Aren’t you glad you waited all offseason for this?
There’s no way to pretend that LSU played a good game. Max Johnson looked absolutely lost in the pocket at times, if there even was a pocket thanks to a line that couldn’t block anyone. The run game was non-existent. The defense gave you flashbacks of 2020, giving up a series of chunk plays.
But even with all of that, LSU went into the fourth quarter with a chance to win this game. They had played poorly, but they also didn’t get blown off the field. Besides, there were positives.
