Anyone who thinks LSU talent is equal to Alabama's is no a realist. Going strictly by the rankings of the recruits coming out of high school here is the breakdown on 5 stars.
QB Bama - 1 LSU 0
RB Bama - 3 LSU 1
OL Bama - 1 LSU 0
WR Bama - 2 LSU 2

DL Bama - 3 LSU 0
LB Bama - 3 LSU 0
DB Bama - 4 LSU 2
TE Bama - 1 LSU 0

This was based on last years team. Since then Alabama lost 2 five stars and added 3 five stars. LSU added 2 five stars. Not sure if LSU lost any. Bottom line is Bama has the most loaded roster in the nation.

Typical bama. It's all about the stars.

How bout we talk about returning PRODUCTION. That means players that have actually DONE SOMETHING. Nothing to do with high school. OK

Being the tide's claim to fame is "D" I'll start there.

LSU's
DL returns all three starters and 70 more tkls. Two very experienced subs.

LBs return two starters and two more with starting experience. Tigers return 25+ more tackles.

That's a combined 97 more tackles for the tigers. Don't forget that bama played 25% more games. OK.

combined front 7 returns 2.25 sacks per game and 3.8 tfl per game.

DBs return a total of 50 starts (6 different players) from last season. Secondary had 75 more tackles. bama did have more pics and passes defended but, they did have more opportunities.

LSU is bringing in the BEST defensive recruiting class in the SEC/country.

On offense tigers return nine starters.

A returning starting QB for the first time in a few years.

A 2,000 yard rusher and a very good group of seasoned and productive subs.

Like the tide three starting Olinemen.

Both starting WRs. bama had MUCH better production last year. Both LSU guys are very good though. Most underutilized players on the team.

Once you get to college it's not about how many stars behind a player's name. It's about production on the field.
