re: Bama fans - yall do realize that LSU has nothing to Lose in this game right?

LSU ranked #3 with playoff implications and the division on the line. LSU fans: "We've got nothing to lose!"

It's not inaccurate. LSU was picked by some to finish 5th in the West. We were supposed to be somewhere between 7-5 and 5-7. We are 13th in the SEC and 115th in CFB in starting/game experience on offense and defense.

LSU has 1st time starters at QB, all 3 WR spots, both RBs and 3 OL. We lack an elite RB that has been the feature of the LSU offense for years. We have a HC that is mocked and a new OC that is not respected.

Bama is unbeatable and nearly every other SEC team got shiny new HCs that are supposed to be great.

Yet, here we are the pre-season #24 team playing for a playoff spot. We are playing with house money. Now maybe Bama crushes LSU Saturday, maybe they don't, but no one expected us to be here.
