LSU football went into the 2023 season as a top-five team in the country and as two point favorites on the road in Orlando against the Florida State Seminoles, another top-ten team that returns more production from last season than nearly every other team in college football. But with LSU's talent, veteran leadership, and experienced head coach they deserved the preseaon hype and benefit of the doubt Week 1, right?
Wrong. LSU football was out-coached, out-toughed, and out-played on Sunday night at Camping World Stadium. Even though LSU went into the locker room up 17-14 at halftime, the Tigers still left points and opportunities on the field and did not do anything in the second half to help themselves. The Tigers looked lethargic, unmotivated, and unconfident in the second half and let the Noles score 31 unanswered points. Losing to a top ten team is not unacceptable; losing to a top ten team in the fashion LSU did is unacceptable, especially for a second year coaching staff that had all offseason to fix the problems that plagued the Tigers throughout the 2022 season that do not look resolved this year.
So what cost LSU the game? Who gets the blame and who should LSU fans point to to improve in order to move on from this loss and resurrect the season?
