Damn some of you LSU folks are annoying. LSU is going to be a very good team but you have a lot working against you.

1. You lost to Clemson in the Chicken Bowl. This is the same Clemson that USC had just thumped at Clemson.

2. You lost A LOT of folks from last year. Do you have talent to replace it? Sure, but there is a lot of unknowns when you replace so much.

3. The difference between Top 3 and Top 6 in the SEC could be a bounce of the football. 3 losses probably puts you at 6.

4. A lot of people outside of BR are very skeptical that you can just hire an OC that was fired from the NFL for sucking and expect your offense to magically be fixed.

5. LSU has a ridiculously tough schedule this year with as many as 5 games that will be as tough as Clemson and easily the toughest in the SEC. Georgia, Florida, A&M, Bama, and even TCU are going to be very tough games. I also wouldn't sleep on the road trip to Oxford the week after playing Florida.

6. The good news (if you want to call it that) is LSU will get every chance to prove just how good they are this year due to that schedule.

Defensively perhaps, but returned plenty.

3 losses in the regular season is a wasted season.

Fair criticism.

Clemson was only tough because of the circumstances around it, not because of the team we played.

Seems like that is exactly what I said in my OP
