Urban Meyer knows a thing or two about how difficult it is to win at Tiger Stadium.
The former national championship-winning coach at Florida and Ohio State made three trips to Death Valley while with the Gators, and during “Urban’s Take with Tim May,” Meyer offered a lot of praise for the environment.
He’s optimistic about the direction LSU is heading in under Brian Kelly. Between Kelly’s leadership and the home-field advantage of Tiger Stadium, Meyer sees the Tigers as a team that can compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
“I think LSU has a fine coach,” Meyer said, per On3. “I think he adapted much quicker than I thought. LSU is a tough ass place to play. He’s a good tough coach now. So I got Texas and LSU are two teams that I see them, if not in playoff, they’re gonna be right there.”
LSU will hope that Meyer, who won the CFP’s first championship following the 2014 season, is ultimately right about this team’s ceiling.
