re: Would LSU had been able to handle the OU team tonight?

We would need Mett but you never know with a month off. Not playing that SEC title game hurts. Not making excuses but look at the Big Ten all those years without a title game. If they sent a team to the title game they had an extra week off than a team who played a conference title game. Bama had that extra week off and they were not on their game. It all comes down to who spends the month off better.
