Their starting quarterback would rather make half the money just to not play there. Tells you all you need to know.

Wrong. So many on here wishing this to be true without any real depth of knowledge or analytical ability. Our lines are deep and versatile. LB and DB corps are the deepest this century - even without All American Jermod McCoy to start the season. QB, WR and TE are ready to roll much better than any time since Hooker and company in 22. But bet the house your way - you know best.

You guys really don't believe the NCAA's leader in passing yards these past two years can't do better than Mr. Less than 200 yards per SEC game Nico-I-Am-Too-Scared-To-Throw-It-Deep?

This is Heupel's most stacked team talent wise since he's been here and it's not even close.

There are some question marks at oline and WR with experience, but that's it. Even those positions are loaded with young talent as well. Everywhere else is stacked.

I think this board is going to be shocked at how much better our passing game is going to be this year. Nico wasn't just bad, he was anemic basically. A total non factor for us in almost every single game. It was all the defense and Sampson.

We have two running backs who have Sampson like potential this year. Last year I told everyone that Sampson was going to break records but no one listened. I'm telling you know that Peyton Lewis, Desean Bishop and Star Thomas are special as well.

Heuple and his staff have done an amazing job at identifying legit RB talent early on.

If JA can match his passing production from App State and cut is interceptions down by 70 percent we are going to be the team to beat this year in the SEC.

I just saw that moron Josh Pate list Florida and Oklahoma as playoff contenders over Tennessee.

Sunbelt Billy and Venerables will never win jack sh#t in this conference. Both are totally incompetent as head coaches.

If you mean playoff to non-playoff, sure. But I expect them to regress 2 regular season games and expect there will be someone else that regresses more.


P.S. Dang you for making me defend Tennessee…yuck

Closer to 1/3 before taxes. After taxes he will live on about 500K. Just because he miscalculated his own self worth and his worth to the Vols.

What’s the plan if LSU takes a small, reasonable step back and go 7-5?

Clemson is a L.
Florida with a healthy QB is an L
@Ole Miss, @ Bama, @ Okie easily 1-2
USC, TAMU, Arky 2-1

8-4 or 7-5 looking like solid possibilities for LSU. Are yall ok with that?

No one saw 2022 coming just like no one is seeing this year coming. Our running game is going to be absolutely lethal and our defense will be the best it's been since the Chavis days.

All that JA has to do is hit 2 to 3 50/50 deep balls a game and we are going to be dominant because of our defense and running game.

We all know that our offense creates busted coverages and play breakdowns resulting in a few WRs sprinting down field wide open every game. Nico couldn't see them and when he did he would over throw it consistently.

JA just has to hit those and a few slants each game and it's a wrap. He will because he doesn't suck like Nico.

I was tempted to put Bama in there but how much worse could it get?

How about one team that will still not make the playoffs this coming season due to coaching? I would point that one out to be LSU.
