ESPN Video

Basically what's already been said. Maybe ESPN doesn't hate LSU?

It's their job to cycle stories about the largest schools during the offseason to get as many clicks as possible...

Why would we be significantly better than last year?

The biggest question mark is leadership and quarterbacking...only the two most important parts of a team.

Every skill player is a year older, OL is quality, starting backers and safeties are strong, one CB is a 43 year starter, we have an all conf punter????? Any of those reasons

With average qb play we win 9-10 games. If Harris steps in like we all hope he does, I don't disagree. It'll come down to a couple plays in the big games

Fournette (#1 overall HS player 2014), Dupre (#1 WR), and Harris (#2 QB-DT) to throw them the ball. And Godchaux and Adams, to name some defensive stars bound to improve from what were great rookie seasons.

We can be really good or mediocre, depending on how well Harris plays, Les' coaching, and avoiding injuries.

Agree. Not being a Homer, being a realist. Many opposing coaches are saying it anonymously: our roster is the envy of many coaches! To their credit, our staff gets them on campus. Our talent is THAT good and it has to be acknowledged and is, by the media, by our opponents, and of course by us.

We pay our coaches top dollar, our facilites are at the top, we are committed to winning a NC. Average QB play gets us 10-11 wins, great QB play makes us unbeatable!

Pretty much sums up every possible contender. Why not us, too? Everyone is fully aware that "if" we get good to great QB play we'll be one of the most dangerous teams in the nation.

Never let a complimentary story go un challenged.
