All the loses on defense were addition by subtraction. Ego and freak were underwhelming for as talented as they were. Ego was the biggest lose bc he could have been a real force this year. Loston was solid but we have that and more in the guys coming up behind him.

While this defense is young, I think it will be as good as in 2011.
I think we have difference makers at every level and several superstars in the making.

Offense is the question mark and I respect any critic who wants to throw that out there. Don't BS and say the defense is questionable though.

Give that team some credit. D was legendary.

quote:

Following 2010, LSU lost:

Both starting interior lineman (Nevis and Levingston) that were combined more dominant than Freak and Ego.

Lost our starting stud MLB in Sheppard (bigger loss than Barrow)

Lost our best DB/CB in Peterson who I'd say was more important to LSU than Loston.

How'd that 2011 defense turn out?


Returned Reid, Claiborne, Simon, Mathieu, Baker, Brooks, Francois, Montgomery, Adams, Taylor...

Non-returning starters: Minter, Brockers, Logan, Edwards, Mingo, Freak... why make the comparison?
