Normally I tend to agree, that team success is a factor. But when you look at LSU specifically, and see how atrocious their defense is, there is a definite glaring reason why LSU has three losses. JD5 didn't lose a game, or fail to bring LSU back, he balled out of his mind every game, except the 4th quarter of the Bama game when he was illegally hit by a player who wasn't ejected for targeting.
