re: Season plays out like this...

I’m generally pessimistic about O and where we are as a program right now with Alleva and O, but I actually think we will go 9-3 or 10-2 this year.

I think we beat Miami and UGA, lose to @Auburn and Bama, and depending on if we drop a game that we arguably shouldn’t (@A&M, @Florida, State) will determine if we hit 9 or 10 wins.

If our collective expectations are ever lowered to 8-4 being a decent season, our problems are bigger than I thought. It’s LSU, go use your unlimited resources and talent, do your job and find a way to get to 9-10+ wins.

It’s a tad concerning that we would be the “underdog” in 4 or more regular season games in the first place (when is the last time that ever happened??), but with that said, it’s not unreasonable to expect LSU to win half of those four.
