You have a very short memory. Last year we blew out both Auburn and Arkansas, along with everyone else on our schedule except for Bama, and we did beat them at their place. The team played well every week and was as consistent as any LSU team in history. Same coaches, by the way.

As I think I made clear I view last year as a complete fluke for a lot of reasons. But I also don't particularly care what LSU did last year. If last year was the norm, and not the aberration then I'd credit it more but it wasn't typical. This year was typical. 2010 was typical.

Last year was a team with deep flaws on offense masked by the best defense LSU has ever fielded and likely will ever field. LSU did what it was supposed to last year and put the boot down on inferior teams, and I'd like to see that every year, but we're back to the norm this year and I'm sure next year will the same.
