re: The Athletic predicts LSU will go 12-0 next season

The CBs aren't going to be green next year...Toriano has played a lot...Stamps has played a lot and hopefully will be healthy...Alexander was playing pretty darn good before got injured...Gilbert is a proven commodity...maybe an OSU CB can actually stay healthy...Yaites has good potential...don't know much about Hughes. I don't have much hope for Burns and Sage. As far as the DT position, won't take much to exceed a still recovering Maason Smith and a secretly injured Mekhi Wingo. Swinson fortunately will be back on one edge. Womack and Howard will be more of a factor. And wouldn't surprise me if Paris Shands didn't move inside to help out DT.

We are lacking at DL and CB. The defense HAS to be better than last year, but we have a 5 loss defense and a 1-2 loss offense.

People are being ridiculous. We are not lacking at CB. We now have talent, experience, and depth. Now with Raymond, we have a developer too. The corners will moat definitely be improved. LSU's real problem is that they don't have a definite starting interior DL, however I have faith in Bo Davis to get something together by the time fall practice rolls around.
