re: LSU - fatigue and lack of motivation

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.

that'll have a tendency to happen when you've recruited a team full of players who are National Championship caliber tallents.

As Ego tweeted before the Bama game. "This is the reason we decided to come here."

When you've done all that work to win championships, I'm sure its tough as hell to play out the string and finish the season with the same level of intensity, especially when the team hadn't played a game without the SEC or NCG on the line since like 2009 before the State game.
