re: Is the Death Valley advantage dead?

Instead, the talk this year is 7-5 or 6-6 predictions. Baked into that prediction is LSU losing at least 3 home games. Is the Tiger Stadium mystique that far gone??

It's not like Death Valley can make up for not being a good team, but it's still every bit the advantage it has been. We just probably aren't as good a team as we have been in the past, so we naturally may lose more home games than we were when we were a perennial top 10 team.

Our home record:
2017: 5-1 (1 to Troy)
2016: 5-2 (1 to Alabama and 1 to Florida)
2015: 6-1 (1 to Arkansas)
2014: 5-2 (1 to State and 1 to Alabama)
2013: 7-0
2012: 7-1 (Prior to the Alabama loss we had won 22 straight at home dating back to 2009)

We haven't lost 3 games at home since 2008 (Alabama, Ole Miss, and UGA) and haven't lost more than 3 games at home since 1999. 2008 is the only season since 1999 we lost more than 2 home games in a season.
