Cancel 2020.2 (11-10-2019)
They have 3 regular season games and, in all likelihood, the SEC Championship.
But the chances of LSU losing to Ole Miss, Arkansas or Texas A&M are pretty slim.
Yeah, the early mistakes hurt. The fumble by Tua and the fumble on the punt put us playing catchup the whole game. Great game though.
Coaches are catching up to Saban. He's still in the top with h.s. recruiting but no way he's no. 1 every yr. anymore. No way he has a secret formula. He's had a remarkable run. He put LSU back on the map around 2000 and for that I'm grateful. Coach O has a formula all his own which somehow works for him in Louisiana. He's home grown, speaks Cajun French and knows how to boil crawfish with the right spices. Best of all everybody underestimates him.

With Coach O, it is the first time in a decade Tiger fans wouldn’t take Sabin back. Saban is the Belichick of college football. People bitch and complain but in the end they would love to have him coaching their team
You are right about Coach O. He is the real deal for LSU. Les Miles was a train wreck. It was unreal watching an LSU v Bama game knowing Saban had to actually cover receivers and not be able to put nine guys in the box
The question is who can replace Burrow next year?
You mean the "top opponents" that went at or slightly above mediocre each of those seasons? Clemson (7-6), Michigan (8-5), Va Tech (8-5 and 7-6), and W. Va. (7-6)
Funny you don't mention, although you regularly talk about only the last 10 years, the openers against the 1 - 12 San Jose St. Spartans, the 5-7 Kent State Golden Flashes, the 2-10 Louisville Cardinals, and the perennial powerhouse Western Carolina Catamounts.
In 2019, the combined W/L record of Alabama opponents is 31-45. When you play only the teams in your conference, and the one you choose to play out of conference, that are considered scrubs, it's not hard to win lots of games.
