More so than any other year before. Anyone else in that same boat? I don't know if I should get excited or temper expectations. What say the Rant?

Umm ... to what are you referring to exactly. I'm assuming football, but ...

Indeed, and it's refreshing. No expectations, no pressure, just gonna enjoy watching Key, Guice, etc.

In my experience, when national expectations are low that's when LSU has a great season. Here's to low expectations!

The bright spot is the QB play, but now the HC and the new offense is the big question. If the head coach can handle that pressure cooker and the offense doesnt get too finesse or gimmicky, this could be a 2018 bowl team.

I'm right there with you. Trying to temper expectations though, so going with an 8-5; maybe 9-4

someone (SI or Athlons) had us pegged for a new years 6. id sign up for that with our new offense, possible issues at o line and qb

I have low expectations and honestly I hate it. I liked the feeling of truly believing we had a shot at the national title.

With O I think we win the ones we are supposed to and lose most of the ones we aren't supposed to win. So I am guessing slightly better than before, but I'm not expecting a national championship anytime in the near future.

I am looking at 9-3/10-2 type season. QB play limits the upside of the team. Hoping someone steps up and surprises in a good way.

I'm expecting it to be quite different in many aspects. What I'm uncertain of if that nets a change for the positive or negative. In other words, we're going to be pleasantly somewhat surprised or really really disappointed. I've seen enough to be hopeful, not enough to be confident, that the net will be positive.
Some things that won't change:
We'll still be in the 60 %'s of run plays vs pass plays. The run will still be the bread-and-butter.
Recruiting will still be a roller coaster
QB play will still be average or at best slightly above average partly because we'll continue to allow too much pressure against good D's.
Rant will still bitch about above QB. Period. There will be lots of "CEO can't develop a QB" threads also, no matter who the QB is.
What "fundamental" differences I'm looking for:
Tweaks in offense GAME-TO-GAME that indicates this staff is indeed practicing for and targeting each opponents defensive weaknesses (instead of "running our offense and lining up and beating them man to man")
WRs start the season with A) few issues getting off the line and B) running crisp routes and C) appear to be where DE (or QB) expects them to be. QB needs all the help he can get, from game 1.
OL: show us more coaching/development Grimes. There are holes and lack of depth/experience, sorry. This is where the rubber meets the road. For your sake, DE/Guice's sake, for our sake. Essentially, IF the previous staff and/or offensive philosophy was holding you back- prove it.

You are one pissy dude. It's just football. Lighten up.
The answer to your question is that we are looking at two losses, at least. Three would not surprise me. We are down at the moment, which is the result of various cyclical and systemic forces. We've pinned our hopes to a guy whose only HC experience was a drastic failure to turn the program around. If I were a betting man, which I am not, I would not put money on that happening.

I just want to see Myles Brennan play this year.

Anywhere from 8-4 to 11-1. While we all love Aranda, hard to see the D be as great as it was last year (statistically one of best all time).
Who knows what to expect from the O other than Guice?
