years away from what we saw from Book on Monday. Same goes for the offensive playcalling and creativity, it's not close.

LSU looked very very good. Exploited young Texas corners all night long

I watch a lot of college football but don’t follow recruiting. There are great QB’s but not at ND?

We do not understand why Kelly can’t recruit or develop a great QB either.

Well Kelly should start Jurkovec and play him the entire first half vs New Mexico
Let’s see what he’s got. Then put Book in for the second half, throw 90% of the time, and give him strict orders to not run or even leave the pocket.
Uh...no.
Iff Book gets on track, looks good, and Nd dominates as they should...then Jurkovec should get as much time as possible.
Key is getting Book on track prior to Georgia though....
Re: Well Kelly should start Jurkovec and play him the entire first half vs New Mexico
Hell no. After that performance vs UL, Book needs all the reps he can get before UGA game. I expect PJ to be playing by mid 4th Q, but let Book pad his stats some to help build confidence even if it is against a shit team like NM.
Careful, don't want Jurko's 2nd year slump to come a year early.

He needs more seasoning. He should be ready in two years.

Wonder if USC wished they had Ed Orgeron back. Eleven wins against top 10 teams. Brian?

You're really wishing for Ed Orgeron? Really?

I just replied to see how damn far this went. Ed is a good guy. Damn good coach!

Considering how many players from LSU end up as quality pro players, LSU has underachieved.
He is a great recruiter but hardly a "damn good coach" He benefits from being in probably the best geographic recruiting location in the country bridging two great areas: Florida to the east and Texas to the west. He has the same fatal flaw that Willingham has as a head coach: he has never been a coordinator. He therefore is heavily reliant on having quality coordinators on both sides of the ball. He has that with the defense where Aranda is the highest paid, and probably best, DC in the country. He has had a revolving door at OC which shows.
One good game against a quality opponent doesn't make him a quality head coach. It is easy to predict that LSU, considering their talent, will have two inexplicable losses before the year is over.
Not in any way. Just quoting what ESPN reported that he has 11 wins against top 10 teams.

Can you list those 11 for me?
Thanks
Ask ESPN that’s what they said. And we know the media is always correct.
(no message)
Why yes PBJ, Brian has kicked Ed O's ass every time.
(no message)
How’s BK doing against top 10 teams? What’s your sample size?
They said Ed has beaten 11 top ten teams as head coach. Now 12. They may be wrong. You tell me.
Agreed, Kelly owns Orgeron. P.S. No one else beat Clemson last year either.
(no message)
Ed beat 12 top ten teams as head coach. BK has beaten 2. That’s what I’m told.
(no message)
That isn’t correct.

They said it on the game
Why isn’t it correct?

They say "God never makes mistakes." In the case of Desmond Howard, I think God dropped the ball.

I didn't see the game or hear the comment. What I could find regarding Orgeron is that he was 6-11
vs. top 10 before last night as an SEC HC (Ole Miss and LSU). I could only find one win vs. top 10 as USC interim -- over Stanford. That leaves it at 8 counting last night's win against Texas. If I'm missing something, please correct me. I'm always happy to be corrected if my info is wrong. I could not find any source on the internet to confirm 12 top 10 wins for Orgeron.
How many times can I say this? ESPN put it as a crawl and said it on the broadcast. I didn’t.
(no message)
So what?
Not sure what your point is with that last comment. We know you got the info from ESPN's broadcast. We are just further discussing it and trying to clarify or verify it. Is that a problem?
Relax could care less. Is it, wrong I don’t care. Just proves media is useless I already knew that.
To be honest now that it has been questioned I would be surprised if it is true. Just took it as serious since few coaches have 11 wins against top ten teams. That is all.
I am relaxed.
You put something on the board that was then discussed among several posters. Nobody got worked up over it. It was just an interesting sounding tidbit that drew some follow up.
I get it. In the future I’ll stop posting what ESPN reports.
(no message)
No reason for that.
It was an interesting item. I don't fault you for passing along what ESPN reported. I just thought it sounded hinky, so I followed up. Not trying to give you a hard time or anything. I'm still not 100% sure what the actual record is, . . couldn't find a straight-forward answer in some quick research. It's no big deal.
Agree. Big Ed might be good but he sweats like a pig and must smoke 2 packs a day

Btw, Ed O has 2Ws vs teams ranked in the Top 10 at year end; one each at SC & LSU.
