they were very close to winning 10-11 games.


On the flip side, they were very close to losing a total of 7 games. I hope I'm wrong about my 6-6 to 8-4 prediction, I really do.

I'm not sure I'd bet the farm that LSU will be better at the QB spot than they were last year. Also, I don't think it will matter how much the O-line improves... if a team in the SEC is determined to stop the run, more times than not, it will. LSU will have to get better than better production from the QB spot for the team to improve as a whole. If you're one-dimensional in the SEC, you're likely no better than a 6-6 team.

Even though the defense wasn't half-bad last year, their capabilities were limited due to the time spent on the field. I don't see how that will change this year (without good QB production) even if there is improvement there, as well. LSU's offense must be able to sustain drives; a constant stream of 3-and-outs will kill the best of defenses.

and bama was very close to losing to lsu and tenn and auburn....but they didn't. Also, I don't see seven games they were close to losing. they only won 9 games, and i know for a fact they were comfortably ahead of washington, tulane, auburn, ULL and Vandy. Yes they were close against tech, but that game was not in doubt at the end. Also, they were close against State and didn't lose, as they were georgia and arkansas. To me that is four games they won that they could have lost, and there were 4 games they lost that they could have won.

and yet lsu was one dimensional last year and went 9-3 and should have been even better......you are not making sense. they will be a lot better on defense this year due to a much better pash rush. Sheppard and Randle will come up big time this year, as will ford. sheppard will be a game changer either at slot, wild tiger, or special teams.
