Texas. If we play them at the end of the season we beat them 55-10 just as bad as we did Oklahoma and the Little Brother Aggies.

Florida had me more worried than Auburn.

Texas had me scared. Johnson almost recovered that onside kick.

It was honestly the most impressive effort on that onside kick.

Florida played and outstandingly coached and executed game against us. Mullen used 2 QBs as well as I have ever seen that night and while we still looked to be the better team most of the night there were moments that had we not been able to answer felt like they could have taken control. The only poorly executed play by them I remember was the interception as trask throw was a little off, and had stingley not read the play well or had less than near perfect technique that would have been a touchdown tying things up midway through the 4th. That game was the catalyst to our run and showed that we were no longer just an uber talented group of players, but a well coached team that had answers to the best other teams could throw at us.

After rewatching, I thought Florida, Auburn didn't stop us, we stopped ourselves.

I don’t know if it was the only one.

When we couldn’t stop Bama in the second half, I was like “oh frick, here we go again”.
I was pretty nervous when they did the onside kick.

1. Auburn - just the ruggedness and defense of Auburn plus the history of tight games.

2. Florida - Was definitely concerned when they had the lead in the second half.

3. Texas - Beginning of it all. Not sure how legit our offense was yet or if we had a killer mentality. This is the game that I truly felt that we were good enough to win it all barring a major injury.

4. Alabama - just because it is Bama and on the road. After this win I felt we should win the national championship.

I'm going with Alabama. Best team we played (except maybe for Clemson). It was in Tuscaloosa. The second half Bama outscored LSU 28-13, scoring touchdowns on 4 out of 5 drives. Last two drives LSU had to score. Thankfully we had Joe Burrow and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

In the title game, we went down 17-7, had a bunch of 2018 type drops, I was starting to get concerned. We turned it on quick and never looked back.

Bama game, Najee Harris in that 2nd half and all those damn 3rd and long and 4th down conversions we kept giving them had me more nervous than any other game all year, just because it was Bama.

Florida was also a nerve wrecking game, Trask was playing way beyond his abilities and that was the most frustrating part.

Auburns QB was not good, just felt like we couldn't lose that game.

Texas...if we hadn't converted that third down, wasn't confident D could stop them. Burrow made a great play...

1. Texas- Still hard to believe that that team and QB that showed up that night, lost 4 more games.
2. Fla- Kyle Trask was flat out unbelievable. Surprised he didnt get way more press for that outing that night.
3. AU-Never felt that the game was in jeopardy until that last onside kick. If they had gotten it, AU moves to the top of this line.

The only reason Auburn game was close was field conditions. Very soft field for a very fast team never helps

Florida was the only team to have a second half lead over LSU all season long.

They also mugged our receivers all game.

Which was a blessing in disguise.
