How does that compare with what LSU is losing? And unless we have a look at what Oregon is replacing their departing starters with, let's not talk about what LSU has behind PP7, Ridley, Shepperd, Nevis, etc.

From another thread:

Oregon keeps their QB and RB, but losses most of their lineman and WRs.

From another post about Oregon:

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Thomas and L. James will both be Jr's next year.

On offense, it does look like they are losing two starting WRs (D.J. Davis and Jeff Maehl) as well as three offensive lineman (LT - Bo Thran, RG - C.E. Kaiser and C - Jordan Holmes).

On defense they are losing three of their defensive lineman (DE - Kenny Rowe, DT - Zak Clark and DT - Brandon Blair) two of their linebackers (MLB - Casey Matthews and WLB - Spencer Paysinger) and one cornerback (CB - Talmadge Jackson III).

Looks like they return six starters on offense and five starters on defense.

According to their depth chart it looks like there are a lot of Sophmores and Juniors on the team.

Casey Matthews on defense and Jeff Maehl on offense are big losses for Oregon.

LSU is losing one offensive lineman (LT - Joseph Barksdale) one wide reciver (WR - Terrance Tolliver) two defensive linemen (DT - Drake Nevis and DT - Pep Levingston) one linebacker (MLB - Kelvin Sheppard) and one cornerback (CB - Patrick Peterson) and a part time starter (S - Jai Eugene)

Looks like LSU will return nine starters on offense and seven starters on defense. The starters we lose on defense however are three big ones in PP, KS and Nevis. We also lose our kicker (Josh Jasper), punter (Helton) and kick returner (Patrick Peterson).

Since then, Ridley has declared for the NFL draft, so we lose him as well.
