I tend to agree with him. We are playing a season after losing 32 players from the 2019 roster 14 of whom were drafted with 5 going in the 1st round. Then LSU has a new DC and is changing Defensive scheme from 3 man front to a 4 man front. All with very young and green players. This would require a lot if coaching in the Spring which LSU did not have. Then the Fall practice was limited to 20 hours per week for about 4 or 5 weeks. Hell there was barely enough time to get players in physical shape much less install a new defense. LSU was using a new QB on offense in Brennan and now he is out and we have two true Freshmen playing. So how much time have they really had to prepare for SEC Defenses?
SEC aside, there are Conferences playing 7 or 8 games. The SEC plays 10 SEC only games. The ACC is a joke as is the Big12.
There is no tailgating, few fans, and piped in fake crowd noise. There is no home atmosphere.
This season was thrown together so schools could make enough TV money to make it through the Covid year.
So yeah, it is a year which will carry an asterisk forever due to the dysfunctional nature of its entire concept.
