Holy shite, LSU is going to be even worse.

It’s not necessarily that LSU will be statistically worse in talent than last year. However, teams do not stand on their own “talent,” but exist as a comparative to other teams.

Next year, I think LSU will have a competitive team approximately equal with six mid-pack SEC teams, better than two or three, out matched in “talent” by 5-6 SEC schools. The kicker is their schedule has almost no “gimme” games other than the patsies.

As I’ve posted previously, LSU has more than returning talent problems to overcome. They also have new coaches, plans, schemes, terminology, organization, players from everywhere, a QB who hasn’t played in two years,etc. LSU could be a solid team and still lose to both FSU and State, two of first three on schedule. Then what?

I think if Kelly goes 7-5 his first year it is an accomplishment.
