LSU football leads Georgia into nightmare for Bulldogs

RED STICK – In the landscape of a nightmare, a golden sign hovers near the field on which is written WELCOME IN THE VALLEY OF DEATH. The murderous and haunting afternoon fades and a large group of 102,321 spectators deafens the misguided visitor with a comforting song about how this visitor has to perform a carnal act on the mascot of the beloved tiger.

Mention the new Georgian empire with this, as it prepares to move from second place in the standings after losing 36-16 on Saturday: Do not lose when it's eliminated in the regular season or this or that break or this or that call or such. He loses with a gigantic thump in the middle of the hardest sound.

Last year, Georgia was No. 2 with a 40-17 loss at 11 Auburn No. 10 on November 11th – two months before her appearance in the national championship game – and Saturday No. 2 against the fantastic number 13 LSU at Tiger stage.

He was blowing so hard with the physical strength that he usually masters, that he could even wake up with extra bruises.

In a nightmare, the other team plays too fast for the besieged to follow. That continued in Georgia (6-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday under the hot sun of presumed fall. "I feel they were not ready for that," receiver Justin Jefferson said after six passes for 108 yards. "I feel that fastballs have really kept them on their heels. They were very tired, fast. "

"I do not think Georgia is really ready for that," said quarterback Joe Burrow after his most prodigious match since his transfer from the Ohio State.

"You know, they're out of breath and walking around," Jefferson said. "So when we see this, we wanted to take those shots down."

In a nightmare, the team that makes you suck the air continues to do it on the fourth try instead of letting you leave the field. That's what happened to Georgia on Saturday, when a bold and shameless LSU (6-1, 3-1 SEC) scored a 4 for 4 win in the fourth try. "That was the message we were going to send," said coach Ed Orgeron, who doubted the rise, but quickly responded by adding, "Play to win the game all the time."

In a nightmare, a receiver is free, and he is so free that everyone sees him alone before the quarterback can take off the ball. That's what happened to Georgia on Saturday, with Jefferson so alone that he may have started crying. The 50-yard win in the second quarter allowed LSU to take the 16-0 advantage at half-time and symbolized the sudden lack of defense defender from Georgia ranked 11th in the national playoff rankings allowed (4.52), or 5.9.

How is the turnover in a nightmare?

Oh, it's going 4-0 at home.

How are the opposing shipyards going?

Oh, you know, 275, inveterate pounding, over and over and over again.

Of course, one is likely to try a false ground in a nightmare, and this false goal will surely look like a bastion of despair in the long history of false American field goals. This is the first quarter, a deficit of 3-0. A holder launches a kicker. A kicker starts running right. He does not run as fast as other players. Georgia had the impression that LSU looked defensive, except that: "One of their guys ended up not rushing and he rushed a second time," said the coach of Georgia, Kirby Smart. "He fell into the game and did it."

Then, as nightmares always seem to give hope somewhere on the line before crushing, look at the so-called newest American empire as it settled on the LSU's 38-meter line, at 19- 9, at 14:39, the excellent 27 of Mecole Hardman. Punt return has just been registered.

First piece: the most degenerate jet for a gain of zero.

Second piece: a gain of four yards.

Third game: a bag to get out of the field, the kind of bag that a quarterback takes, but a sophomore who took part in a game for the national title does not.

"It's really bad of me," quarterback Jake Fromm said. "I really should have removed the ball from my hands."

The next, enchantress, LSU of six games, which Burrow described as the smartest of the year, was led by coordinator Steve Ensminger, with his 19- and 17-yard races for Clyde Edwards-Helaire and his 36 defeats pass to Jefferson, seemed to be a cosmic comeuppance as well as shattering football.

So, while the saga ends at the end, we can expect the quarterback to come buzzing right like Burrow, then avoid a slip and bypass a defender, then travel 59 yards to the 4-yard line . the gigantic goosebumps of a roar amasses.

In a nightmare, some fans might storm the field, perhaps a quirk for a bigwig like LSU. "Many helmet slaps," one could tell, said a talented Cole Tracy, who proved the truth at 33, 36, 39, 24 and 30 yards.

On the other side, a No. 2 team forced by the other team to disfigure itself could get out of the field with the coach trying to cajole the players, his arm around linebacker Robert Beal Jr. at some point.

With the image of college football games a bit more chaotic, Smart told his players, "The message for us is that everything we want is before us. So, if you let LSU physically beat you, you still fight. . . "

"A great victory for our football team," said Orgeron. His team was beaten again after a defeat in Florida, with the Mississippi State and the No. 1 Alabama coming.

Smart: "It's very similar to last year."

Fromm: "Very similar."

Smart: "Who are we? Who are we? "

Fromm: ". . . meet in a team and really look in the mirror. . . "
