LSU returns 16 starters from an 8-5 team. They have an easier schedule than last year. How will they not improve?

Is there a coaching metric involved?

Their offense has not been very impressive for several years so it may be difficult for them to score on teams with a decent defensive front. In my estimation the defense will be worse following a downgrade in coaching.

2 years ago the offense broke records. In Cameron's first year...

We lost our QB, receivers, starting RB and offensive lineman last year.

Try again

If you really can't see any way that LSU can improve from last season, then you aren't being impartial. Chavis was a good coordinator, but that's it. LSU always has ridiculous talent to go along with excellent position coaches, they'll be fine. Also, the qb situation could not possibly be any worse than last season.

ESPN must not watch college football. MSU returns 37 starters from last year and the greatest QB to ever step foot in Davis-Wade.....

All I can say when someone brings up our QB situation is to point to 2011 when we had 2 mediocre to terrible QBs. That team turned out to be one of LSU's best teams ever.

. Are LSU fans believing that they will win the west? This has baffled me all offseason.



Yes, me to. Lsu fans are winning the off season sunshine pumping award by a landslide.

Harrisiah at Qb, will turn the offense into one the best in the sec. They are the only team that will be better. Yada yada. Their sunshine pumping is out of this world.
