LSU gets blanked by Bama in the Title Game, 21-0

This is the definition of embarrassing: getting blanked in your home state against your arch rivals in the title game. This is the definition of intensity: blanking your rivals in the title game and not allowing them to cross the 50 yard line until their last drive. The Tigers had an awful show of football as they had no fight whatsoever on offense while the defense was hung out to dry against a prepared Bama offense. This was the last game for many SEC stars including Bama's Dre Kirkpatrick and Trent Richardson while LSU saw the last of the Jordan Jefferson/Jarrett Lee duo of QBs. Les Miles will be and should be criticized for not putting Jarrett Lee in the game while Jefferson was struggling as the game was still in reach. LSU was not prepared and I don't think they deserve co #1s even though the two teams split this year.

No. 10 Marquette slips up at LSU, 67-59

Marquette had the best player with the best name on the court, but they did not have the better team on Monday night as the LSU Tigers bottled up the Golden Eagles and their standout guard, Vander Blue. As one of the few undefeated in the Big East, the slip up should take them down a few spots, but if they go into Big East play, they should be just fine.

LSU headed to New Orleans, crush Georgia 42-10

You can credit the Honey Badger for LSU's appearance in the National Championship game on Jan. 9. After an awful first half on offense, LSU's rock solid defense and Heisman finalist, Tyrann Mathieu, kept Aaron Murray's Bulldog offense on hold. The fireworks in the Georgia Dome didn't start till Mathieu returned a punt for a TD and LSU's rushing attack exploded. 42 unanswered points by the Tiger's show that this team is the best in College Football.

LSU is No. 1

LSU went into Death Valley ready for an upstart and upset-minded No. 3 Arkansas team. Many analysts were preparing themselves for BCS tumult, but Les Miles prepared his team to take down Petrino's team. Arkansas kept pace with LSU in the first half, but Tyler Wilson was rattled all day and the LSU run offense ran away with the game. LSU has two more games (likely in domes) since they'll play for the SEC championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs. If the Tigers can handle the Dawgs, LSU will play for the BCS title in New Orleans.

Game of the Century? Yes, LSU knocks off Bama, 9-6 OT

In a classic gridiron duel, #1 LSU at #2 Bama was the greatest game of the 21st century. The game was a brawl between the two best defenses in the nation, but LSU created more mistakes and Bama committed more mistakes, leaving the Tigers at #1 in the nation. Bama went 2-6 on Field Goals, missing a crucial attempt in OT. LSU capitalized nd kicked their own Field Goal to leave Tuscaloosa with a huge win. Though the game wasn't an offensive showdown, the defenses definitely showed up. LSU will look to remain #1 as they're in control for another National Championship berth in New Orleans.

LSU rolls Missippi State, 19-6

Jarrett Lee and a stagnant LSU defense led the 3rd ranked team into an upset minded Mississppi State stadium. The result: a dominant performance on defense as the Tigers silenced QB Chris Relf and any Bulldog running attack the entire night. LSU's offense was effient as Spencer Ware rushed for 107 yards and Jarrett Lee led the Toger offense down the field to put up 10 points in the 4th quarter and put the game out of reach. LSU proved that their defense is able to take on any team in the SEC and that their back-up QB, Jarrett Lee, can lead this team to victory.

LSU, Stanford, MSU, and OSU all recieve new Nike Pro Combat uniforms

Nike presented four new uniforms today for LSU, Stanford, MSU, and OSU for games against rivals later this season. The new Pro Combat jerseys stay relatively close to the old jersey designs except for Ohio State. The Buckeyes wore an all-scarlet, throwback uniform from Nike against Michigan last year. This year, forget about silver helmets with buckeye patches, go with a grey Alabama-like helmet with a jersey that features a mix of the classic scarlet and the new metallic-grey. LSU's only changes to their uniform were the collar and helmet colour, Stanford chose to go with a new black helmet, and Michigan State threw in some gold instead of white. LSU  plans to wear its all-white look for Oct. 22 vs. Auburn, Stanford Nov. 27 vs. Notre Dame, Michigan State Oct. 15 vs. Michigan and Ohio State Oct. 29 vs. Wisconsin.

Oregon no match for LSU

The 3rd ranked Oregon Ducks, fresh off a National Championship loss to Auburn, stumbled yet again to an SEC opponent Saturday night as the LSU Tigers mauled them, 40-27. The 4th ranked Tigers proved that the suspension of starting QB Jordan Jefferson would not impact the game as LSU's running game racked up 175 yards and back-up QB Jarrett Lee turned in a mistake free night. Heisman hopeful LaMichael James was held to only 51 yards rushing as LSU shut down Oregon's explosive spread offense. Oregon QB Darron Thomas said before the game that if Oregon does not win this game, it's a done season. It looks like LSU can continue it's pursuit for the National Championship and Oregon can only finish with Roses at best.
