What has LSU done the last two years to expect anything different, especially with the losses along both lines of scrimmage.

Actually many people expect the OL to be better. Ciron ended up having his worst season and many disliked the interior line. Now it appears they a beefing up the line and changing out a player or two. Also this year we should have a more experienced depth chart as the OL group was young outside of about 2-3 guys. LSU had a lot of recruiting bust over a couple year span that finally caught up to last year.

Eventhough the DL loses a lot of experience the best guy IMO returns(Nevis). Also the DE position looks like it will feature some guys with more of a 3-4 NFL OLB frame.

I am not as worried about the defensive line as I think te group is going to be solid.

The OL is going to determine if LSU will be really good next year. If they can play to the level most expect typical LSU OL to play then we will be competing or Atlanta and a top 10 team. If not we will be a 8-10 win team.

Also LSU improved over 2008 in 2009. The team is definitely more stable now after dealing with RP, OL bust, poor DC hire.
