In your opinion, what is the weak link on the LSU defense?

D-Line?
Linebackers?
CB?
Safeties?

From last year performance, everything. This is a new defense this year. So might be untried and untested. We'll see.

bingo the talent is there, learning the system is the biggest obstacle facing these kids.

young d-line, but im gonna have to say linebackers. you really have to say secondary, not split them up into corners and safeties btw.

Team chemistry.

All the talent needed for dominance is there. Just need to get it together 4 qtrs game after game.

Honestly (and not just optimistically), our D should be the "turnaround" story of CFB '09.

Definitely, we should definitely call out and name a bunch of college kids as who we think will/may cost us the most this year.

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but that's how I read it...


BTW if you're watching the UNT replay...how awesome was Scott's second TD run? I forgot after the first two games he didn't have any TD rush that wasn't from like 35 yards out. Holliday made his punt return look frickin easy. Football season needs to get here.

weakest link is dt, corner and safety. if we cant get anybody to pass up al woods and charles alexander, we could be in trouble. i think drake will be fine, but we need hicks or davenport to jump up. if we can't get anybody to pass up hawkins and eugene, trouble. peterson is fine. safety? chad jones should be playing olb or ss. we need loston bad. i think Brooks should be at fs.

Hired Gun - I think you're pre-judging '09 too much by '08's performance.

I just gotta believe the new coaches will do a better job coaching than did the previous ones.

I am scared of Coleman at lb. I don't think he is big or strong enough to shed off offensive lineman.

All I wanted for Christmas last year was McCray not to be the nickle back on third down this year. I hope I get my wish.
