CFN was had a piece about the the Earthquake game and stuff in Random thoughts and had this to say about LSU's schedule that year. 1988 8-4-0 LSU 27 Texas A&M 0 7-5 LSU 34 Tennessee 9 5-6 LSU 33 Ohio State 36 4-6 LSU 6 Florida 19 7-5 LSU 7 Auburn 6 10-2 LSU 15 Kentucky 12 5-6 LSU 31 Ole Miss 20 5-6 LSU 19 Alabama 18 9-3 LSU 20 Mississippi State 3 1-10 LSU 3 Miami-FL 44 11-1 LSU 44 Tulane 14 5-6 239 181 21.7 16.5 OSU and A & M did not have very good years that season but were both highly ranked in the preseason. That could have been a montser schedule. only one really bad team, MSU. Some things don't change to much.
