2012 was a down recruiting year so that's contributing to our current struggles.
Attrition to the NFL. This es contributing to our current struggles.
The recruits at DT are a disappointment. We should be seeing more production from Herron, Gilmore and Bain...of course we can't get Valentine cleared by the SEC. That is contributing to our current struggles.
QB play is lacking and exposes any weaknesses that we already have. Jennings has topped out IMO and he only does three things well (hand the ball off, listens to coaches and throws a nice deep ball) and one thing okay (makes plays with feet). Harris definitely has more upside but it's easy to see why he hasn't received as much playing time as Jennings. His inexperience hampers his ability to read defenses. But it is however clear that Harris has the most upside of all our QB's. Poor QB play can expose a teams weaknesses and good QB play can mask or cover for team weaknesses. It's the most important position on the field at every level. It's like the position of pitcher in baseball...it's that important.
The OL is under performing but I believe the OL whoas can be fixed and will be fixed. However without improved QB play, OL improvement will be more difficult. It's important that both positions improve together.
It's going to be a very long year if the QB, OL and DT positions don't get fixed.

In fairness, an LSU "downyear" is a Miss State "greatest recruiting class of all time".
