no, not really.


You lost your two starting DTs, Ferguson and Johnson, to the NFL.

LSU's secondary and DL will both be strong.


If a few unproven players step up, yes.

LSU has rotated 8 or more guys on the line for years. Being a starter on DL doesn't mean you were the only guy that played the year prior. And how many times has a "backup" DL come in as a 1st year starter and played as good or better than the guys they replaced? Johnson and Ferguson were a 1st year starters last year. Downs and Logon were first year starters in 2012. You must not have followed LSU football for very long if you think replacing DL has ever been an issue.

Replaced by Rasco (senior) and Hunter (junior) of whom both have had significant playing time.

LBs are Louis (junior), Welter (junior), and Alexander (senior).

the only unproven players on D is Welter due to having a pretty mediocre year, and Ricky Jefferson at SS. Welter is a junior and Jefferson is a sophomore.
