The Bulldogs from Georgia kept their undefeated record intact Saturday night with a resounding win over the Tigers of LSU. The game featured a Georgia offense move the ball on LSU's defense at will much like the Aggies from Texas did the week before. In doing so put more points on the board than any LSU opponent this season. The final CFP rankings should keep Georgia in the #1 rated position and the Tigers will finish somewhere in the bottom ten positions.
It is this writers opinion LSU finished the last 4 games in a regressive position, just the opposite from its first 9 games. LSU beat Arkansas 13-10, beat UAB, lost to Texas A&M and Georgia. Their offense regressed in 3 of those games and their offense averaged 26.7 points per game compared to their regular games that averaged 32.5 points per game.
LSU lost something in that 4 game stretch, probably due in part to the quality of coaching from Arkansas, Texas A&M and Georgia. Arkansas's defense did the best job controling LSU's offense and quarterback Daniels. A&M and Georgia simply dominated LSU's defense. The Tigers will now play in the Fiesta Bowl if the reports are accurate and will have another opportunity to win another game.
When all is said and done, the first season under a new coaching staff will have passed and the only thing it tells us at this stage is that LSU's season made progress over the last two seasons. Every thing else is speculation.
