Plain and simple, LSU as a program was not ready to play UF. I believe the success they were hearing about kind of inflated their egos. They just need to go to work and prepare like a champion this week and they will be fine when the final whistle blows Saturday.

I agree. These players weren't accustomed to being mentioned in the limelight of college football. There's a lot of national attention that goes with being the # 5 ranked team. They played as though they had already won the game and just had to show up. Not wrapping up on tackles, missed blocks, etc. and all these things make the difference in a game. I have no doubt LSU has more talent than Fla., they just didn't prove it. If, and that's a big IF, this team can come together and start playing hard and smart every game, they might have a chance to beat Ga. and every other team except Sabama. They will need to play exceptionally well and get a little help against Sabama. LSU just doesn't have the OC to compete with Sabama. Nor do they have the depth. In 1979 there were co NC's, USC and Alabama, LSU played both teams and nearly won both games. But that 79 LSU team had a lot of heart, not so much talent as Alabama or USC, but a lot of heart. Heart is what this LSU team needs to win out. I just haven't seen a lot of heart from this team so far this season.
