re: question for the positigers.......

[quote]Another reason to be positive is that the rest of the SEC is weak compared to the last decade. Alabama is down big. What? The SEC West is more competitive than it's ever been. Miss State was #1 in week 9 last season and is picked to finish last in the division. Alabama has more talent than any team in the country. Don't let negative news about their QB competition fool you.

competitive is one thing...being really good is another. I contend that Miss State was a competitive team last year......but believe State's "good year" was also due to the fact that LSU and Auburn were down last year. Texas A&M was even worse, and State was very fortunate to beat Arkansas last year. Not trying to knock State, but those factors do play a role, along with them also having a veteran team and pretty good QB.

I don't believe the hype on Auburn this year until proven differently....and Ole Miss still doesn't have a running game or strong OL....and who knows on their QB. Alabama has all kinds of questions on offense.......and Arkansas, despite showing improvement, is 2-14 over the last two years in the SEC. State lost far too much, and that will be known soon...and A&M is A&M.

Does LSU have questions? A couple. We won't know for sure about BH until the season starts. But the facts are he wasn't ready last year as a TF. However, he was very highly regarded out of highschool, and has tremendous ability and talent....In addition, all reports are that he has improved drastically since last year. They also have questions on depth on the defense front 4 and MLB....but the starting unit should be outstanding and IF they can avoid major injuries, especially at MLB, they will be special. On offense, they likely have several future first or second round draft picks between the OL, Dural, Dupree, Fournette, Guice, and that's not even to mention the tight end or Johnson (who I know hasn't played a down at LSU yet).

yes, there is much to be optimistic for this year, and LSU could truly have a special team on a much different level than some of the other teams in the SEC West. BH will truly be key...oh and water is w
