LSU - fatigue and lack of motivation

It's hard to get up for Ole Miss. They are irrelevant and yet pesky enough to keep up. It's a bad combination when a team like LSU or A&M is playing to preserve their ranking/season more than anything else.
Our 2nd half defensive performance, though not perfect, was much better because it mattered. Our D is tired and the team isn't motivated right now because of a meandering season with limited possibilities.
I hate sounding a bit negative but I really think this is what it is. I hope Miles does his magic again and fires them up.

LSU has not played well against Ole Miss at home since the days of Dinardo. LSU hasn't won by more than 7 points against them in Tiger Stadium since 1995.

I actually think that what saves us in these "ugly" games is physicality and conditioning. Late in the game, we just seem to beat people down physically and outlast them.

Every year under Les that we're out of the SEC or national championship race, the team(especially defense) plays flat the rest of the way and sometimes drops a game. Look at 08, 09, 10.

Remember those ankle weights folks used to fasten to their ankles for conditioning. Looked like our DB's were wearing them most of the first half.
Webbles were constantly running by and past us. Heck, there were four instances I can recall where they had us completely beaten deep where their QB simply overthrew or underthrew the ball in addition to the several he did hit.
I couldn't understand it.
But in Ole Piss's last 3 series other than the 37 yard completion, our D finally played as we reasonably had a right to expect.

I think they will be a little more fired up next week for Arky after number 1 and 2 fell last night. Gives them a very legitimate shot for a BCS bowl if they can shine next week.

Nobody gives a shite about old piss on the LSU end. But I know some old piss alums that would give their left kidney to beat LSU. It's the nature of the beast. They get up for the LSU game like it's the BCS championship. LSU treats them like they're SW Oklahoma St.

crowd was never even close to a factor in the game with the exception of a few drives in the second half... no use of the LSU home field advantage never helps either.... regardless we looked flat on Def for a while

quote:Very good description of the real reality of the LSU football season, 2012. Didn't start out that way, but quickly spiraled down into futility in terms of the pursuit of the MNC. Injuries. Offensive play calls from hell. Coaching issues. Team discipline issues. Now a tired Defense? Kind of like trying to pick up a sand castle in one single piece.
a meandering season with limited possibilities.
And then just two weeks ago, we gave Bama yet another gift...

Really good, well coached teams typically don't have this problem.
