Three Year Trends: 2009, '10, '11 v. 2014, '15, '16

IMO, there are many similar circumstances surrounding the 2009 and 2014 teams. True sophomore QB, inexperienced but talented team. Very likely to end both seasons 9-4.

In 2010, LSU would finish the season 11-2. Prior to the addition of either Cameron or Krags to the staff, Jennings posted the following stat line in 2010:

56.5% completions 1411 yards 6.8 ypa 7TDs 10INTs 114.7 QBR

Compared to the 2014 stat line for Jennings

48.8% completions 1460 yards 6.9 ypa 10TDs 7 INTs 115.3 QBR


This leads me to believe that the floor for this team is 11-2. However, with the benefit of Krags, (Jefferson never had Cameron to work with), Jennings improved a great deal in 2011 en route to 13-0 and a NC appearance. With another year (and offseason) of progression, and considering the talent around him, I see no reason why Jennings can't put up some decent numbers.
