Getting back Locker is impossible to quantify for Washington. The physical and emotional pulse of this program, he gives the Huskies a chance to do the improbable. He’s also surrounded by a talented group of untapped skill position players, like RB Chris Polk and receivers D’Andre Goodwin and Jermaine Kearse, who should blossom with the help of a better triggerman. They’ll be facing an LSU defense that isn’t as nasty or impenetrable as in recent years. The Tigers sprung countless leaks during the regular season, prompting Les Miles to hire former Tennessee coordinator John Chavis.



While the LSU defense may be better, it won't be the wall that it was back in 2003 when you guys beat Oklahoma!

yes and the parties responsible for that disaster are gone. The talent from those "nasty" years remain.

I'm thinking Washington won't move the ball so well when Chad Jones drops another huge sideline hit on Locker ala USC.

So let me get this straight. You guys aren't the same offensive team you were last year, because you have a new coach who's an offensive genius. LSU, on the other hand, is presumed to be the same team as last year on defense, notwithstanding the presence of a new DC, a new defensive backfield coach and a new defensive line coach. OK. But this doesn't do much to overcome the general perception that three generations of substituting drugs for food has significantly impaired the reasoning ability of folks living on the left coast.

True, but the 03 D really was a wall and even fun to watch.

Still, LSU's defensive problems last year were mostly in the passing game, running and option teams generally had a rough go of it. Just as Ga Tech.

I don't share the feelings of invincibility that some posters seem to reflect. I can recall how irritating it was in the 2007 MNC when the Ohio State fans treated LSU like we didn't belong in the game...well, we all know how that turned out...but with that said, I still think we win but maybe by a closer margin than some think. Frankly, LSU has better talent, more speed, and more experienced coaching. Also, in re-watching most of last year's games, it became clear that our defense was utterly confused, yet because of sheer talent and speed, we won games. But for mistakes on offense, we should have won the Bama game and should have won the Ark. game. What I'm saying, we had a defense that was out of position, totally confused, but still were in the game with a Bama team that was undefeated. Why? Pure talent. Now this year, we've got coaching, understanding of schemes, proper alignments, great coaching on offense and defense AND talent. I think that's where the confidence comes from.

How the hell do you or anyone else make that statement. Noone in 2003 new going in the defense would be as good as it turned out to be. The biggest reason our defense sucked last year was because of a dumbass decision to use to DC's. Had nothing to do with the talent. Now we have a proven nationally recognized DC who has more talent to work with than he did at Tennessee at anytime in the last 6 years or so. We have talent all over the defensive backfield, talent at LB and while unproven a defensive line made up highly recruited players who all have experience. I expect to give up some yards but unfortunately for you this defense will have a chip on its shoulder.

Ya'll starting right side of the OL is brand new. Neither the RG nor RT has been in a college football game as an offensive lineman.

Good luck with that.
