Josh Pate on LSU’s 2024 outlook

LSU has two defensive tackles. Having an adequate defense is a pipe dream.

Didn't do any homework on our new DC did ya? Base package is typically a 3-3-5.

frick Josh Pate.

You're wasting your time talking logic to the naysayers. I've been saying it is almost a given that Paris Shand will move to DT. Mike Detillier said the same thing. And S Jones is not fast enough at his weight to be on the end anymore. But hey, these people who keep acting like LSU doesn't have any options at DT don't understand football very well.

LSU will have a legitimate rushing attack next year.

I think LSU is going to do a lot better than people are thinking.

Exactly. It's like people think we don't have actually quality position coaches now. Our previous group made us look like our players suck. One of the biggest names at the senior bowl is Bo Davis's DT. You think he can't do something with Guillory, Lee, and the big bodies at DE that should be moved inside? Dude has a 5 star DT coming in and 1, if not 2 JUCO DL coming in. They will get all that sorted out by game time.

Our schedule is a godsend too. A Saban less Bama coming to LSU, Ole Miss coming to LSU AFTER LSU is on bye, and Oklahoma coming to LSU. UCLA has to travel to LSU early in the season, and our hardest true road game is TAMU (which could be a loss).

Let’s not pretend there aren’t plenty of question marks. Even if those guys move inside there is no guarantee they can play DT well enough. Bodies is not the same as guys who can play well. It’s a possible stop gap though. I still expect at least one promising transfer.

If Guillory and Lee anre our starting DT’s next year we are in trouble. I like Shand, but he needs to add a lot of strength to play 1 or 3 tech in the sec. We need at least 2, but probably 3 DTs from the portal.

LSU is going to develop a pretty diverse running attack next year. Run game will make the offense hum because the receivers and qb are already really good.

We know you’ve been saying it and it meeps making you sound dumb. Having to move DE to DT isn’t a good thing.
