For the LSU football team, all tangible goals are off the table: The Tigers are eliminated from the SEC title race and the College Football Playoff. However, there still should be some motivation for LSU in Saturday's home game against Vanderbilt. Snapping a three-game losing streak and building some momentum into the offseason are important.
