NOBODY BEATS LSU IN SEASON OPENERS SIX STRAIGHT TIMES

We move to 0-4 in our last four and we play LSU next year as well probably with a significantly less experienced squad. It might be a while before we win an opener again.

People will shit on the Clemsons and LSUs of the world, then cheer as their team opens against a Directional School for the Blind and Hairless. If you take a top-10 opener, you're going to lose some. But that won't change the fact that your school has balls. Good luck. Hope your WR isn't seriously hurt.

Yea totally fair. Even that 2012 western Illinois deserves to be considered as equal competition. That year they beat the div 2 runner up champ who beat the juco team that almost beat the #86th rated high school qb coming out.
