re: I keep hearing about about the roster that the current coaching staff inherited

LSU lost their 5 starters at DB including their team captain who called the plays.
They lost their dline coach right before the season.
In my 50+ years of watching LSU football. I’m never seen anything remotely close to that. So while I blame house for a lot of things, the lack of depth was the most glaring. Frankly, these freshmen were not supposed to be playing significant roles this year. The biggest issue is they’ve gotten out of base defense and the freshman can’t play zone or other types of defense due to communication issues
