LSU Comes from Behind to Win, Sunday Review

What a fantastic football weekend this has been so far, first the LSU/Bama game, then the Pats/Colts game today which Brian at Talking NFL broke down for you all.

Back to the SEC, you couldn’t have asked for a better game between the LSU Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The game lived up to all the hype, all the talk, and the 4th and long touchdown from Flynn to Doucet to seal the win for the Tigers at 41-34 was simply unbelievable. As I outlined in another post, the ramifications for the game for LSU were monumental. With the win, LSU moves to 2nd in the latest top 25 poll behind Ohio St. and has the National Championship clear in their sights. I thought the game was well played on both sides, and what about Glenn Dorsey, what a warrior, he is going to be really good in the NFL, mark my words.

In another high scoring affair, Darren McFadden went crazy as predicted scoring 2 TDs on over 300 yards rushing to lead the Arkansas Razorbacks over the South Carolina Gamecocks 48-36. After such a promising start, the Ol’ Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier is wondering if maybe he’s lost his mojo since leaving Florida.

Speaking of Florida, they dismantled Vanderbilt at home again for the 17th straight time in the last of the three conference matchups. Vandy’s tough defense was no match for the dynamic duo of Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin. The Gators are a tough team to play against in the swamp, regardless of who you are.
