LSU is playing so much better since the loss to Troy

I keep hearing this over and over. Even talking heads on radio & TV are repeating this mantra. But is it really true?

Since LSU embarrassed themselves and the conference by barely scraping out a win against a now 4-4 Syracuse team sandwiched by a blowout loss to MSU and a loss at home to Troy (hard to type that), what have they really done?

They beat a 3-4 team, by 1 point, who has since fired their coach.
After getting skull drug to the tune of 20-0 for almost an entire half of football, they come back on a short-handed team whose coach simply took the foot off the pedal too quickly and won 27-23.
They beat a team with a defense that you can run through like shite through a tin horn (seriously, Ole Miss AVERAGES allowing almost 300 yards per game on the ground. Gross).

So in summary, LSU has played one good half of football versus a good team, whose coach went to sleep at the wheel, since the Troy debacle. So no, they are not playing "so much better".

Alabama covers the 22.5 easily.


I know, I know, TLDR....
