LSU’s 2014 season was average by all accounts. The Tigers scored signature wins over Wisconsin and Ole Miss, and they nearly upset No. 1 Alabama. However, they were also out-classed in losses to Mississippi State, Auburn and Arkansas, showing this team was not nearly as dominant as LSU teams of years past. This year’s Tigers beat a few ranked teams and remained competitive against a few more, but four losses is never going to appease the fan base in Baton Rouge. The Tigers should earn a C for an average season, but they receive a C+ simply because this team was exceptionally young and grew up right before our eyes as the season progressed. Few teams have more upside entering 2015 than LSU.

Not really, if the QB situation doesn't improve, expect the same next year

Or if we play offense like we did vs aTm... Use what you got and don't try to make them something they aren't. But it is also silly to think he won't get better over the offseason. He knows what he has to work on and he will work on it.

The new OLs and the old QBs will make or break 2015.

This.
If early defections to the NFL don't decimate the OL, I will feel a lot better about the 2015 season. I don't expect Harris to get a fair shot at overtaking Jennings despite what Miles will say, so we know what we've got at the QB position.

There is only so much you can do with schemes to hide deficiencies. Especially when your opponents know the deficiencies and can counter-scheme.
Or if we play offense like we did vs aTm
The improvements Jennings would most need are in recognition and awareness of what is happening on the field. Jennings has not appeared to be keeping up with the expected learning curve in these areas. Even if Jennings makes significant strides in these areas his accuracy as a passer also needs to improve.

i think we can expect more net year even with the same QB situation.
LF will be a year older, and a year better. You can't compare LF in week 1 to what we saw on thanksgiving. He will also continue to grow over the spring and summer practices.
We also will start the season with Beckwith at MLB. An elite talent at the most important position on defense. Not to mention our starting DTs will also both be a year older.
the OLine is a bit of a question mark, but we have so much talent i think we can still recover if we lose a few.
not to mention a few of our competitors will eb gutted by seniors leaving.

That's a pretty fair appraisal.
