Saturday thoughts

Here is what concerns me about the LSU football team as the final month of the regular season begins.

This team is playing with little confidence.

For a team that is ranked in the top-20, that won a national championship last year, you'd expect a little more swagger. But it isn't there right now. Granted, the Florida and Georgia losses took something away. Still, this is a team that doesn't look confident in what it is doing right now.

And that's not a good thing.

LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee appears to be getting worse, not better. The defense still has its issues.

LSU needs to get its swagger back -- and soon.
