We haven’t done any of that yet.

And having a great line is wonderful but Ws and Ls are all that matter.

We didn’t improve this year

Or recruiting didn’t improve

Let’s see if we actually improve next year.

Also which 12 freshmen started? I remeber

Charles, Ingram, carter on offense
Slept, Greedy, Taylor and Chaisson on defense

And I guess You can count 2 kickers and the punter but that’s still 10 including RS Freshmen. Who am I missing?

My first response to this post contained information from LSUSports.net. This was also with the info from that article.

This is also after the first SEVEN games so the numbers in the previous post and this one may have increased by season's end.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Here is some info from the LSU website:
https://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=211151291

this is about true freshmen and doesn't take into account the redshirt freshmen.

quote:
True Freshmen Continue to Play Big Roles at LSU
* So far this season, 20 true freshmen have played for the Tigers, which is tied for the most in the nation after seven weeks of the season.

quote:
* With Charles' start against BYU, he became the first true freshman to start a season opener on the offensive line since at least World War II.

quote:
* LSU's eight true freshmen starters in 2017 are the most since at least 2005

quote:
* The four true freshmen (Charles, Chaisson, Taylor and Delpit) who started the season opener matched the total number between 2000-16.

quote:
* The four true freshmen starters were the most in the nation to start the 2017 season

quote:
* Against BYU, 17 true freshmen saw action for the most by an LSU team in a season opener since at least 1995.

quote:
* The following is a list of true freshmen who have played this season: QB Myles Brennan, TE/F Tory Carter, LB K’Lavon Chaisson, RG Saahdiq Charles, OG Austin Deculus, FS Grant Delpit, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, DE Neil Farrell Jr., S Todd Harris Jr., OG Ed Ingram, WR Justin Jefferson, CB Jontre Kirklin, WR Racey McMath, WR Mannie Netherly, LB Jacob Phillips, LB Patrick Queen, WR JaCoby Stevens, LB Tyler Taylor, DE Justin Thomas, CB Kary Vincent Jr.
