Very bad.
You must have had stellar seasons after all of your national championships in football. Oh wait…

In that span of time, Alabama played 65 ranked teams, going 53-12, which made up just under 50% of their total schedule.
Ouch.

My God how embarrassing for #insecureLSU.

Raise your hand if your team went 15-0.

LSU fell further and harder than any defending title team in my lifetime
Did you miss 2008? Suck on that for being wrong

aTm 13,
Their best team only REALLY missed out on a opportunity to run the score up on LSU. 13 freaking points is pathetic.

I dunno. Alabama has had the needle pegged on "excellent" and "elite" for over a dozen years.
LSU shite the bed after one lucky year.

Well, let's see...
- LSU tied the record number of players drafted from the 2019 season and had multiple COVID opt outs of key players, including their top 2 WRs, one of which was the top WR in the nation.
- They replaced the majority of the assistant coaches, including the coordinators, and the hires to replace them were questionable, at best. Pelini was simply terrible and the defense was lost half the time. You can chalk up at least 2 losses to that alone.
- The starting QB was knocked out early in the year and they had to turn to two true freshman QBs, one of which is no longer even with the team.
- One of their "home" games was played away at Mizzou due to a hurricane, so they only had 4 home games in an all SEC schedule.
I won't go into the overall distractions around COVID, no fans in the stands and everything else that happened in the shite show that was 2020 because that impacted everyone, but LSU absolutely had more to deal with than probably any other team out there. It was definitely an anomaly.
And they STILL managed to win 5 games. A&M should have beaten the hell out of them in College Station, but only managed a 13 point win. Auburn took advantage of the situation and laid a beat down on them and made Finley look very much like a true freshman QB in his first road game, credit them for that. Alabama was stacked on offense and took advantage of Pelini's horrific defense, and I'm sure they were looking for some payback for what LSU did to them in 2019.
If opposing teams want to look at the 2020 season and believe that LSU will look like that again this year, they do so at their own peril.
