re: Fehoko: Dominating Georgia is the benchmark, standard of what LSU football needs to be

Exactly. Alabama, as well as Florida anm ark Ole poss miss st and especially auburn all play us harder than any team every year.

We get the hardest schedule by default because we've worked our way into this team that's known to be good, should be great, but doesn't always show up and can lose any night. So even Arkansas shows up pumped tf up to play us. It's one of the least known anomalys of our program.

I think truthfully, Alabama gets extremely pumped up for the game. They have a very talented team and one of the best coaches to ever do it. Mixing that plus the fact that their team gets so up for the game, it turns into a bloodbath. Once the game between LSU and Bama has turned into such a big deal they have always come out playing like they want to destroy LSU. There have been a few games since 2011 that we have kept it close, but more often than not they just run over us.

So how do you fix it? How do we match intensity? There is not a 29 point difference in talent between LSU and Bama.

It seems like our intensity level's just not as high as theirs on a normal basis, which makes no sense. They take their cupcakes more seriously than we do, then, of course, they're going to take their big games more seriously.

You have to ask yourself how a team can be even more hyped to beat us when they've done it for 8 years straight. They should be trying to match our intensity.
