re: Give an honest assessment of your team going into the season

LSU, offensively I think a lot will ride on the QB and OL play. Really talented at the skill positions, but does LSU have a QB that can consistently get the ball to his wideouts, and can the OL give the QB enough time?

Defensively, I think they're going to surprise a lot of people. DL will be nasty, and the secondary I believe is underrated and has some really good pieces. LB play is a question, I think the floor is high there, but the ceiling is unknown. Does Mike Jones live up to the hype he had coming in? Does Harold Perkins take one of the two LBer spots early?
