re: lsu projected record for this season?? shot at sec title????

The offense has all of the pieces to be one of the best and most balanced groups in the SEC (yes, even at QB). My concern is whether or not the coaching staff can make the adjustments necessary (scheme or just overall approach-wise). LSU's having a poor passing game is a general trend now that I can't solely blame on the QBs Jennings and/or Harris. Until I see it on the field, it's hard to be optimistic that the coaching staff will make the necessary changes.

There are questions on defense. Especially the D-line. Plus, while everyone is optimistic, Steele at LSU is still a complete unknown. That said, there is still a lot of talent on the roster and it's hard to think LSU won't be at least in the top half of the SEC in defense.

Miles has only lost less than 2 regular season games twice in his 10 years as LSU's head coach. The West wasn't as strong top to bottom in those years as it is now.

While I would not be shocked if LSU got through the regular season with only 1 loss, I don't think they finish better than 9-3
