Arkansas is easily the most underachieving team this year in the SEC. But they can be good when they put it together and even before the last 3 games for LSU (and Arkansas) I always though the road game at Arkansas was going to be very tough for LSU.

3-1 is a reasonable and very achievable goal in the final 4 games for this team. In fact, anything less than 3-1 will be very disappointing

Even though LSU has a couple of last second wins over Kentucky and South Carolina, LSU has never been top 5-6 of the league caliber good overall. They were really more in that group of teams between Mississippi St. - Arkansas. From an overall record standpoint only Vanderbilt and Missouri have a worse record than LSU (Arkansas has the same 14-13 record). Still, it would be nice to see LSU finished close to the top of the "2nd tier" group.

Getting 3 of 4 down the stretch will put LSU at 17-14 (9-9) for the season. That's not "good". But it is definite improvement from last year and give the program more positive momentum going into the offseason than they at the end of last season.

I would say before SEC play started I was every bit as disappointed as I was with the full season last year. But SEC play has been different.

We have exceeded the expectations I had for this team for this year based on my perception of the talent and what I had seen as a lack of development and improvement both individually and collectively.

Starting with SEC play I saw that change and I for the first time under CMM I began seeing the improvement and development.

Some immediately said it was because of the addition of Cook around that time, but I think we've seen subsequently, at least I have...to say that's not the reason.
