The LSU Fighting football Tigers overcame a slow start and handily defeated the #3 Arkansas Razorbacks giving the #1 Tigers their first ever 12-0 regular season finish, 8-0 in the SEC and yet another SEC West Division championship. For the second time this year LSU had to play what was called the game of the century, having earlier dispatched Alabama and now tonight Arkansas. And lest we forget, this same LSU team, which has to endure the rigors of the SEC west schedule, started the season with a big win over Oregon, who were early favorites to win it all this year. And LSU absolutely destroyed Auburn, last years champs, although Auburn is not that great this year.
LSU did it tonight by coming back from a 14-0 deficit. In fact, it was just a matter of minutes and it was 2-14 LSU. A huge punt return by Tyran Mathieu made this possible. And then LSU simply took over with relentless defense and a punishing running game.
And now LSU is poised to face Georgia in next weeks SEC championship which is always played in the Atlanta Georgia Dome. Maybe in the future they will move this game to a real stadium, the Superdome!
Tonight I'm just as thankful as I can be that I''m lucky enough to be a LSU Tiger fan. What this program has done, especially under the Les Miles regime is amazing and has kept this program among the NCAA elite programs. They are winners, year in and year out. And hopefully, LSU will be playing for it's 3rd national championship in 8 years among the many other division and conference and bowl championships won over this time period.
LSU Tigers; proud to support them! Geaux Tigers!!
