1. I think LSU overachieved last season.

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.

2. How do you know you have the best QB since 2007?

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.
