LSU's Dline returns three starters and all the backups from last year. Top that off with one of if not the best haul of recruits in the SEC. The fourth returning starter from the Dline is now a starting OLB in LSU's new 3-4 base "D".

Tigers returning Dline accounted for 174 tackles - 16 sacks and 24.5 TFLs. Key and Bower, both former DEs are now OLBs and their numbers aren't included here.

Now how bout you tell us all about that elite and deep bama Dline. Don't forget to mention that two of top four reserves had a COMBINED total of TWO tackles for their 15 game season.

I would also rate the tigers secondary as BEST in the SEC.

In case you were wondering LSU also returns MORE tackles at the LB position.

Great, Bama will get to abuse those same weak players again this year.

Just because you return a bunch of players doesn't mean that they are better than a team that doesn't return as many starters.

Vandy returns all of their defense does that mean they're better than LSU.

Even better, now players in are position they've never played and in a new scheme. Growing pains will be obvious when watching Bam man handle them again.


Bama has better players returning, recruited better players this past year and the 5+ previous years.

Again, just because you return a lot of players doesn't automatically mean that you will be better than a team who isn't returning as many, especially a team that embarrassed and beat you down.
