Worse. I don't think the defense will be that much impoved but our offense should take a major step back if we lose who we expect to lose

Better. Leonard Fournette will carry the offense and the defense can only get better.

We won't be worse. The defense will be much improved, offense won't be quite as talented. If we get the recruits we believe we will, we'll be right in the thick of it

On offense we'll be young and explosive and defense will be refined and have depth and talent.

We'll be fine.

Possibly much better imo.

In addition to Fournette, we'll be adding 3 top WR prospects, and who say's AJ is next year's starter?

I really like the attitude of our frosh QB coming on board, cocky yet humble.

Yea because freshmen PROSPECTS are better than All SEC All American players like OBJ, Jarvis, and Hill

Worse and all the sunshine pumpers will talk about how we're inexperienced and act like that couldn't even be partially avoided by getting some experience this year.

How will OL look? QBs are wild cards but can surprise. Happens more often now than before.

Key is OL. What is the thought on OL

But if we lose Ego & Freak, and it looks like that will happen, how does that make us better?? What talent replaces them, and then, what about depth?

It will be a different offense. More running and fewer deep passes. If AJ is the real deal, then we may be ok. He feels more like a Flynn type of QB which will provide balance.

Pfff...the guy's coming in are supposed to be pretty damn good.

Not to mention skill position players typically make an earlier impact than others.

Better on defense.

Different on offense. We may rely even more on the run should Leonard become a Tiger. And we have at least Magee and Neighbors returning.

Although Jennings and Harris are great passers, they have the potential to be dual threats also.

We will have a completely new receiving corps, and although young, will be have great potential.

One great plus for offense is the return of most of the O-line.

Jennings will be good, maybe not as good as Mett was early in the season.. but better than he has been the last few weeks. Overall our offense as a whole should be about the same. Hill is phenomenal, but we always have good RBs. WR will take a step back, TE takes a step up. Offensive line will be better too. It's going to look more like the 2011 offense should have. Defense is going to be much better.

Offense may not average 45 points a game next season, but it won't need to.

But some of those PROSPECTS are 5 stars! Which automatically translates into winning in the SEC like Craig Loston, Al Woods, Chris Davenport, Russell Sheppard, Anthony Johnson et al.

And there's one major difference between LSU and Bama.
