re: Besides Alabama fans, who can state the best case for their team to win the SEC this year?

I think he is taking some things that were said yesterday at Canada’s and Aranda’s press conference metaphorically a little too literally. Nonetheless, LSU is loaded at the running back position. Not to mention that in a lot of Coach Canada’s offensive plays, there are three options, but not in the sense that they are all run options.

Returning 38 receptions in your receiving corps is loaded? That's being optimistic not realistic

Well according to Coach O and Coach Canada, the wide receiver corps in fall camp overall made the most progress. There are some very tall and some very gifted athletes in that receiver corp. Nonetheless, currently there is still a lot of room for improvement and growth as it is still very much a work in progress, but I look for that aspect of LSU’s offense to steadily improve as the season progresses.

Moreover, according to Coach Canada, Danny Etling has improved quite significantly during fall camp because he is finally healthy. Coach Canada says you can see it in his mobility and in the velocity, accuracy, and consistency of his throws, which have all significantly improved along with his level of confidence. In addition, last season Danny Etling was never nearly as mediocre as a lot of people made him out as being. Furthermore, he won most of the games he has started since he has become the first-string quarterback at LSU. Not to mention, that last year LSU had one of its most prolific offenses, after Miles was fired, that it had in a long time and Danny quarterbacked it.

Also, overall our offense should even be better than it was last year if Coach Aranda’s opinion means anything. Moreover, the new offense is designed to keep defenses back on their heels and guessing, which is exactly what we need to do to defeat Alabama.

Both corners are very fast, very experienced, and very good. Indeed, they both will be drafted next April. Nonetheless, the strength of the defense according to Aranda is all the LB/DEs that he can employ this season to put pressure on the QBs. In addition, our defensive line starters are all very solid and poised for a good season, and the two guys that are going to play inside linebacker for us this season are two studs that are going to open up a lot of eyes this season, and we also have some very capable backups as well. So, sunshine or not, our defense should be elite level again like it was last year again.
