The Peach bowl had little to do with talent and had everything to do with a team that wasn’t mentally prepared.
No one was expecting LSU to even give us a fight, never mind crush Tech before the game began.
A reminder, if anyone needed one. LSU scored a TD in the first drive. After a few punts, Tech took the ball down to the LSU 7 and settled for 3 points. LSU then scored another TD in the second quarter to make it 14-3.
LSU was leading but Tech did not look any worse, just unprepared for the occasion.
And then came a disastrous sequence of events. LSU’s next 3 drives, all of which led to TDs, started at the Tech 21, 24 and 42, thanks to a stupid fake punt, a fumble and a 20 yard punt.
The game told us little about the strength and weaknesses of the Tech football Team and more about the fact that they weren’t mentally prepared for this game.
