The '05 LSU collapse against the Vols at home - at night - helps. :)

There's nothing wrong with having pride in a win but also don't pretend that there wasn't unprecedented circumstances involving the players, coaches & south Louisiana leading up to that game. That Tiger team was drained mentally & physically in the second half of that game. There's no way the players were able to maintain their normal focus or conditioning in dealing with the fallout from Katrina & Rita hurricanes while some lost friends, family members & homes.
