Well, 5-5. Yes, it’s pretty bad, but all the credit to the LSU Tigers for gutting out two wins to end the year, displaying heart and effort. Yes the defense was once again awful due to Bo Pelini’s failure to install more complex man match and zone coverages, but whatever, that is (God willingly) over. Saturday was about avoiding the stain of a losing season, and seeing some future pieces succeed. Both missions were successful, and LSU enters the offseason with some positive momentum, which seemed impossible a mere week and a half ago.
Recap
It started pretty rough, with a disjointed LSU three and out, and a six-play carving by Ole Miss for an early 7-0 lead after—you guessed it—an LSU busted coverage that put Ole Miss in the red zone.
