There was zero chance LSU was winning that game if Sellers had played four quarters. They still needed the help of some beneficial calls and a missed FG to get out with a win.

That win fooled the nation into thing that LSU was much better than they were. It also allowed our team to gain some confidence. Mostly importantly, it hid just how bad LSU are against the QB run.

I think if there was a little more film, Ole Miss would have pushed Dart to run a little more. That likely puts them over the top against us.

LSU got lucky to face a hurt QB at Arkansas, which limited is mobility as well.

The second half against A&M blew the door wide open and now the word is out. I would be very concerned about Vandy this week, but most of my care about this season has left the building.

Brah every team gets breaks like this during the season. You only know LSU because thats who you follow. How about against Florida half our offensive line is gone. If they are not injured we probably beat Florida. There is also countless other examples of this, in many different games.

If we don’t lose our center. Drop 2 in the number interceptions and another in the hands. Drop a TD pass and countless other passes in critical times we beat UF. See how this works?? It’s called football. Please stop.

Or Ole Miss whose best player was hobbled against us, but still dominating our DBs, until he got further injured? They win going away.

The USC was big because we had no chance with Sellars in it.

thats really just your opinion though. Which makes this exercise stupid. LSU is exactly where they should be. No more or no less.

One question. Why are you still here? If this team/year is disappointing then frick off and try again next year.

LSU absolutely deserved to lose to SCe

And the Ole Miss game was literally stolen from the Rebs on the last play

Say what you want, this is really a 4-6 team

I’ve learned enough in my years as an lsu fan that now that all of my hopes for the season have been crushed, LSU will start playing lights out and get my hopes up for what could be a great next season… wash, rinse, repeat…

And A&M pulling Weigman and blowing the USC lead is keeping us from the playoff. We can do this all day

Florida had several defensive players out. But you only follow LSU so you wouldn’t know that

give me all the starting florida players on defense and LSU starting offensive line and Ill take that bet everytime. Florida's defense has been porous most of the year. I know that because I follow more than just LSU.

Total garbage post filled with “ifs.” There are things that go your way, and things that don’t. That’s football and it’s why they play the game. There are plenty of things that didn’t go LSU’s way that lost them games over the years.

Also, if you’re a running QB and you get hurt then it’s not lucky. Getting hurt is a major risk of your success being centered around a running QB

Or CJ Daniels getting hurt again in TAMU as well as Dellinger that game is won. LSUs offense was clicking and holding onto the lead. You have to control the clock. TAMU had zero answer for the intermediate game with Daniels playing. None.

None as important as Daniels and Dellinger for TAMU after the half and then trying to “figure out how the MOST IMPORTANT POSITION GROUP ON OFFENSE - the line adjusts to the losses this season. Playing a third string first time starter and RS freshman for a 5th year senior. Then there is Daniels injury for a few of those games has hurt this team. Go look at Nussmeier and his targets and change
