re: It’s frustrating to know LSU coasts to a NC with a decent defense this year

I think a better DC could have gotten better production out our defensive roster. You can’t understate just how disappointing this defense has been

There’s no “coasting” to a NC.

Even the 2019 team had their moments.

Takes a combination of great play on both sides of the ball, no ST meltdowns, some breaks along the way, & great coaching.

No indeed not. We don’t coast to anything, except maybe a West Championship. We would still have to beat Georgia to get to the playoffs.

Kindly list the teams that "coast to a NC" besides 1995 Nebraska and 2001 Hurricanes // I'll wait


Did you feel threatened during any game in 2019? Even Bama, AU, and Texas scored late to make the final score closer. LSU was up 46-34 (Bama), 23-13 (AU), and 45-31 (Texas) LATE in those games. I personally never felt threatened to lose any of those games.

We were up 33-13 against Bama at halftime. Bama cut that lead to 39-34 with ~5 minutes left to play. So at that point they got it to a one-score game and had outscored us 21-6 in the second half.

We responded with a 4 minute TD drive but if you weren’t nervous when Bama cut it to a one-score lead, you are probably in the minority.

Texas was also a one-score game with ~4 minutes left to play. But that was a different feeling because we had been going up and down the field all night.

Not playing the best players for some reason. Wiggins , Weeks , Womack and others hardly if ever see the field. These guys may hit the portal and I hope not. If they do we are in deep deep shite
