I'm excited it's football season in general but not for this team. To many wholes in the roster, not enough depth, still no qb. Plus you have 5 sec road games. I think 3-2 on the road would be a huge accomplishment, but 2-3 is more likely. We could be anywhere between 7-5 and 10-2

I expected this negativity!
Expect the unexpected with LSU this season more so than in years past, LSU will be a pleasant surprise to any who have been down on this season.

A lot of talent.. and we have a qb. No he isn't a great qb but almost all qbs progress a lot after a full year starting and a few years in the program. Etling has started a lot of games. He's one of those kids whose smart won't make mistakes and now he's healthier. That experience is almost absolutely necessary at qb most of the time. Several coaches at media day mentioned that as the first reason why the sec will be stronger when asked about the sec being "down" last year. And that's all the qbs returning n Sec.

Not enough depth at Offensive Line. (Not enough SEC quality starters either)
TF's Deculus and Stewart need to step up in Fall Camp and earn starting spots. (A la TF Jonathon Williams at Alabama)
Etling will be the most improved player on the team and the SEC. (Brennan will be the next Jones/Hodson and get playing time)
McMillan/Scott will do the Roomate Switch or say Adios Amigo to another school.

This team could be really special idk what your seeing. Only depth issues I see are at WR. RBs will be fine, OL if we have injuries could be an issue but that's with any team. The defense is stacked with talent. I don't think we lose much there with or without Key. If you watch the front last year we had multiple guys surrounding the QB when Key got to the QB, he was just the fastest to get there. The DL will be the best we've seen in a long time, we all know what a DL can do for the secondary. Plus we have the best in the business calling the defense, he will find multiple ways to get to the QB.
Our QB is feeling his best he has in 2 years. He should perform slightly better which is all we need. My only concern is at WR but if we can get those guys to step up its going to be a great year. Canada can also find other ways to get the ball down field if they don't step up. We have plenty of TEs or H backs to get the ball to. We have good RBs to catch balls and his entire offense is built to fool the defense and get guys wide open so it's not like our WRs will HAVE to fight off great DBs at all times. Run the play get a man open and score points. This isn't Les Miles team anymore and people seem to forget this fact.
Add the fact that O wants to be more aggressive on ST which could result in more easy points. LSU being offensive in all phases could have many more positive results. Putting immense pressure on opposing teams causes mistakes that LSU can take advantage of. Teams coming in here not expecting this type of LSU game could get run out of the stadium, starting with BYU. These teams better be ready for a different LSU team in 2017/18!!! HTT
