I don’t envision LSU winning a title next season without a player stepping up, and becoming a game changer vs opponents. HoneyBadger was, so was Burrow or was it Brady?

That person in 2023 could be Mason, destroying the pocket and forcing opposing QB’s to exit early or throw it away. That person could Emery, he showed flashes catching a pass and dodging tackles vs Alabama. That person could be Perkins or someone in the secondary like the All American freshman from Texas A&M. Who do any of you see it could possibly be?

All the players mentioned none over the other all need to play lights out and pull there weight and come through at key times in different games. I don’t see this team having a single guy that will be the GUY like Mathieu. But I shouldn't count out one of the freshman or Perkins really turning it on.

Edit: also if we keep Davis jr and play him at rb who knows what he can progress to by end of year. Combo of emery, Davis jr, and Williams man could this wreck shop with an experienced and dominant oline that I think we will have

Mason Smith will be a wrecking ball.
He is the only player mentioned who we did not have last season.

Need
Dominant and threats in return game (Anderson, Davis jr, Goodwin)
sack specialist perkins and one of our young DE to step into that
Pocket pushers mason ?west? Wingo and a new booty
Solid over top safety and wood layer burns I think takes that role
TE/relief valve Taylor, another room TE and a slot thinking Anderson/nabers
Over top threat nabers/Anderson/brown?
Dominant at end of year center (Chester?)
QB JD is that guy and if he can’t be an over the top threat we have nuss or possibly walker

They all need to fill in their role I just don’t see a Xfactor

But I see all the pieces and am so excited

The X Factor is how we finish in the transfer portal. We have 6-7 open spots and we need to fill them with impact guys on defense.
1 CB
1 S
1 MLB
1 Edge
1 DT
1 C
Atleast. There’s a ridiculous amount of talent in the portal let’s reel them in.

Saturday night and the lights are bright
Looking out for a score to go
Where they play the right call, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy

Harold Perkins. Gonna need to wreak havoc on the QB as much as possible given how thin we are at every position.
