J. Brady McCollough looks at the biggest storylines in college football ahead of the 2019 season.
Last year appeared to be the year that LSU could make its first College Football Playoff appearance. The Tigers, ranked third in the CFP rankings, hosted Alabama for what could have been one of those Richter-scale-shaking nights at Tiger Stadium. Instead, only LSU’s team was shook, taking a 29-0 whipping from the Crimson Tide that will sting until Orgeron — or some future head coach — can beat Nick Saban.
The jury is still out on Orgeron. He is such a dynamic recruiter that it’s hard to imagine he would not have had USC cranking out top-five classes, and he’s doing just fine in that regard in his native state. But it takes a lot more than recruiting to win in the SEC West, with Saban, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn as the competition and Georgia establishing its dominance in the East.
The word is that last year’s continued offensive struggle — particularly in that one game that matters most — have brought a modern offensive plan to the Bayou. Senior quarterback Joe Burrow has the ability to run a spread offense, and he would have plenty of skill position talent around him. But we’ll believe it when we see it.Orgeron isn’t on the hot seat, so to speak, but if the Tigers don’t fare well in their marquee early game at Texas on Sept. 7, the doubters will begin to beat the drum.
Always, it comes back to Saban for LSU. His lordship over the Tigers is the reason that USC fans should not have to look back on 2013 and Orgeron with too much regret.
