Joe Burrow walked into Monday’s team meeting on black-and-blue ankles with two thoughts – one good, and one bad.
“The good thing is, we had our opportunities,” Burrow said. “The bad thing is, we missed them.”
In a tightly-contested 27-19 loss at Florida over the weekend, the Tigers lost a neck-and-neck game on the margins.
The box score shows as much: LSU’s 371 yards were short of Florida’s total by just 20. The Tigers overthrew the Gators (191-176) and were just five yards off their rushing total (210 to 215) after adjusting for sacks.
“I thought we fought hard the whole game,” head coach Ed Orgeron said.
