BATON ROUGE, La. -- Looking back at the events of last November, outside linebacker Arden Key can admit what happened when LSU tumbled from playoff contender to SEC also-ran.
The humiliating loss at Alabama started the Tigers’ downward spiral.
“Oh yeah, the Alabama game was the reason we fell apart,” Key said, referring to the three-game losing streak that started with a 30-16 loss to the Crimson Tide. “We were just all down. We felt like it was over, and we just didn’t play how we really could play.”
