What about LSU losing 37-7 to Mississippi State two weeks after beating us 27-0?

And LSU was playing at full-strength against Troy and MSU. In the opener against us, LSU was missing 7 starters due to suspensions and fall camp injuries. 17 true freshman played meaningful minutes for LSU against us, most of which didn't even see the field against Troy and MSU. And then consider that LSU finished the season ranked 18th. Which is good, but not great. Let's not put LSU on a pedestal. We should have been able to compete with them.
