re: When Will You Know if This Season Is Going to Be Special or Bumpy Ride?

For me:
- Show that we have enough passing to keep teams honest on D.
- Strong-to-dominant play up the middle on D (from DL-to-S)

When I see those, I'll be confident that '14 could be a special season.

I'd say that's a pretty solid/reasonable assessment. In game one, if a traditionally between the tackles "Bucky" (rolls eyes) can't run AT ALL, I'll be happy.

If, in game one, whoever our thrower turns out to be can go, say 9/15, with a long of 40 that traveled 25+ yards in the air, I'll like what I'm seeing.

I think if the above two things happen, it also means LSU pounds out about 300 on 50 carries.
