those are two pretty bad football teams. Dan Mullen beat both of them. Even though he sucks without Dak. He also steamrolled that shitty Ole Piss team everyone was excited about us beating. Arkansas just lost to fucking Missouri.
And that's where my concern with Orgeron comes in. Yes it will be refreshing to skull drag teams LSU should skull drag. What happens against evenly matched teams or teams that are better than LSU?
Well by your measure, half of the remainder of the SEC west is made up of pretty bad football teams, which bodes well for O beating them in the future. Add Miss St., and there are really only two good teams other than us, assuming you consider Auburn any good. In that case, O should fair well given the alleged lack of competition. For the record, I think Arkansas is a good team that lost motivation. Otherwise, I don't see how they would have beaten Florida so well. I also think Ole Miss was a good team that couldn't finish games and lost motivation after they lost this season's hopes.
Weren't those question marks with every coach out there other than Saban and Meyer? What coach was LSU going to hire that had already positively answered those questions ?
this year has been anomaly. outside of Bama, the rest of the Conference has been pretty mediocre at best. there are 4 teams in the west that completely quit playing defense this year. that doesn't happen very often and not something you can bank on carrying into the future. especially Arkansas and Ole Piss. those two typically have top 15 caliber run defenses. this year both are in the 100s.
