re: All the talk about returning starters

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.
