Would it be accurate to think Florida has an advantage in getting Kiffin over LSU just because the LSU job seems to be drama-filled?  Am I off on that?
For a lot of coaches, probably.  But Kiffin seems to love drama-- he invites it, creates it, thrives on it.

My guess is the highest bidder gets him.

Crazy stuff going on in Oxford. Lane is the same age as me. He’s already highly despised in Knoxville for leaving the Vols after one season. Got fired from USC. Had some sort of falling out with Nick Saban.

He’s been extremely successful at Ole Miss. I get why he’d want to go to LSU but the expectations at LSU will be so much higher than OM. 10 wins at LSU can get you fired.

Well, that was 13 points more than I expected us to score.

Cheers to @CWSooner on a good year of resurgence for his team.  

I know it's dumb to do anything resembling complaining about the defense when they're the only thing keeping us in games and were the best defense in the country nobody knew about.  I guess I say the following because they're the competent unit, the one with the realistic chance to make modest improvements and play an all-around clean game.  But it sure does seem like they're good for 1 or 2 complete busts per game, and they had 2 in this one, for which OU made them pay both times.  Add that to the fact that they weren't good stopping mobile QBs and it points to discipline, which is a coaching issue.  Everybody slobbers over Blake Baker, I suspect he might just be okay, with very good talent.  

On a given play or given possession, LSU's defense was as good as there was--when not facing a running QB.  Over an entire game, they're just a top 15-20 defense, because of said complete coverage busts.  Again, it's dumb and mostly wrong to point to the defense for yesterday's affair, but it's still true.....don't vacate the entire middle of the field twice and maybe you carry your inept offense to victory 10-3 or 10-6.  

It would've been nice to have some aspect of the game be reliably great and fun to watch this year, given the offense was crap and special teams weren't very special.

At least your team didn't wait until the last game of the season to play-call like they should have the whole year.  
Run, run, run, play-action, run.  Not hard.

Our offense was crap because we acted like Lagway was the best player and not our RB, Baugh.  Napier catered to Lagway, even as the INTs and losses piled up.
Meanwhile, we have a talented RB who up until the FSU game, had only 182 carries on the season.

I regret not watching the UF/FSU game.  I checked the score afterwards to see how it went and was very surprised.
