Fournette is being overrated a bit IMO. Not because he lacks talent, but because of the way Miles utilizes the RB's. I know LSU fans retort is they have Cameron now, so Miles isn't near as involved in the O. Based on several occasions last year, I would strongly disagree with that.

In regards to LSU's QB situation, it won't really matter. A good OL and a RB by committee, that is what Les will lean on. Harris/Jennings aren't going to be allowed to do much this yr. LSU is going to try to win games with a strong run game and a much improved defense.

I have LSU at 8 or 9 wins. Think that is pretty fair. '15 will be their year to compete on the National stage.

This is a good, honest assessment. I think 9-3 should be the expectation this year given what we've lost. Now, certainly the potential is there to go 11-1 or 12-0 but that really shouldn't be the expectation this year.

Kind of a weird thing to say considering Jeremy Hill was 17th in the country in rushing yards (1,401) and 11th in touchdowns (16)

What occasions would those be?
