“I think the biggest misconception about LSU is that their problems have all been about the quarterback. Don’t get me wrong, that’s been an issue, but I look at their defensive line too. You look at them the last few years and then you look at Alabama and it’s like, wow, they don’t even compare anymore. They haven’t had the grown men up there like they used to have. Maybe that’ll start to change now that Ed Orgeron is there. Getting some of that element back would be huge for them because that’s the difference in beating Alabama like they were doing four, five years ago even when they were average at quarterback.” “They made a great hire in Dave Aranda. He was really tough to figure out at Wisconsin because he was so multiple and exotic in giving an offense different looks, and now he’s got much better players to work with. If he can get them to buy into the discipline it takes to run that scheme, they could be really tough.” “They’re certainly talented across the board, but they need to get Brandon Harris or somebody else to give them more consistent quarterback play. Like, we just begged them to throw it. We loaded the box on Leonard Fournette, and they really struggled. It’s not like some big secret. If you don’t have a quarterback in this league, good luck.”

Guy pretty much nailed it. Could have mentioned pass blocking as well, but all around very accurate.

I don't know but personally, if I had to chose, I'd love a dominant defense over a lights out offense

I've thought this for quite some time. Chavis really let our recruiting go to shite. And Steele was not a very good coordinator.

Ogeron was a career saving hire by Les. He will rebuild the Dline to elite and with depth. Pairing him with Arandanis extremely intriguing. I think the two could be a match made in heaven.

And this is why you get pumped to hear that a guy like Valentine is now eligible. That a kid like Alexander is eligible. Whether they start or not doesn't matter. We'll have actual depth on the D-line for the first time in years. The difference will be felt immedietely. In my totally worthless opinion.

This cant be true because the negatigers have shouted from the rooftops that LSU has more talent than every team except Bama and there isnt much of a gap between Bama and lsu.

Chief wanted smaller but faster guys to compete against all these spread offenses. Works against A&M and Johnny Football but Bama and Arkansas, not so much I guess.
