I agree with jwins. Many of our respected posters who are fans of opposing teams had a rocky start; but early on you could see that they would be a good addition to the board. I think that applies here.
As for the analysis that I quoted though, I think you've allowed your memory of the game to be tainted by the faux analysis that the media has employed to dismiss the game and the Buckeyes.
Even before the game I was saying that, if
OSU lost, it would be because of LSU's superior power, not because of speed. And I correctly predicted that the media would mistakenly talk about SEC speed.
LSU's interior defensive line was too much for us to handle. Conversely, their offensive line pushed our DTs around and got bodies on our linebackers with regularity.
As many of us have stated in other threads, our linebackers and DBs play in space very well. The key to this season on the defense is improved play from the defensive tackles.
