LSU Announces Itself as a Contender

This was Cowboys Stadium where SEC teams are now 10-0. LSU launched a BCS title game run here two years ago against Oregon. Alabama began its 2012 run last year by blasting Michigan.

This was a de facto LSU home game despite TCU's campus being 19 miles away. You have to remember, there are more ticketless fans back home at Tiger Stadium tailgating for the average home game than there are students enrolled at TCU. The overwhelmingly majority of the 80,000, then, fell in love with a whole new set of Tigers.

A similar thing happened two years ago in this very place when LSU announced a title run with the likes of Tyrann Mathieu and Sam Montgomery in that win over the Ducks.

If not for a 100-yard kickoff return by TCU's B.J. Catalon and a fumble by LSU's Alfred Blue 6 yards from his own goal line that led to a Horned Frogs' touchdown, the score would have reflected the proper dominance.
