And then we got back in a comfort zone and got in a rhythm really in the second half making plays and making the right passes, right reads.And I thought guys did a good job of being patient and letting the offense work.Sampson, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, offered a good example of the difference in the two games.

They outplayed us. But we had a choice, and we werent ready.LSU: At least Jones knows his team can put an ugly loss behind it.
