All the talk about returning starters

Much of the pre-season speculation about LSU's upcoming season is based on having to replace 7 of 11 starters on defense. Last night, I attended an event and one of the guys who spoke commented on this. He wasn't referring to LSU specifically but teams like LSU, who lost several starters. He said it doesn't mean a whole lots because with the difference "packages" defensive coordinators use, lots of players play. He said the returning starters deal strictly refers to the guys who played the first play of the game. This gives me a little more hope that LSU's defense may not suffer as bad as some think it will.

I know 5 year olds who could have told you this

When your starters admit to taking plays off what's it matter?

All the starters who left made their names in 2011. Our new starters will be motivated to make a name for themselves this year. Our defense will be better than last year.

Defense will be solid, not dominant, but top 15

I'll go out on a limb and say that you probably could have figured that out on your own.

The offense virtually returns everyone. So glad Copeland came back. and they upgraded at receiver.
To me that is more important because LSU has the talent to replace on the Defensive side. I believe it's easier bc of said packages and all that talent combined with speed.

This isn't exactly a secret. LSU rotates heavily on defense. Most of the new "starters" have seen significant playing time. For example, Ego and Freak probably played about a 3rd of the snaps on the D-line last year.
Even at safety, Ronald Martin played and I believe even had a pick or two.
The bigger issue this year is that our experienced depth is low. However, after the first few games that should be sorted out.

I'm not saying this year's DL was better than last years DL... But we will get better performances out of them than 2012.... Book that.
These guys get a ton of playing time and the best player doesn't always start. For a player to outright jump an already established name like Sam Montgomery or Barkevious Mingo, they have to be substantially better.
