Right now, this is not a championship roster. Where are the playmakers, the difference makers? On defense, I see a lot of good players, but no difference makers...yet. We don't get enough pressure on the QB, much less sacks. We don't force enough turnovers.

On special teams, we cannot do better for retuners on kickoffs than RBs with no chance of TD returns. When was the last time LSU ever blocked a punt? Why not go for the block, If White isn't going to catch most punts anyway?

On offense, I think we have some future difference makers, but the scheme doesn't allow them to show it yet.

We need some difference makers and go to guys.

Terry, they are there as all of these impact Freshman and Sophomores that played this year will be beasts over the next two season. Your stars and difference makers will be Fournette, Dupre, Quinn, Melvin Jones, Hawkins, Pocic, etc. On D you will have Godchaux, Bower, LaCouture, Beckwith, Garrett, and a plethora of DBs headlined by Adams and White.

Don't know if it's coaching or what but White has done a horrible job on punts. He seems confused as to "catch it and run", or "do I let it bounce" or "fair catch". I like him and think he COULD be good back there but something isn't clicking for him. And Fournette can't be the only option for kickoffs. He is not the answer there. Hell put Dural or Chark in. Someone a bit faster after the catch. LF is fast but he seems to build speed.
