Hindsight is 20/20, but I’m so happy the Texas game was canceled last year

Our defense was so bad in September and October that Mississippi State and Mizzou tore us a new one. I’m guessing that Sam Ehlinger and Texas would have done the same to us in Tiger Stadium. That would have been pretty embarrassing, so I guess losing that game was addition by subtraction in hindsight.

I have a feeling that with a normal year, we would have gotten our bearings and been a strong mid to top SEC team.

This was an already insanely young team and I think everything being up in the air threw them off way more than a team full of people who had been in school and played a normal season.

Yeah, everyone had to deal with COVID, but not everyone lost what we lost and were expecting a lot of freshman to fill their shoes.

Had everything gone like a normal schedule, I still stick to my initial prediction of 9-3, 8-4 being the floor. Last year was a team that needed to find an identity and run with it. They did just that, but not until very late into an already abbreviated season.

If we would have had a regular season, our team would have performed. It became a perfect storm.

Yes, we would have lost bigly to the Horns. I just think last season was a total aberration, everything that could go wrong, did so! We just need to forget about last season and move on...

Would have been a shootout and either team could have won it. LSU offense would have went up and down the field on Texas just as easily as Texas would on LSU.

If there is no COVID, our original schedule had us playing a warm up game against UTSA before UT. I think with more practice time, our team better learns Bo's system.

We might have lost to UT but it would not be a blowout.

And we would have played Moo State mid-season, when they were exposed.

Might have saved Herman's job if we lost to them.

Texas elected not to travel to Baton Rouge due to Covid.
