a realist too. How did we get to this point? Save the usual and over-used QB and NFL Draft crutches. It's still not enough to account for this. It just doesn't add up

what? Yes it does. In 5 seasons LSU has lost 27 juniors to the nfl draft. By far the most of any program. The next closest program is Bama with 14. Last year our entire offensive skill position players had a combined 2 games started. We started the 6th most freshman in the country while playing in the hardest division in the hardest country. Our very inexperienced team coincided with team being very experienced. For example Miss st will be replacing these starting positions manned by all seniors:3 olineman, best rb, best wr,3 dlineman, best lb 3 of the 4 starting dbs.
The sec is not the conference you want to start freshman. To say this doesn't explain our 1 year drop off proves you don't understand how hard it is to win consistently. Posters on this site swear it's so easy to win 10 games every year when in fact it's very difficult to win 9 games every year. From 2009-2013 only 4 programs out of 126 won at least 9 games every year. FOUR. lsu was one of them . So stop acting like it's a birthright to win 10 games and being very inexperienced isn't a reason to finish behind teams that don't play near the competition we do.
