The Tigers went a respectable 26-12 during Nick Saban's first three seasons, winning the SEC in 2001, but this year has been a whole different story. Next to Oklahoma, LSU is arguably the most complete team in the country, with a dominant defensive line, outstanding defensive backs, reliable QB Matt Mauck and a stable of talented running backs and receivers.
Damn straight....we need to start getting some more respect in the national media to sway some of these voters away from the popular choice of USC to the right choice of LSU!
