The guy who wrote this has continually poo poo'd LSU and Les Miles. Even in 2013, he had negative stuff to say about LSU.

Solid post.

LSU has a leg up on the defensive side just due to the experience the frosh LBs and DBs got last year. Less so with the line, but Freak and Rasco have been solid since they stepped on campus. And the Oline will be beastly this year. They're going to steamroll some D lines.

Like LSU under the radar, though.

I'll take us over TCU by 20. They're a shade of the Oregon team we beat after a tough offseason. As far as the rest of the season, I'll take 10-2 (Florida/UGA and Bama).

One year in the SEC and A&M is already higher than LSU in the pecking order?

LSU will be 11-1.

aTm and UF at home. And didn't Bama loose some people they needed as well?

UGA is the one that should make everyone nervous.

Reminds me of the 2011 season. Even after beating Oregon we were not getting much respect. No one thought we would go into Morgantown and beat WV.

I like where we are and I like being the underdog. Flying under the radar is right where I want to be.

The only teams that could win against us are Alabama and Georgia.

UGA lost tons of talent on D like we did, but they don't reload like we do. Both Jalens have plenty of talent and Tre White might even challenge for a spot. Outside LB spot is probably one of the best in the league, we just need someone in the middle. Defensive End position is the only real worry for me. I think Tashawn Bower or Frank Herron could take over one of the spots by midseason if things haven't jelled.

I'm not worried about the offense because we'll be fine there.

Are they saying UF based on the name alone? UF lost top D talent just like us and their best weapon on offense is gone. Good luck trying to beat us with that QB that was worse than Mett last year.

When Ole Miss beats us, that's when I'll worry about Ole Miss.

A&M is the Manziel show with a mediocre defense. Stop Manziel like last year (at home this time) and we win. What's funny is after Manziel leaves, they drop out of the elite picture all together.

With Bama, TAM, Florida, Georgia, TCU, and the rest of the SEC West on this year's schedule coupled with the unprecedented turnover on defense, this will be a very challenging year for LSU.

Anything more than 9-3 would be an absolute masterpiece for your coaching staff and team.

On the other hand, 8-4 would not be considered a disaster by any means.

LSU's recruiting program on the other hand seems to be hitting on all cylinders this year, and a Cameron designed and lead offense should make LSU every bit the match for Saban's defensive schemes in the future.

The future trend for LSU football couldn’t be any brighter.

If your young team loses four close competitive games this year, your fan base would be idiots to claim that a disaster.

Maybe I am giving your fan base too much credit. I don't know.

All possible losses. Would be very surprised if we go better than 9-3.


All possible wins imo. Bama isn't unbeatable. In fact we coukd have beaten them in 09, sabans onky undefeated season.

Hiw can other teans be getting better? People said that last year, but state, ark, aub, kentucky, tenn and muzzou were all worse.

Usce might nit be as good, sane wit uga at keast in d.

Uf still diesnt gave a qb and lost its best rb.

Just dont come on here and bash my team and coaches ifwe win 11+ games.

Welcome to the rant. Losing one game means Miles sucks, has lost control, and we are on a downward spiral.

This is a tweet that Gall recently put out there also.

So judging by
