I agree. On paper, I think we have a good shot to make the playoff. I haven't been this excited for LSU football to start in awhile.



How do we look like a top 4 team on paper?

Average QB with terribly unknown depth

Unproven at WR with a lot of young guys learning a new system

Unproven at LB, starting a lot of new guys, no proven depth, and used walk-ons during spring

Unproven safety's, and DB's in general, with one returning player (who has had ups and downs and missed a lot of spring with track)

An OL that had a walk-on at center during the spring


Look, I'm excited for the season as well. And I sure hope you are right. But "on paper" this team has a lot of problems to overcome and certainly does not look at a top 4 team at this point.

Cushenberry is on scholarship, but he didn't get any offers from another SEC school. Was strictly one of those last minute "Panic" scholarship offers by Grimes. Not SEC caliber. (As many of the OL's on the current roster aren't}

If Clapp goes down, this team is in major trouble with no competent back-up Center. OL is definitely the weak link on the team.

Not sure if Grimes is what we need to get the OL up to SEC Championship standards. (From a coaching scheme and recruiting point of view) Let's see what happens without LM micro-management interference.............

Wait, this is a recipe for championships at Bama. Can't work here?
