Tigers faithful, have you had enough time to reflect and take a deep breath after the events from Sunday Night in Las Vegas? There’s no need to jump off the Horace Wilkinson bridge or any of the other 612 bridges throughout Baton Rouge. It’s going to be okay, and no, I’m not Dr. Phil.
Let Lane Kiffin troll and have his fun. In actuality, when October 12th rolls around on the calendar and a highly ranked Ole Miss team comes up short in Death Valley, that will set things back on their proper axis.
The formula for LSU is a simple one. Win your home contests and in large measure the rest will take care of itself. When Joe Burrow and LSU claimed the 2019 National Title, they did so knocking off the likes of top ten teams in the regular season. Longhorns, Gators, Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers all fell by the wayside. That’s the path for LSU now.
But you say “Craig what about the loss to USC?”
A loss in September does not define your season. Urban Meyer in 2014 had an embarrassing home defeat at the Horseshoe to a Hokies team that would go on to lose 6 games that season. The Buckeyes bounced back, and qualified for the four team playoff, albeit as the number four seed.
