This. The defense looked better, but that was expected against a poor UF offense. My hope is that a little success will lead to a little more confidence exhibited by the coaches and players.
Offense, the obvious biggest improvement was the run-blocking. Even against 8 man fronts LSU was able to find space to run. The OL also did a decent job in pass protection. Jennings had time. I know I'm going to get hammered about this, but IMO LSU biggest problem in the passing game is the QB or even OL, it's that every route is deep and takes a while to develop. Those are hard to throw and block. I'd love to see what a guy like Diarse can do in space. We all know Dupree and Dural can go deep.

I support the optimism, and agree that 7 games into the season, young, talented players are learning how to succeed against competition of a caliber they'd never encountered before. This team will only get better (though perhaps not better enough to avoid two or three more losses--let's not get unrealistic, this always was a rebuilding year). The only position where the ceiling may not be high enough is at quarterback. Harris should be the future, but the future is not now. He needs to be brought along at the pace the coaches determine gives him the best long-term advantage. If that means not tossing him into the cauldron against Ole Miss and 'Bama, so be it. Support the guys on the field.
