LSU entered the 2023 season with high expectations, but perhaps it’s time for a reality check after Sunday’s 45-24 loss to Florida State.
It’s the second straight year the Tigers opened with a loss against the Seminoles, and this one was particularly painful as they were dominated in the second half after taking a lead to the locker room.
It should come as no surprise that the Tigers were the second-biggest faller in this week’s edition of the US LBM Coaches Poll, behind only Clemson, which suffered a stunning 28-7 loss at Duke. Two teams dropped out, as well: TCU and Texas Tech, which were upset by Colorado and Wyoming respectively.
