re: Ryan Day doing his best rtwfu

LSU brought back experience a QB, RB and Wrs running the same concepts on offense even with the Chase opt out

I'm talking about real gametime experience. The only one of those guys who played significantly last year was Terrace Marshall and he was the #3 receiver, also missed half the season due to injury.

---

They returned experience on Defense also with more than a few seeing minutes in the playoffs and 5 starters returning.

---

They only returned three starters on defense. Logan, Stingley, and Stevens. Stingley sprained his ankle early in the year and never really got healthy.

LSU was almost last in the country in returning production, without significant offseason work, a lot of position battles took place on the field.

LSU was probably the team in the SEC that needed a real offseason the most, replacing 17/22 starters is hard not to mention the 37 players who left overall.

ETA: There's also certain positions where experience is more valuable and most of those guys were gone. We had true freshmen quarterbacks most of the season, 4/5 offensive linemen were new (returner was the right tackle) so that unit had to gel, and 1/4 in the secondary (Stingley) and most of those guys were freshmen and sophomores with little to no college experience.
