if LSU can't use that excuse after losing to Alabama last year, they can't use that excuse this year

Sports aren't played inside of a vacuum. There are ebbs and flows to each season for players, coaches, and the team as a whole.

We as fans often forget how much time and preparation is put into game-planning. Imagine busting your arse to study for a mid-term exam and then failing. For many, it's a blow for both your ego and any future motivation.

LSU has clearly suffered a hangover after Alabama in recent years, but this applies to every team.
