re: LSU's 2013 Offense

quote:

---

It lost almost half it's starters

---

Mosley/DePriest? Back. Both played the most snaps at ILB.

Dickson/Hubbard? Back. Starters at Jack and Sam, plus Devall is back and got more and more PT as the year went on.

Ed Stinson, started last year, best DL statistically.

Pagan? Rotated with Square, most would agree he outperformed him at times and he has more natural talent.

Ivory? Rotated with Jesse, but a clear drop off.

Belue? Started all 14 games, got better late, had a good Spring, prime to make the second year in Saban's defense Secondary jump.

Fulton? Played in and out last year until he got hurt, was rather good when he played, especially in press.

Smith? From the A&M game on played Star, had PT late in games before that, but had 5 good games of Star play.

HaHa? Led team with 5 picks, started last year.

Sunseri? Started last year at different positions, won't play Star this year, which is where he kept getting abused at.

Perry? Was meh last year, but played in Dime and sometimes in other packages. Experienced Senior who has a good Spring.

It's not the same defense, no. But it returns a lot of experience everywhere, especially at LB and DB.
