But we did lose 3 major cogs in Porter, Moore, and Nealy.


Lose your run stoppers and main quarterback rushers. That's huge.

Our secondary is vastly improved


Didn't Louisiana Tech pass for like 500 yards against your secondary. Again, yall lose Moore. The main guy who was pressuring the QB all the time.

Heck, Mett missed about 5 open LSU wide recievers that had good separation from your secondary 25 yards down field. SEC is not a passing conference so they were not exposed like they should have been.

All in all I expect our D to be a little worse than last year


Yall finished 9th in the SEC in total defense. Ok, I'll give you this statement.

quote:

our O to be a little better



I think your offense will drop a little from last year. Yall lose 2 offensive lineman and Ryan Swope. Plus, the SEC will not be surprised this season by your "Big 12" style offense. The defenses will be ready for JFF. Still might not stop him but they will slow him down better.

We had players suspended that game. It was an anomaly. And agreed that SEC didn't exploit our secondary as much as the B12 had in previous years.

Line will be still among best in the nation a step below where it was last year. A very small step. The C is replaced by another Matthews. RT J Mathews moves to LT, LG Ogbuehi moves to RT (natural T and will be LT next year. Some have long believed he could have most upside of Joeckel, Matthews, and he) and we'll insert a new starter at LG.

At WR we'll be green. But there's a lot of talent there.

And I put 0 credence into teams being ready for Johnny this time around. You just can't mimic him in practice unless you put Brett Favre on a motorcycle, as one coach put it. He's just going to be a thorn this year and then in 2014 everybody will take their frustrations out on our new QB
