So a team that returns almost all of its starters plus the best QB we've had since 2007 that went 13-0 playing the toughest schedule in the country last year is going to take a step back? The defense will be as strong if not stronger then last year. We replace Oregon and West Virginia with Washington and Idaho, we get bama at home at night, and our toughest road game is arguably at Arkansas. The rest of the west outside of bama and Arkansas is not that impressive, it's top heavy just like last year and the east is still a joke outside UGA. If mettenburger doesn't implode and we play how we're capable, anything less then Miami would be a disappointment

1. I think LSU overachieved last season.
2. How do you know you have the best qb you've had since 2007?

Hoping to go undefeated. Happy with 1 regular season loss. 2 regular season losses will have me consoling my self that that record is nothing to be ashamed of.

People tend to overlook the dominant play of our defense and special teams so many times. They are the reason why we were able to have so many short fields to work with on offense. For an offense that wasn't overwhelmingly dominant, but efficient, that is all you can ask for..hence 13 wins.
ETA: There was one team in the country better than us last year - Alabama. The reason we beat them on 11/5 was because of 1. Brad Wing and Drew Alleman and 2. Timely plays on defense.

We handily beat multiple conference champions, beat Bama at their house, won the West, won the SEC, and finished 13-0 in what many described as one of the toughest schedules ever. That's a hell of a lot of "overachieving."

Yes I would agree that having the greatest regular season in college football history with Jordan Jefferson and Jarret Lee at QB is over achieving. Looking at every undefeated team since 1976—as far back as rankings were kept from week to week— there are only five teams who beat at least six ranked teams: 2000 Oklahoma, 1998 Tennessee,1997 Michigan, and the 1987 Miami Hurricanes. The Sooners and Hurricanes had five, the Volunteers had four, and the Wolverines had two. We beat eight ranked teams(4 on the road counting UGA) by an average of 3.5 points per game more then any of the others listed. We had the highest-scoring team of any of others listed and won by an average of 25 points a game. Nine games by at least four touchdowns. Now that's what I call over achieving.

If you've followed the LSU QB position the last 4 years, it's a safe bet to place your life savings on that assumption. With our running backs, ZM simply has to play average for us to be a MUCH better offense.

8 home games.
Several of which are against nobody teams. I mean I know Washington and north Texas are real ground pounders but I think we can overcome.
I'm honestly not worried about the away games either simply because LSU doesn't play away games.
You seem to be placing a lot of your skepticism about LSU's season in how Mett performs. That's fine. But you should remember that we don't need him to be the best qb to ever come through LSU. We just need him to be as good as Lee or Jefferson was.

To the obsessed Gator---Agree with #1, we did over achieve last year, and trust us on #2-We know! that we'll have a better QB since 2007.

What? We romped the hottest team in the country in tamu, then got after it cus we knew we were playin oregon. Our team has gotten better every year since 08. With our defense and a sr qb, pretty logical to pick lsu to win the sec, and we did. But no one saw the off the field issues that wreaked havoc on this team. Yet we still won 13 games with the worst qb play ive witnessed at LSU in a very long time.
