I'd be happy with 10 wins and being in contention for the west.

Specifically, our passing game might struggle a bit this year, but I expect our secondary and linebacking corps to perform much better than they did last year.

This season, I could realistically see either 10-11 wins with a shot at the playoffs, or 8-9 wins.
It all hinges on QB play.

I agree. We will need to utilize the TEs and RBs more in the passing game.

I expect a ten win season every year. Anything more and I'm happy. Anything less, I'm mad.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's considered a major bowl now. Just the semi's? All 6 of the rotating sites?

I expect we'll see more of this. We definitely have the talent there.

My expectations are to be very good with a realistic shot to win the West. Our fate seems to be with QB play this year which we are pretty used to around here. Another thing we are used to is that we will kicked the shite out of A&M, I have enjoyed adding a guaranteed win to our schedule recently.

I can't remember the last time a LSU TE had a significant impact in the UA games.

Who would you like as Head Coach if Miles for some reason left or didn't perform up to expectations? Choose a realistic candidate. Please don't make Texas-type boasts.


After Miles retires, someone that'll get along with Cam Cameron, John Chavis, and Frank Wilson.

2010. DeAngelo Peterson.

An LSU TE has not been a week-to-week consistent factor since Richard Dickson, though. With all respect to the guys we've had, we just haven't had a lot of talent there.

1. I do not want anyone as HC at LSU other than Les Miles. Les fits us perfectly.

2. I want LSU to win 10 games at least every year. I want LSU to contend for SEC titles in most years but I do not expect it every year.

I think 2014 is going to be a challenge for LSU, but we'll be back on top in 2015 and 2016.

robert royal 2001 or deangelo peterson 2010

Dickson was money in 2007 as well. had a few big catches early

LSU with a dominant TE scares me. You guys would have been lethal with someone like OJ Howard on last years team.

That one day we will play Mizzou. That is, when there is a Head of SEC Scheduling who is not a graduate of Tuscaloosa High.....

Pretty sure the guy who makes the SEC schedule went to State.

We actually will have 3-4 guys at TE that could be very effective in the passing game, and I think it will be almost out of necessity.

Most of the receivers that will be playing this fall are either not on campus yet, or are injured and sitting out of spring practice. It'll be a long season if we don't see a little versatility in the passing game.

Careful what you wish for. Right now, Mizzou owns the current Mizzou/LSU rivalry. For now...
