College Station was not kind to the LSU Tigers Saturday night as the Aggies offense dominated LSU's defense all night beginning with their first possession which ended with a touchdown after a time consuming drive. The Aggies ended the regular season with an overall record of 5-7 and a SEC record of 2-6. The Tigers ended their regular season with a 9-3 record and a SEC record of 6-2 and won the SEC west.
The loss ended any chance of LSU making the playoffs once again even though some thought they could do so with two losses. So the Tigers are now off to the SEC championship game with undefeated Georgia next week to decide the winner of this years SEC title. LSU ended the regular season Saturday night like they ended the first game of the season, with a loss. The only difference was Saturday's loss was fatal for the Tigers playoff hopes, the first loss was not.
This writer believes that when the LSU coaching staff review the film of the game to evaluate what took place, they will conclude that the Aggies were a better prepared team than the Tigers and misjudged the offensive capabilities of the Aggies. The Aggies offensive game plans took LSU's Perkins out of the game most of the night.
The next Politidose commentary will provide information to help evaluate LSU's first season under coach Brian Kelly and what the future might hold for the Tigers football fortunes down the road.

Note: This writer believes LSU has some veery good running backs and should use them more and Quarterback Dainels less to run the ball.
