Frankly, I don't see how anyone can realistically predict what LSU will do this season. There are just too many unknowns.
If this coaching model is going to work, I think this may be our best chance to make a serious run.
It has an 07 feel imo. We lost a ton of talent at the top of the draft, but bring back a great DC that should put together a defense that should have us in every game.
But more than anything, we have a new, creative OC that teams are not going to know what to expect, similar to the way Crowton came in and made that 07 offense so difficult to stop. He has a veteran QB and OL to work with and a true workhorse at RB with lots of young and potentially explosive playmakers at WR.
With only facing three ranked teams and Bama losing so much on D I honestly don't see how things will get any easier after this year, especially if Aranda moves on and maybe even Canada too.
2017 very well might be our best shot to win the SEC for quite some time.

I don't know. That 2007 didn't sneak up on anyone. LSU was ranked #2 to start the season. Other than at safety, LSU returned most of their front 7 in 2007. This year the defense is going to have to replace some big time players at all three levels.
I agree with you about the offense though.

I tend to agree. The schedule absolutely won't be easy, but at least at the outset it appears you're getting some favorable matchups except for 2 games (Florida and Bama).
Auburn is here (LSU rarely leaves JHS with a win)
The Bama hangover game vs. Ark is here.
There's no short week vs. A&M.
Plus, while you get Tenn. on the road, it seems like last year was supposed to be their year. Now they have a HC very much on the hotseat going into a season with a new QB, new RBs, and having to replace some key guys on defense. Ole Miss seems like a mess and I'm not sold on Miss. St. being a really good team
