re: LSU football will surprise a lot of people this fall

Congratulations on being a top 10 defense again. Do you think LeSU will have a top 10 defense with Kevin Steele?

Not that you merit a serious answer but here goes: John Chavis is undoubtedly a great defensive coach. However, I found our defense lacked intensity at the line over the last few years and complacency had set it in a bit and we lost our attacking nature. I think that with the talent we have Kevin Steele will have no problem carrying on the tradition with the help of Ed Orgeron's fire and intensity. So I think we'll be fine without Chief and you'll be the better for having him, but suffering we're not. We'll see as the season kicks off and progresses...but we're still going to kick Aggie's arse as usual.
