In the grand scheme of things the loss didnt really matter that much this season. I would say that is the one game that we should have won but lost. Florida State and Bama were better teams. The only consequence of the lost was basically going to the Outback bowl versus the Peach Bowl. In which, I imagine that whatever players opt out for this bowl would have opted out for the peach bowl too. The thing that sucks the most is the waste of an amazing offense. But that even got kind of vindicated with Jayden winning the Heisman. I still think this program is on an upward trajectory and have faith in BK.

I think it matters in a sense that instead of LSU being #13 they would be a 10 win top 8 team and all the graphics showing what next year’s playoff would look like would show LSU in it.

For the bowl game it’s negligible but we still should have won the game.

It made a difference perception wise.

Had they beat Ole Miss, it would be the “signature” win of the season

I can't get on board with this. FSU was better early maybe, but I'd have liked to have seen us play them while our offense was humming, even while they still had Travis.

Bama probably should have lost to a bad Auburn team as well, so I'm not really comfortable saying they're obviously better than we are.

was florida state the better team? if we score on those drives we are up huge at half time. in the realm of 24-7 going to half

if that was the case, they dont beat us. imo if we would have had diggs that game they do not beat us

hilton should have caught the ball against ole miss

should have been 11-1 right now.

Could’ve benefited from a better defense. Didn’t know how our QB was a Heisman winner quite yet, but it’s amazing to think that he hit the WR in the hands in the end zone and if it gets caught we win. Can’t boil that game down to one play, but that play does show that he was at his best all year.

One catch and the hit job in Bama game could’ve turned the whole season.

Flat state game - Our offense was yet to find its groove. The loss is understandable.

If Bama didnt resort to Turner-ing JD5 it could have come down to the last drive like the Mizzou game.

If Kelly let’s us go for it with the lead on 4th and 5 we probably win. Can’t punt and rely on the defense to get a stop.

How does it not matter ? Even if we beat Bama it ends up being a 3 way tie

This season feels a lot different with one less loss

meh....you could argue it meant a lot.

Yes, OM is the game that should have been won by LSU.

Had LSU won that game and still lost to Bama, LSu would have had 1 sec loss.....had Bama not survived Aubby, it would have made things really interesting at the end!

LSU would have been squarely in the conversation.

It was really the only “bad” loss we had. FSU should have been in the playoffs and Bama made the playoffs. While I hate to have lost either game there is less shame in those losses compared to Ole Piss. It hurt us in rankings and perception. People still don’t respect Ole Piss and they shouldn’t.

I agree BK has us on the right path but losing that game and our defensive incompetence that night was inexcusable imo.

9 point lead with 7 minutes left

Just an above average defense gets out of there with the win

Ole Miss 2023 joins TAMU 2018 as the most shameful college football contests LSU has participated in. The only solace is that even the winners should be embarrassed for having been a part of them. Those games are a stain on the sport. Crap like that is how soccer creeps up.
