re: Does this year matter to LSU?

It's crazy Farmer bc LSU has literally won a minimum of 8 games since the year 2000. And now a lot of the pundits/vegas are setting the over/under below that. We have a difficult schedule, for sure, but we have had worse.

This feels a lot like 2011. Not that I think in any way shape or form that we will have the same results, but big time opening game, a lot of questions about offense. a lot of people questioning the coaching. Now the expectations were far higher that season (ranked 4 preseason compared to 24 this year), but a lot of people also don't remember that our "starting" qb was suspended indefinitely like a week before the season started and we were left with Jared "I hold the record for pick sixes" Lee. Now we have no idea what we have at qb and had big questions at running back as our leading returning rusher had 45 total carries the previous year.

SO to answer your question, of course the year matters. Our defense is going to be nasty. We will be in every game. But I have no idea what to expect. And tbh...I LOVE IT!
