First, let me tell you guys how I watched the game. My flight to San Antonio was cancelled due to fog and with my three coworkers, we decided to drive. With the busy Nola airport because of the game, there were no alternate flights. We stopped for dinner to watch the first half and watched the second half on the road with an open laptop. Got to SA at 2;30a
Bama was clearly the best team LSU played all year. Even with a defense that was sub Bama standard, I believe you would have beaten any of the three other playoff teams. With or without Tua, it’s safe for me to admit, I did not want to see a rematch. Sorry!
I loved this season. I got so down on boring LSU football under Miles. It was fun again.
Going forward, we’re not likely going to repeat. I’d favor Bama to win the west right now. But, I like our 2021 makeup. We have a solid recruiting class coming in and some freshman this year who will be the standout juniors like we had this year. I do think Clemson has the best shot of winning it all next year. They just don’t play anyone until the playoffs and that allows them to develop experience and depth.
Coach O, love him or hate him, did what 99% of college football thought he couldn’t do. One thing I do know is that he realizes what got him to this point - a fantastic staff. If he works hard to replace Brady and other potential losses with quality coaches, we will continue to be a tough out under him. We have comparable athletes.
Finally, 3 national championships in 17 years. I can only think of 2 other schools who would trade that record with us. That makes me happy.
