That's about it.
Pretty good summary.
As for the show, they talked up LSU pretty well, but made a pretty big point of emphasizing our question marks (especially QB and WR). Raved about our defense and special teams, but really spent about 75-80% of the time talking about how our offense (meaning Mettenberger) may or may not be for real, and that our season will turn on the answer to that question.
Nothing real shocking, nor particularly insightful, and all pretty obvious. A little more critical of our "unproven" talent than I've seen them be with other programs, and way critical of Russel Shepard. But pleasantly little skewing for the moment. Whether that continues into the season of course remains to be seen.

Good wrap up.
I will say I was happy that Jesse Palmer, who I think has really become one of the best analysts over the past couple of years, finally added a little perspective to the conversation when he interrupted the questioning of Mett to remind everyone how great our running game was, and will continue to be.
He reminded everyone that Mett doesn't have to be a savior. Just give us a bit of an added dimension with a consistent deep threat that we lacked against better defenses (Bama, UGA) last year.
Also, how lame was Pollack's homer knock on Mett, saying "I've seen this since he was a young kid, he has virtually NO footwork or mobility."
Is that why he was ahead of Murray at UGA Dave??
