LSU's issues and concerns:
QB play : no explanation needed
WR inexperience : Diarse and Quinn transferred... Don't count catches made by RBs or TEs and you quickly see how few WR receptions are coming back.
LB depth : This is the biggest concern behind QB play imo.
DL inexperience: Valentine won't be in the middle so Lawrence and some others will be thrown in the fire ... That's asking a lot in this league.

th diarse and quinn transfers hurt depth but arent huge hits to on-field production. diarse was a decent 3rd receiver at times. quinn is probably 5th or 6th on the depth chart if he stays.

ok, fine

Uh, what?
Departing:
Diarse (28 catches, 412 yds career, 13/132 last season)
Quinn (22, 276 yds career, 5/83 last season)
Returning:
Dupre (57/1016, 43/698)
Dural (72/1436, 27/533)

Absolutely a concern. A bigger concern than QB play IMO. God forbid, if Beckwith goes down they're pretty screwed. Multiple freshmen in the 2-deep plus some less heralded recruits in the upper ranks.

LaCouture, Godchaux, Neal are all returning starters. The latter two of whom were excellent last season. Lac is solid in his own right.

Valentine I am thinking will be on the team this season. Unless there has been some new update.

LSU returns the two deep along the Dline. Key and Bowers can move from their new LB spots to DE rotation on passing downs if needed. Both have multiple starts under their belt. Two deep on the Dline are all Srs and Jrs. VERY EXPERIENCED group.
LB situation will be fine. As of now starting four consists of three Srs and one Soph. Two of the four made most everyone's All SEC team. Backups appear to be Sr, Jr, So and TWO very highly recruited true freshmen that were here in the spring. Might be new system but, top six LBs are all experienced players four have multiple starts under their belt.
All in all tigers lost two players on the front seven two deep, one starter and one backup.
Then there is also the fact LSU brought in the best defensive recruiting class in the SEC/country.
reggie I would think if you have these concerns about the LSU "D" then what ole miss lost must keep you up at night. Or maybe you sleep like a baby. Wake up every three hours crying till someone stuffs something in your mouth for you to suck.
rebs did lose the heart of their "D".
both starting DTs
both starting LBs
both starting safties
That's a lot to replace in this league.
