re: LSU lost more personnel than past 15 champions

LSU consistently brings in Top 5-10 classes. Yeah, you lost a lot, but you had a lot of talent built up behind them (at least you should have). Mississippi State is a program that also lost a lot from a team that finished right at .500 last year. They managed to beat you by two scores. If not for that pick six in the second quarter, the margin would have been three scores. At home!

I don't care how many players you lost off of last year's national championship team, there is absolutely no excuse for laying an egg that rotten. Talent alone should have triumphed over the Bulldogs. Yesterday's debacle comes down to coaching. More than a few of us have been warning you about the false gold Ed Orgeron showed you last season. He's no Gene Chizik but, unless the stars align again, my guess is you won't win another national championship with him at the helm. He's an above average head coach who had everything line up for him last year. Nothing more.
