Really loving the team the more I think about it

Love what I'm hearing about Hunter, Herron, and Miles talking about how good the LB depth is. Having a guy get fatigued, and the one playing backup subbing in is as talented or more and faster.
Love hearing about Quinn and Williams and Fournette showing out. Can't wait to see that "big, powerful man", show out against Wisconsin. They aren't going to know what hit them when Fournette rolls through Houston with Magee and Hilliard leading the charge early.
Miles also talked about Robinson playing like a veteran too.
At QB, does it still matter? At least til Auburn, this team will win on dominant power running like Wisconsin, with a strong defense. Both guys will split time until it is evident which will start. IDGAF about the starter at QB this year.
We won 10 games in 2010 with 7 TDs thrown against 10 ints and 1865 passing yards, in the regular season alone. Finished out the season with 11 wins on only 10 TD passes and 2023 passing yards.
-We beat a 9 win WVU team
-an 8 win UNC team
-an 8 win Florida team
-a 9 win 15th ranked (final ranking) MSU team
-a 10 win 10th ranked (final ranking) Bama team
-then beat the snot out of a 9 win 19th ranked (final ranking) TAMU team
-We lost against a 14 win 1st ranked (final ranking) Auburn team, by 7 points
-a 10 win 12th ranked (final ranking), Aekansas team by 8 points.
let's say 2010 teams match up with our 2014 opponents
TAMU is WVU (nearly identical in the way the teams play)
Wisky is UNC (Wisky should be a bit better)
Florida is Florida (almost exactly like they were that year)
MSU is MSU (again, almost exactly like they were that year)
Bama is Bama (and actually, they were better in 2010)
Auburn is Auburn (but not as good as that year IMO)
Ole Miss is Arky (although I don't think they are that good, could be though)
I like this team, I like that they are pretty much set up like the 2010 team, but waaay better in the backfield and offensive line. Also waaay better at LB and DE.
I've got em at 10-2, but could be 11-1 if the DT position and QB get worked out and is at least serviceable by Auburn.

I love this team's potential. Everyone's talking about next year, but we have the pieces to make a playoff run this year, if everything falls into place.

Really glad to hear the great reports on Herron throughout fall camp. We'll need him to help anchor that line for the LB corps.

I honestly have no idea what's going to turn up. I will say...I feel better about this coaching staff then all the les miles era

Bitch Davis said yesterday that he felt his 2010 UNC team were on the cusp of winning a title then the wheels fell off.

The way reports are coming out on the offense. I am starting to worry.

That's what happens when your staff is hiring elite players and then gets caught

I'm a little cautious with Herron. This time last year, wasn't there a lot of talk about Ego being impressive during fall practices? While he preformed better than Freak throughout the year, neither of them were on the same level as Brockers. I hope Herron is like MSU's Jones, but I'm nervous that he'll be "meh," at best - hope I'm wrong...

Everyone outside of the Tiger nation is highlighting a supposed weak DL due to early draft defections. IMO, our DEs are going to be very stout and disruptive at times. If the DTs can keep the rushers from breaking through then the DL as a whole might be a hell of a lot more impressive than most 'know it alls' think possible for a team that loses so many guys before their senior years.
Also, that Mike Backer spot needs to wrap up any rushers that get past the tackles with prejudice. If DJ can't get er done then it's time to bring in the young guns.

Ego Ferguson was damn good last year. He played his way into the 2nd round of the draft.

I'm just ready to watch them play. I'm not setting any expectations on these kids shoulders. It's pointless to do so

A lot of things in life are pointless. It's not like I'm walking up to a player and telling him he better finish with a 10 regular season wins. It's just how I belive the season will play out. Players coming to LSU already know the expectations are championships every year. You see it in a bunch of their interviews, and interviews while they are being recruited. You are not putting any extra burden on a guy by making a record prediction on a message board.

i'm with you,OP. I think this team will have special chemistry and I expect a special season. I don't know how that plays out in the win/loss total, or championships.
But I think it will be a fun season of football to enjoy.

First of all, who down votes this? 
I agree with this. Also, when Bama won it all in 2011 McCarron was only named the starter in the second or third game. His QB play was not stellar but didn't have to be. I think we are somewhat in a similar position this year. Defense should be better than last year, running game will be epic as always, playmakers on both sides of the ball.
So we can break in a young QB early and by the time we get to the heart of our schedule we should be rolling.
