I'll admit that my expectations were too high after unexpectedly winning the West last season. I was thinking 10-2 or 11-1 with an opener win over FSU and the Bama game deciding who won the West. What I 100% did NOT expect was for LSU to field a defense reminiscent of the 2008 Big 12. That was...just gross.
In all the years of watching and following LSU football, I've never seen a paper tiger defense like that. It's frustrating to think of the coulda beens - if LSU had been able to field even an average defense, they'd be 12-0, headed to Atlanta, and making 2019's best team ever look like the second-best team ever. A below-average-but-not-terrible defense and they'd probably have been 11-1 looking for Georgia to smoke Bama in Atlanta and jump into the 4th playoff spot. That dropoff has been a bitter pill indeed.
