BATON ROUGE, La. -- After another frustrating LSU loss to nemesis Alabama, it would be understandable if the Tigers struggled to focus on the here and now.
In one fell swoop, their College Football Playoff hopes were probably shot, playing for the SEC title seems unlikely, and Leonard Fournette’s Heisman Trophy motorcade drove into a ditch.
It was the exact opposite of what the Tigers spent last week dreaming about, and that will certainly make LSU coach Les Miles’ job difficult this week. The last thing Miles’ Tigers can afford to do is allow the disappointment to damage their psyches.
