Notre Dame 21 LSU 17

LSU's poor performance and loss in the 2018 Citrus Bowl was no surprise to LSU fans who are objective when analyzing the football program.  The team was poorly coached and it showed.  The team was not ready to play and showed the same problems that existed under former coach Les Miles.

LSU lacked the ability to rush the Notre Dame quarterback when it was necessary and their offensive pay calling when LSU was inside of Notre Dame's two yard line was vintage Miles running left and right off center into the heart of the Irish's defense and being stuffed.  They then had to settle for three field goals and missed on two of them.

This writer in a commentary dated 12/3/2016 expressed the opinion that LSU should have hired a head coach with a proven winning record instead of coach O.  Who ever was responsible at LSU for making that decision was not football savvy and acted irresponsibly in doing so.  As a LSU follower for over 50 years this writer has a hard time looking forward to next season.
