Number one I love LSU and have been been a fan from 1962. This is a very young team and no one is looking at that after all we were picked to be last in the west this year.Clemson QB has been there for two years starting and that means a lot. there are only 13 seniors and 26 juniors on this team. Only the teams that beat us like ole miss had 33 juniors 27 seniors,Alabmam 21 and 24 Arkansas has 30 and 11. We do forget that the last few years that we have lost players to the pros and some just did not work out this is facts.

Our system is flawed regardless. There's still no excuse not to pass midfield against a team you once beat in a game that created the Bama dynasty. Fact

LSU's big issue is that we don't recruit every position hard every years

We will let something like LB recruiting slack off to the point were we have possible 3 scholarship LBs on the roster this spring (idk who is an EE) and one of them was a safety.

We don't go and get a QB EVERY year. We need to. They don't all work out. Thats fine, but you need to recruit enough to 1 works out every 2-3 years instead of getting stuck with a sophomore after a 5th year senior leaves.

good gosh, so sick of the excuses

always going to be young, time to coach them up.

lol we were picked to be last?

that was mississippi st.. who at least had a returning senior qb..



arkansas lost their best player to start the season. arkansas lost to toleda, tt, and so on and so on.. and we can't even be competitive vs them for 2 straight seasons.

arkansas couldn't win an SEC game in forever, but we give them their first last year..

stop with the excuses. we will always be young, but we are also among the most talented.

and lol at "only teams to beat us" and we lose 5 a year ago and 3 this year

just stop.. this is so ridiculous. better coaching with great talent wins in college football.

we beat ole miss last year, we were less experienced last season than this.. yet we still lost 5 freaking games..

notre dame had a zillion injuries and literally was fielding 3 starters on D in the bowl game.. and you can blame the d for that loss.. but outside of 3 big plays.. the offense actually didn't do shite on them.

we had 1 busted pass play for a td
1 long td run
and 1 fournette kick return td..

that was pretty much it.. we should have scored at will on them. especially with all the prep.. but our coaching is declining.. our philosophy is shite.

Kind of sad when you don't look at the people we have lost to the pros that is why we have more then anyone in the NFL now.Arkansas beat us two times when we were 10-2 then even beat us when Nick Saban was here when they had bad teams.

Kids lose any sense of winning anything and go pro early. We will always be young when they bolt for NFL cause they don't have any faith in wining anything meaningful. Don't have to believe me. Look at the last

What was the excuse in 2014? We were young then too? Why did our dline get blown away by Miss. State last year? It was said to be a young unit. Why were we not good at QB? We were told our QB was developing and getting better. He was improving so much he barely took a snap this year in favor of one who had started one game. Please can we stop with all of the excuses. I seriously doubt that youth had anything to do with the awful special teams play and lousy place kicking, punting and kickoffs. What excuse will you allow for next season?

It's college, every team is young. This is not an excuse.

Clemson's QB is a first time full year starter.
Alabama's QB is a first time full year starter.
Oklahoma's QB is a first time full year starter.

We returned a crap ton of starters from last year. We have Sr leadership on our OL and Defense. We have arguably the best player in the country with Fournette.

We have 16 Jr's or Sr's that start or have big time impacts. Clapp, Key, Toliver, Teuhema, and Jackson are the only contributors that don't have starts or playing time before this year because they are Fr.

This team had no business finishing where it did. Simply put.

So a total of only 39 upper classman on this very young team (I don't know if that is accurate). That's good to know. The greatest team in College Football History was the 2011 LSU Tiger team that was shut out in the NC game after dismantling the Rose Bowl Champ, the Cotton Bowl Champ, the Orange Bowl Champ and the National Champion on their home field.

That all time great team, for comparison sake, had 38 upper classman. I guess that team was younger than this one, go figure.
