Lots of talent returning in the trenches and skill positions. Fournette is elite. Aranda. Optimistic Harris will improve going into his junior year.

I just don't buy this. LSU got absolutely bullied in the trenches the entire month of November last year. They're obviously SEC caliber players- see September and October- but collectively it's hard for me to buy that they're really that talented based on how things played out at the end of last season. I mean, the consensus on this website prior to the Alabama game was that LSU had the best offensive line in the country, and then they got manhandled 3 times. I'm sure they've gotten better, but I won't assume everyone else in the league sat idly by while LSU improved

1. Return most starters and minutes in the country (or top 2?)
2. Brandon Harris natural maturation. Guy has all the physical tools, returns in the same system with same players around him, healthy, and has Cam on the sidelines. He doesn’t need to be an all-american, he just needs to be “pretty good”
3. Best duo of LSU running backs in a long, long time. Maybe ever.
4. Defense returns a ton including key positions like both CBs, S, MLB, and DL. Arden Key is going to be a freak at OLB.
5. Aranda is a MASSIVE upgrade at DC.
So a great running game, a great defense, and a ton of returning starters including at QB. We don’t need Cam Newton to win. We need good/average at QB and we’ll be very tough to beat.
That being said, we lose at least 1 regular season game. My guess is at Arkansas and maybe Bama. Both have our number.
