re: Does LSU have a realistic shot at playoff next year

Perhaps, but every time you take on Bama or some Big 10 team, it is essentially a war in the trenches. Bama has depth on both sides to where when one line rotates out another can come in and there is little to no drop off in quality of play. We have to build that same kind of depth to be able to handle those kinds of teams. It is also the reason that Bama is steamrolling many on their schedule. We held them to 10 points until we ran out of gas. If we had had more depth, it would have most likely been 3 points and it would have been a matter of winning on field goals.
