Ok, its obvious LSU still has a lot of problems, but talent aint one

Many people break down the LSU team as young and inexperienced, which they are. But the young players have some of the best talent around. LSU has 11 freshmen on offense, and 13 on defense. However, many of them are ALREADY starters or seem to get a lot of playing time over the more experienced players, such as Fournette and Darell Williams with Hilliard and Magee. The WR corps are actually doing pretty well considering 6 out of 8 are Freshmen. Malachi Dupree and Trey Quinn are alreasdy starting to make an impact on that part. Even though Dural is not a freshman, he is quite the athlete considering his inexperience. The O line is pretty athletic and most are LSU's strong point. And with the QB situation between Harris and Jennings, were not even going to get into that.
On defense, LSU's DB and LB situation shouldn't be a problem, with veteran senior players Jalen Mills, Ronald Martin, and Jalen Collins. Tredavious White(SO) is proving already to be a young impact player. On the D Line is where LSU lacks experience, and it shows. The only seniors, Jermauria Rasco and Justin Maclin are a good threat, if they stay healthy. All throughout the year LSU has been dominated in the trenches and giving up more yards per game than ever in the Les Miles era.
With all that aside, yes LSU is very inexperienced. However, some are already getting a lot of playing time and will improve as time goes on. This year will be a painful one for tiger fans, but if anything, should give us hope, and the big plays our freshmen make should give us a glimpse of the next few years.
As always,

Is only painful to those who want Les gone and/or expect to dominate the SEC every year!

Ok....and Mills and Collins aren't seniors, White proved last year he was an impact player, and Maclin isn't a "good threat" he's not even a threat to see the field. But yes bro

Alabama isn't that great this year either. They'll lose a couple more games.....what's their excuse?

LSU always has over rated talent it comes with purple and gold....and at present they don't have a servicable QB....nor one in sight.

The fans always seem to over rate the talent we have while the recruiting services (usually, but not last class) seem to under rate it. Miles has been very good at developing the talent he has to work with. Just give him a little time with these young players and we will be just fine.

No talent at QB. Could continue as a problem this year and next.

AHEM....This is where we lack talent. 91 is an atrocity and plays almost every down. We either have horrible talent or horrible talent evaluation. Either way, out DT's are extremely below LSU standards

Love the post.
A lot of Miles' haters stem from the fact the he had Munsoned the 2011 season and most of us, if not all of us, want that season back. And in 2 years, I think we may definitely have that chance. I mean come on, officially and technically throughout the world that year, we played in the greatest game of the century!!!
But in 2009, how was our team then? 2010?.....Maybe 2015 will be the turning year of our program and then BOOM!!! 2016 may be ours once again plus the whole state of Missisippi might be a powerhouse still but makes or conference that much stronger then.
As of now i think his team is something special and we will improve as the years go by. They will probably watch their tapes day in and day out on their breaks from school and figure out what to do.
and fill up the stadium to capacity, and then some, once more.
One more championship year before I die please God!!!!

Well what was his excuse in 2013,2012,no talent team too young 
Posted on 10/16/14 at 7:44 am to tigernation56
2012 should've been better. There's no reason the offense should've been so bad. Mett was not a young player.

Not usually at quarterback, which is only the most important position on the field.

Exactly. Miles is the luckiest coach on the face of the planet. Only his teams take a timeout on 3rd and forever, come out of the timeout and get penalized, then the opponent blows a coverage to allow a 1st down throw.
He's probably dumb enough to think running 85% of 1st downs will actually work against top notch SEC teams like Bama and Ole Miss. A rude awakening is coming. He will most likely get away with this mundane gameplan vs KY, but I don't see LSU winning another game after that due to the fact that he is stubborn and will not commit to passing on 1st down plays. Running 80% of the total plays called. This simply will not work against any team worst a shite; Maybe A&M, so 7-5 best base scenario. That's never acceptable at LSU, no matter the situation.

Talent at the QB position is a problem.

I've heard this after every loss. He keeps proving you wrong and you hate him for it.

Dline is where we lack talent, and it shows. Hunter is pretty good, Godchaux is solid, Rasco and Lacoutre are average at best. The fact we have a true freshman starting over the past 2 dline classes is pretty telling.
