re: LSU Has 14 of 22 Starters Returning and 34 of 44 on the 2-Deep?

The issue is that LSU's offense sucks and barring unforseen changes will continue to suck into the immediate future. They rely on their defense to win games, a defense that is losing up to seven starters.

Combine these facts with Les Miles' long history of poor in-game management and I believe an honest LSU fan would be hardpressed to not have some concern.

A combination of incredible defense and a good number of fortuitous bounces have carried LSU for a while now. Even if the defense is just "good" next year, they could lose 4-5 games.
