Realistic Outlook

Yes there have certainly been some questionable decisions to this point. I think we have “outcoached” ourselves in a few spots, trying to be to perfect.
- gameplan for OM & Trinidad
- goofy defensive formation on 3&10 last night.
- punting on 4th&1

These things have absolutely been frustrating.
However, it is extremely hard to win on the road in the SEC. This is a fact.

We have two losses, on the road, in the SEC, and at night. Both games have come down to the final play.
The SEC is already cannibalizing itself and it’s only early October.
Thus I believe it’s reasonable for a 9-3 SEC team to make the playoffs.

This is a solid team that can continue to improve. There are some positives to build on. Plus we will eventually get some key players back from injury.
Split the Bama / UT games and finish 9-3. I don’t see LSU losing back to back home games.
Everything is still in front of you.
