The LSU Tigers were shut out at home on Saturday night, falling to No. 1 Alabama 29-0.
However, with three games left in the regular season, the Tigers still have a lot to play for and some lofty goals within reach.
On Monday, QB Joe Burrow said LSU still has a real shot at a 10-2 record, which many would have thought was a great record at the start of the year:
Joe Burrow: "If we win these next three, we’re going to be 10-2. If we’d have told you guys we’d be 10-2 at the beginning of the season, you’d have told us we were crazy. We still have a very successful season potentially ahead of us."

Burrow added that a New Year’s 6 bowl game is probably the Tigers’ biggest goal at the moment, but said he and his teammates need to focus on what’s in front of them each day:
Joe Burrow on the potential of a NY6 bowl: "That’s what we’re playing for. It does sit in the back of our mind, but if you focus on that, you can lose track of the day to day, and you can’t do that because you don’t get better. If we don’t get better, we’re going to lose a game."

The Tigers travel to Arkansas on Saturday night, host Rice in Week 12 and then travel to Texas A&M — a team that hasn’t beaten the Tigers since joining the SEC — to close out the regular season.
As Burrow says, 10-2 is a real possibility still, and that would be pretty great for a team some thought would go 6-6 this fall.
