Our offensive production depends HEAVILY on the true freshmen. True or False?

True, simply because we NEED at least one of the frosh WR's to have an 800 yard season.

Quinn, Dupre, Harris, and Fournette will all play significant minutes in the 1st game. You be the judge based on that...

We must have production from both freshman RBs, at least one WR to have a successful offense.

I expected Harris to play a lot, but i dont think there would be a huge difference in production between he and AJ. Maybe a better 3rd down conversion rate.

IT'S NOT frickING "MCGEE"

How hard is it to spell his last name right? It's literally one letter different and no one EVER pronounces it "Mick Gee" they always say "Mah Gee"

Almost as bad as everyone pronouncing Josh Boutte's last name as "Booty"


RAGE: [OFF]

Our offensive production relies heavily on our offensive line.

overall freshman WR's or backs don't always hurt you. it's two positions where freshmen can shine.

the two where it does hurt is OL and QB. our OL is fine. our QB's are young.

it's not ideal. but it's not dire either.

Fournette is supposed to be like the next AP so I would think that he will play a large role in the offense this year.

I also think Harris eventually beats out Jennings.

Since we are, and have always been, a run first team, then the answer is yes. With the stoute O-Line, questions at QB, and inexperienced WR corps, LF will play a significant role on this years team.
We'll need at least a credible threat in Dupre and Quinn to keep the backfield honest and aware of a pass attack - if for no other reason than to allow Dural to get his catches. I doubt they'll contribute "Heavily" in terms of stats, but they will be invaluable.
I'm pretty excited about this year. The O could surprise and I think the D will be back to LSU form.

I have zero concern about the freshmen WRs and RBs, they will make an impact for sure but won't be relied upon. However, if Harris wins the job then the chances of us getting double digit wins rests squarely on his shoulders. Like usual, QB play will determine our fate this season.

Probably and that's a good thing. this class has some studs. the Fr have to contribute for the team to meet it's full potential on offense.
