re: LSU's 2013 Offense

Just remember this.

It's basically the same offense that put up OVER 400 yards on bama last year. The MOST bama gave up in conference all year.

Only this year it's a year more experienced. It's a year stronger. Those two freshmen on the right side of the O-line aren't freshmen anymore. It's an offense that has a QB with a year's starting experience under his belt.

It's an offense that returns it's top four WRs. It's an offense that returns it's top two rushers. Plus, the returning starter from the start of the '12 season.

It's an offense that greatly upgraded itself at OC.

Just remember this.

It's basically the same defense that led the nation in quite a few categories last year. The BEST defense in the nation, most would say.

Only this year it's a year more experienced. It's a year stronger. Those first year guys in the secondary? None this year sans Landon Collins. Everyone who will play significant minutes in Bama's secondary played many significant minutes last year. It's a defense that as an Insider Linebacker entering his 4th year as a "starter".

It's a defense that returns 3 of the top 4 Corners. It's a defense that returns it's best Safety, as well as two more who played all of last year. Plus, the defense returns a starter (and a backup who played valuable minutes last year) at every LB position.

It's a defense that will mirror 2011 much more than it will mirror 2012.
