The split may well be a three way tie at 1-1, especially with MSU playing at home twice.
The BYU-LSU game will be interesting to watch. The key will be LSU's inexperienced, undersized and suspect front seven vs BYU's OL composed of huge 27-year old mean grown men.
AND the performance of LSU's OL will also be closely watched, though they should be able to handle BYU's front seven individually, it remains to be seen how they will do against packages.
Both BYU and LSU are in a rebuilding mode. Like LSU, BYU also has to replace key players, but (believe it or not) skill players are easier to replace than the lines in the trenches and that is LSU's biggest question next year.
MSU is also going to be an unknown next year. BUT... I think their lines will be pretty solid, lots of transfers, JR college players.
If LSU cannot shore up their defense, their supposedly revamped offense won't matter. What I mean is.. right now LSU has one player in their front seven on defense and one on the OL who would definitely (?) start for ... oh... let's say ... Auburn... Does that fact help explain the question marks?

We heard this same crap from you about LSU's defense all last offseason. Especially about the front seven.
Yet LSU still somehow was able to give up the fewest TDs in all of college football last year.
Go figure.

Overstated, but not totally wrong. LSU's linebackers are relatively young, but White and Divinity played a lot last year. Alexander is undersized, but he has added weight. Plus we return sixth year senior Thompson to back up Divinity, and we add two very talented freshmen in Phillips and Taylor who will play a lot from game 1.
But the point about BYU's offensive line is correct. I tracked down this Athlon article:
quote:
The offensive line has the potential to be the Cougars’ best since becoming an independent in 2011. The roster boasts 15 scholarship athletes along the offensive line, which is music to Sitake’s ears. Last year, BYU only had seven offensive linemen during the spring, which impacted not only what Sitake and his staff were able to do but also how they approached the spring game. Numbers shouldn’t be a problem this year.
BYU Spring Preview
But if you read the article, you will also learn that BYU lost most of its offensive production from last year's 9-win team. QB, RB, three WRs... these guys accounting for like 90% of their yards and points last year.
So, BYU will have its own issues to deal with, especially with a new QB and new WRs. I would hate to try and work those issues out against LSU's secondary. I don't even care if their offensive coordinator won the Heisman.
Donte Jackson, Kevin Toliver, Saivion Smith, John Battle, Ed Paris, Eric Monroe, Xavier Lewis, Cam Lewis, Kristian Fulton, Greedy Williams, Jacoby Stevens, Grant Delpit, Kary Vincent, Todd Harris.
LSU has DBs for days. LSU is DBU. Good luck BYU.

If LSU goes 1-1 vs. BYU and MSU, then obviously we aren't going to beat Alabama, Auburn, Florida or Tennessee either. So that would be at least five losses. You predicting five losses for LSU this year? I'm not saying it can't happen, but that would definitely be a surprising prediction.

We are actually getting a dline starter back that was hurt last year. I think we are fine there.
I'm more worried about replacing Adams and white in the secondary. I don't think any of the current dbs are on their level yet.
