Are fricking kidding me? Off the top of my head in major matchups: VT, Oregon, and TCU....All were ranked. You realize Les Miles has never lost a regular season OOC game right?


THIS

Off top of my head, also add ND and Miami bowl game blowouts. Miami hasn't been the same team since then.

ETA:
We also absolutely destroyed Arizona and Washington in TS. And added a 47-21 beatdown of WVU in Morgantown.

There's quite a disparity in the talent levels between the two teams. If it's a close game - especially one that comes down to the last couple of minutes - we may as well resign ourselves to the fact that not much has changed nor will change. It's all about attitude and desire. Hate to use this as an example, but we need to play the big games with the same desire and energy that the Gumps had against us last year.

The last "Championship" was 2011. That's "Ancient History" in football terms.


So ancient that is you redshirted that season you were eligible to play in our bowl game 8 months ago

2005: Miami by 37
2006: Arizona by 42, Notre Dame by 27
2007: Va Tech by 41
2008: Ga Tech by 35
2011: Oregon by 13, WVU by 27
2012: Washington by 38
2013: TCU by 10
2015: Texas Tech by 29

To name a few...

LSU is a supremely mediocre 20-12 in the SEC since then.


Almost a 2:1 W/L ratio in the SEC West with UF (2012 and 2015 east champs) as your permanent east opponent is supremely mediocre?
