LSU Tigers

The Tigers are back to being a dominant SEC football team. Say what you want about Miles and/or Orgeron, but the Tigers are back to dominating inferior competition the way they should.

After getting off to a slow start, many in SEC country had to be wondering if the outburst against Missouri was pure emotion. Instead, the Tigers dominated the second half after being tied at 10 at halftime.

Orgeron and Co. used a 28-point third quarter to seal the deal and begin prepping for a reeling Ole Miss team next week. That game looked like a dominant Ole Miss win a month ago.

Now?

Good luck Rebs.

Impact Moving Forward

Continued momentum surge

LSU has scored 40+ points in back-to-back for the first time since Vietnam. Or so it seems like that. While the team sputtered against even inferior competition under Miles, the offense is hitting big plays under Orgeron.

Ole Miss has shown it is suspect at best while defending big plays, so the Tigers have another shot at a big win this weekend. If they can beat the Rebels in Baton Rouge, look out. LSU would then get a bye week to prepare for a huge SEC football showdown with Alabama.

Of course, though, it is one step at a time.
