re: Why is LSU so confident?

O-line along with our RBs (mainly Fournette) seem to be gelling. Passing game is lacking but the playmakers are there. If Jennings could learn to look off receivers or go through his progressions, it might actually be pretty good... But we aren't there yet. Jennings is a placeholder for Harris who won't start until next year unless aj gets injured.

Defense is vastly improved (middle was our weak spot) with the insertion of Beckwith as a starter and Jamal Adams getting real playing time.

Take Internet homers with a grain of salt but most LSU fans I know are hesitantly optimistic. As fans, we are watching a young team grow into its own, and they've shown a lot of heart this year picking themselves up off the ground from two early knockouts.

Bama is walking into a dangerous situation, but it's Bama, so you shouldn't be all that nervous.

If we don't get y'all this year, we'll get you next year.
