I'm happy for QT he should be starting this year

I'm happy, too, but I don't think he should be starting. His reps last year showed us a solid player without a lot of upside. For LSU to return to dominant defense, guys like QT need to be in backup roles providing critical depth. He should be holding his own while the real maulers are resting. Lacouture showed that kind of potential - not that he played better, but that he played almost as well in his first year as QT did in his third.

Reports are that Herron is that quick, powerful DT that makes the SEC go and that LSU is noted for. If Herron and Lacouture can provide that first-line stellar DT play, and Rasco and Hunter stay healthy on the outside, we could be in for something special, because QT, Lewis Neal, and Bower have apparently shown up. And one of Gilmore and Bain are bound to produce a good backup at DT.

The back seven is probably going to be the best we've ever had. So if the DT's step up, look out!
