The situation is somewhat similar as far as losing the majority of the O and its coordinator but the teams are nowhere near the same caliber. Yes LSU recruits really well but at no point in time over the past ten years have they reloaded year after year after year like Alabama. I get the optimism from the standpoint that they are replacing a lot. However, this program isn't LSU and they aren't going to regress that way.First off all who said anything about 5 years ago. Im talking about a similar situation with similar caliber teams that happened the past 2 seasons. LSU didnt have a perfect storm, all those years they had dumb *** Les Miles who was trying to play 1980 football while college football was changing, much like we have been doing before we got Lashlee. Orgeron made the changes to bring their offense up to speed, Orgeron went and got Burrow. It took them a season to fully install the offense. They didn't luck into it. Then they lost their #1 Heisman QB and the OC basically and almost all their offense and defense and DC and you know the rest. It's alot of the similar changes Diaz is making on and off the field. And i have been tough on him when he had Enos and Rumph etc. So if we now start seeing the results on the field am not gonna say he lucked into it, he made those changes to correct problems.
All am saying is this narrative that we don't have a chance and only because it Bama is dumb when i look at actual facts. I don't care how many season openers he won. They Broke Francois leg and the game finished 24-7. 17 points after taking out the starting Qb. How many wins did FSU finish on btw?
LSU's title team is the exception to the norm for their program. Alabama having a season like LSU did last year would be an extreme exception to the norm for them.
You keep mentioning the talent differences between the teams LSU struggled against last are similar to the talent difference between us and Alabama but your forgetting one key thing in all of this and that is Nick Saban. LSU was poorly coached last year and their play on the field reflected it. Name me one time you have looked at a single unit on any of Saban's Alabama teams and thought they were poorly coached.
