I could see it. The step back on offense won’t be nearly as big as the step up on D. That being said, somebody gonna get u

I agree with you and msully to some degree. He said 10-2. You seem to think 11-1. I think one of those two predictions is correct. I don't see 12-0 and I hopefully don't see 9-3.

I agree with your offense being better than expected. Daniels won some games that LSU would have lost with Nussmeier at QB. Having said that, the RB rushing game will be better, and Nussmeier has already sbown improvement in the bowl game. And I gotta believe the defense will be better too. Unlike some here, I think the secondary will be pretty good. I'm most concerned about improving the pass rush which was horrible last season. LSU stopped the run for the most part but if LSU doesn't improve on 3rd and long stops, it is going to be as bad as last year. LSU played pretty good defense on 1st and 2nd downs...run or pass...but getting off the field on 3rd and long was ridiculous.
