This isn't true but I'll help you anyway.
Arkansas will be average at best.

To not expose themselves on the field or be caught selling dope while disguised as nuns. Anything beyond that would be gravy.

the first six are solid. the last three not so much. one is a TE. one is a RFr in '19. played some in '18, not much though. one is a Jr that has hardly seen the field. they combined for five catches last year.
here's LSU's top six
Jordan Jefferson - 54 recs - 16.2 avg
Steven Sullivan - 23 recs - 15.8 avg
Jamar Chase - 23 recs - 13.6 avg
Derrick Dillon - 22 recs - 14.0 avg
Dee Anderson - 20 recs - 13.7 avg
Terrace Marshall - 12 recs - 16.0 avg
I bet those numbers match up pretty good to gators top six. That's five with 20 or more catches and three with over 15 yard avg.
How bout you put gators numbers so we can compare?

He won’t. I already checked. They don’t compare. Maybe the top 4, but even that’s a stretch

We were horrible last year, and somehow managed to lose 3 OL to the NFL. Our starting center in 2019 didn't play center last year. As others have pointed out, we have a ton more depth this year, so that should help.
Unfortunately, I think it will still be a huge weakness for us. It's the main reason I'm predicting 4-8 as opposed to 6-6.

I don't think the Vandy OL will be a liability, but they're thin. Injuries could make things dicey. My best guess is that it is better than normal for Vanderbilt but nothing special. They won't be road grading SEC DLs, but they probably won't be getting shoved into the QB's lap consistently either.

USC's OL will be "good" - our starting unit will be strong, but overall the depth has only 1 senior and 2 juniors - with 1 of those jrs being a walk-on who got substantial snaps as back-up Center. The depth behind them are predominantly sophomores and freshman, so they are mostly unproven.
So a big concern will be any injury attrition to the starting OL we may suffer. Coach Muschamp has repeatedly stated that this year's iteration of the OL is the most athletic and physical of any he's had at USC, but it wasn't clear if he was talking about the starting unit, or overall....

You would be correct if you were referring to Oregon. Return an incredible 153 career starts. Ranked #1 in Phil Steele's OL Unit Rankings. He ranks UGA #2, Auburn #5, and Bama #6.

Crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of the women.
Ok, so I see a UGA fan beat me to this Conan the Barbarian quote.

Lost 2 (I think) starters from last year's OL
We lost Little and Patterson to the draft and Rawlings to graduation. Givens is expected to miss at least the first game while he recovers from back surgery. That leaves Brown as the only returning starter against Tiger High.

Not one of our starters is proven in the sec. However they’ve all been in the program at least 3 years. Physically they should all be ready. If we can get to average it would be a huge step forward.

Amazing, again, and keeping our greek God of a quartback up right and erect to pound every one into oblivion - as usual.

The best way to describe our line would be "expereinced". We should be in the top half of the conference based alone on what we return. Now, we basically have 5 Guards playing across the line. No true tackles which is sure to cause problems against elite pass rushers. Coach O did say our tackles, Charles and Deculus, have improved tremendously since the Spring. Wait and see.

Forgot about Rawlings. Hopefully our second unit can hold it down vs. the Tigers

No it isn’t and when you post things like that it just causes people to ignore any other points you make.
This isn't true. LSU Does have a Top 3 WR corps in the SEC. with a ton of depth.
You said WR was a weak spot for LSU, and when you post things like that it just causes people to ignore any other points you make.
Also, you need to get your head out of your rectum. You aren't know a lot about LSU football it seems anyway. Don't talk down to people because they disagree with you.
