LSU's Improved Offense Makes Them a Bigger Threat This Year

LSU is fifth in the conference in yards per play. Last year LSU finished 9th.
LSU is finally getting the offensive production it needs to round out its team. If these trends hold or improve, LSU is going to be a strong contender for the conference crown. LSU might run the ball a lot (understatement), but they are very explosive, almost 6.8 yards a play.
The defense has, predictably, taken a step back. The hope is that LSU having a top half offense will offset their defense only being top 3 or so.

Agreed. I expect LSU to win the conference with only one loss.

LSU's offense is getting better due to LF. But 4th and Steele could be an issue.

Not a single one of your fans predicted what the rest of the entire conference told you... LF7 can carry the team on his back though so its okay.

Running plays don't count.

What makes LSU scary is the other teams know that Fournette is getting the ball. They load the box and Fournette still goes off. I understand that Cuse, Moo U and Auburn are not world beaters, but these are not FCS schools. If Harris can put it all together before November, LSU will win the SEC. If not, it will still be a good season but we probably lose 2.

I think a lot of folks are gonna disagree 
You haven't really played a defense with a pulse yet, needed special teams to bail you out against Syracuse, etc. Your numbers seem a little inflated on those basis.
But LF is good for 150-200 against an nfl defense so he is going to get his. But at some point I think most will agree you are going to have to show you have more than just one superstar.

I'm not sure if I agree with the D taking a step back. We are generating alot more pressure on the QB. We are on pace to obliterate our sack total from last year. We also have one of our staring corners out. We have given up alot of yards in the 4th, however that's from running prevent to stop a long TD bomb late.

Stats against Auburn's defense should not qualify.

That average is propped up by Fournette's long runs. When I was watching the Syracuse game your QB was like 4 of 20 and those completed passes were easy, safe ones.
I don't see that your offense is any better. Fournette is the one that is better--at least against lousy defenses.

LF is your horse and you have to ride him, while I haven't seen much of y'all this year, I have seen enough to know that if Les let's Harris throw a little more he can be very good, he was fairly accurate and had a nice touch on what I've seen. If he can put it all together at game speed y'all will be really dangerous. I think by the later part of the season y'all will be throwing a bit more not because you have to but because you can. Good luck to y'all against everyone but A&M

You mean your improved Leonard Fournette?

Florida will make you throw. Ole Miss will make you throw. Bama will make you throw. Arky will make you throw. LSU has to establish a passing game. Right now, they lead only 4 wishbone teams in passing in the FBS.
