I mean that is the big question, but we have plenty of talent, and new, apparently better coaches, so I'm hoping for the best.

Why would we want him if he can't beat out a younger player? Our QB room is 3 deep.
That kid under Kiffin would be better than any of those 3 on staff right now. If he enters the portal, Kiffin will pursue him hard

Talent and watching what Kiffin has produced with lesser of it. Kiffin to me is probably the best QB coach in the nation. The only one you could argue that is better is Lincoln Riley

Why do you think Austin Mack is more talented than the 3 guys already on the roster?

Ignore me. I had them mixed up in my head for whatever reason.

I was thinking Russell was Mack and Mack was Russell

I suppose anything is possible, but he's going into his 4th year and has yet to win a starting job.

No worries, bro, I was wondering if I missed something on Mack

I agree though, Russell is very talented from everything I've read and heard. I'd rather someone a little older but also understand that Bama probably has to play him or he starts looking around.

When you asked me the second time why I thought he was more talented I stopped and thought “am I fricking crazy or is he completely oblivious?” so I looked them up

I agree they’re probably throwing him out there a little early but to keep him happy and get experience, it makes sense. Because their staff probably knows he won’t be amazing this year but he will be eventually.

Matt Moscona is always amazing. Just a true LSU man through and through. He nailed the whole Bryce Underwood thing in that clip. Truly LSU’s next great. I expect great things from him in the purple and gold.
