re: LSU top defense in the country

quote:

You lost a 2nd round RB and WR. There wasn’t an influx of talent on the offensive line.

This.
Top 5 skill players from last year are gone.
The first year with a new offensive system.
A QB with no real experience, playing against much better defenses than he ever faced previously.
Seemingly talented (and big) WR, but with very little experience.
RBs that couldn't get on the field last year.
Good TE though.
