Maybe. Marginally. Addai was pretty damn good.

You think our WRs stack up to Bowe, Davis, Doucet, and LaFell? I don't.

Give some examples, please. Our backup RBs (Williams, Brosette) are average, at best. We only have one viable TE (Moreau). We some potential at WR (Davis, Anderson), I'll give you that, but the younger guys need to step up.




I assume you realize that Joe Addai is statistically not in the same ball park as Guice. Guice had the 4th best rushing season in LSU history. He had two 250 yard games. He's only 700 yards behind Joe's 4 year career rushing totals after two seasons.

Hard to say about Bowe et al. They played in a more open offense. Bowe and Davis were unknowns after their fresh seasons. LSU's freshman WR class was loaded but we don't know their ceiling. However, they do not lack for talent.

The lack of backfield depth is partially on Miles and the coaching change. How many backs did Miles recruit in his last recruiting cycle? Personally I don't think we had great backs from 2008 until Fournette's arrival. Decent backs but no real headliners.

Believe what you want to believe.

Jeremy Hill was a great college back.

Steven Ridley was 1st team all sec in 2010.
Ware was 2nd team all sec in 2011.
Scott was 1st team all sec in 2008.
He was on the 2009 team.
Jeremy hill was 1st team all sec in 2013 and had,at the time,the second best rushing season in lsu history and was setting the sec single season ypc record.
