Our football was unpredictable, nerve-racking, and ugly all year, nothing new in the Miles era. I wouldn't say it improved or got worse throughout the year, and anybody that does is either a sunshine pumper or looking for a reason to bash Miles. We're just in an era of a lot of ugly wins and a few close losses, it's as simple as that.

We peaked in October and declined after early November.

No. We played up or down to the competition all year. Usce, a&m, Bama all were good teams and we won two of three and could have won the third. Add UF in there as well but they were an unknown at the time. Should have beat north Texas and Towson by more and same for auburn. No issues with ole miss or arky as we have not beat ole miss at home by more than 10 since 95 and that includes the Saban years. Arky is usually a tough game.

LSU is not a top 10 team this year. We should have never been ranked higher than 15 with this offense.

Clearly, yes. Defense wore down due to entire season of carrying an inept offense.

We actually got better on offense at home.

As Roger the Shrubber put it the offense was Bad got better then after the Bama game regressed and got worse. Defense definitely got worse as the season wore on. Not to say that it was all bad on defense but IMO was not playing with the same intensity as earlier during the season or at least finding ourselves out of position a lot of times.

No. LSU definitely improved dramatically from the Florida game to the Alabama game. Most of this was due to the OL going from below average to slightly above average.

Defensively, we were not as good in the last 3 games.

In the bowl game, the OL let us down again. Pass protection is a major concern for us. It has been several years since we've been capable of protecting the QB at a reasonable level.

LSU, with the exception of 2005-2006, has gotten worse as every season has progressed under Miles.

The defense for sure. They have looked like crap on defense ever since they gave up the winning score vs Bama.

The offense looked liked they were rolling against Bama and Ole Miss and then went MIA against Arkansas and Clemson. Two defensive powerhouses.

alabama loss took wind out of teams sails just like it did the fans.

It fricking sucks that LSU football has basically become a one game season.

we started off good then fell and then went up and then by the end we were back to regressing again.

it was like a roller coaster: way up north texas and washington, way down with auburn and uf, up against uscjr,a&m and bama, flattened out against state and ole miss and then crashed and burned vs arky and clemson
