As Sunday drew closer the worse I felt about LSU’s (0-1) chances of going to Orlando and knocking off Florida State (1-0).
Turns out those feelings weren’t wrong as Florida State absolutely hammered LSU 45-24, including a 31-7 beating in the second half. The Noles looked legit while LSU played the exact way we all feared in our preseason best case/worst case roundtable: shaky secondary, an o-line that’s not as good as advertised, and a receiver group that is all bark but no bite. Let’s get into the few bright spots and the many, many red flags from Sunday’s drubbing.
