re: LSU was undefeated in 2016 with Canada as OC

I don't agree with you - they looked focused to me. I have seen many times a stronger team outplay its opponent and still lose the game because of critical mistakes. Yes, I know that the critical mistakes are often due to a lack of focus, but not always. Fumbles are a part of football - you work hard to minimize them, but they are still going to happen. Sometimes a team just beats itself. As Bobby Knight said about coaching basketball fundamentals, you have to coach really hard against the game itself, because the game itself can beat you.
