Three bold LSU football predictions entering Brian Kelly's first season with the Tigers

I don't find any of these that bold honestly. MAYBE top 3 defense. I'm not sure the author knows what bold means.

I think if those 3 predictions happen there will be a 4th prediction which is:

LSU wins 10 games and gets a NY6 Bowl.

Don’t think those are bold at all. Probable

LSU will have a top 3 defense in the SEC

Pretty bold. And if we do look out

I’ll make a prediction on Jayden Daniels that some would consider bold - maybe even stupid.

My prediction: Jayden Daniels gets drafted in the first, second, or third round of the next NFL draft.

if this is true....this is a 9 or 10 win team. while i don't know about "top 3", i think this defense will surprise people.

for context...most of the preseason fantasy rankings for def/st have LSU #7 in the SEC alone. Behind bama, ga, 8&4, aub, kentucky, miss st, then LSU.

A top 5 SEC defense would be refreshing. We were 13th in 2020 and 10th in 2021 (yards/game). Top 3 is super bold

I think we have a better chance of being top 3 in turnovers or sacks than in yards allowed.

We know Jayden Daniels can run incredibly well and has speed on a similar level with Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson. That helps open up the passing game and we have one of the most talented receiving units in the nation. Plus he seems to be committed to working hard to build timing with the receivers and working with elite coaches to improve footwork. He also has good starting experience and good leadership skills. A solid defense will also help us to have more offensive possessions. Offensive line consistency is my main concern. All things considered, I see Daniels putting up some really big numbers both running and throwing this year.

None are bold

Good chance on the first two. Very unlikely on Perkins. Regardless of his athletic ability, he can’t start unless he can read and react, and that is unlikely to come this season.
