What a crazy up, way up, down, depressingly down, up again and now really up year for the LSU Tigers. The final record for LSU will reflect 9 wins after suffering humiliating losses to Alabama, Arkansas and Ole Miss. Then we all experienced the Les is gone, Les might stay, Les is staying fiasco foisted on Tiger fans courtesy of Joe Alleva and others.
Bottom line is LSU is full, and I mean full of super talented student athletes and #7, Leonard Fournette is the best one yet. LSU has got to win more games and win bigger when they can; they have to play the game to always be in the hunt, not just by the end of October. LSU has to be a threat to Alabama and has to beat the Western Kentucky's of the world by 40 and more. And then can. Coaching is always the mystery. Les Miles is staying and I am glad about that but I do want to see improvement. Cam Cameron totally has the confidence of Les Miles; no idea of this Kevin Steele on defense. My humble opinion is he is a net negative.
In any event, LSU went to a bowl game against a decent Texas Tech team and flat out beat some Red Raider a**. Now there were times when the LSU defense was confounding; giving up big play after big play mostly on 3rd down. And then not until he woke up mid 3rd quarter was Brandon Harris doing much. But he did wake up and the defense scored a big turnover and the rest is history. As I am writing this LSU has scored 56 points and is leading by 29. Great overall game and we LSU fans cherish the results.
So a tip of the LSU cap to Les Miles, who survived the foolishness and lives to coach another day; another year. And a tip of the cap to a bunch of LSU players who I believe can only get better!
Thanks for a not so boring year; let's commit to even bigger and better things in 2016!
