Wit the O Line issue for depth, what is your updated season prediction now?

I was firmly around 10-2 to start with, now I'm going to go with 9-3 with losses to Bama obviously, Maybe Florida and a surprise loss to one of the rest of remaining. Sucks to think about but It's a hard truth pill that we all gonna have to eat, because the o Line thing will catch up to us one way or another through out the season, whether it be injury, fatigue, or scheme issue. We are likely 2-3 years from a playoff run. If we do better I will be totally happy and will gladly eat crow because I love when the Tigers do great, I'm just being realistic tiger this year though

No change: 11-1 and playoff bound

I like your optimism but man it's hard AF to see 11-1. I truly hope you are right though

Barring injuries, 9 wins is still my expectation.

Yep. Time to abandon ship. There's no way we can beat Alabama or anybody else without Teuhema, right? Might as well have the boys cancel practice and forfeit the season.

Hard to see how we come up with 1 win this season. Its over. See you never.

I'm officially worried. Thanks Hanny

One player shouldn't really change your outlook much. LSU was gonna be screwed if they sustained major OL injuries with or without Maea.

I never said abandon anything, I'm just calling it like I see it. And it's not just teuhema, we lost 2 O Linemen in less then a week. And 4 in the past few months. That's not great for the big boys up front. Now we have to rely on a 2 deep across with no experience on the back end of that. It's not great odds for us. I'm not a negative tiger by any means usually I call for 12-0 every year but I'm looking at this and it's not great man being honest it's gonna bite us in the arse at some point

I'd say we'll win more than we lose.

You have no idea if that's the truth. You are basing this off a Les Miles offense. I know though, chicken littles gonna chicken Little. Did it ever occur to you that this guy was most likely a cancer, and didn't give a shite half the time this past year...and his performance was reflected.

I thought OP asked a simple and reasonable question. Don't know why so many are getting bent out of shape.
I think 8-4 is most likely. 9-3 would be an accomplishment and 7-5 is possible if the team is ravaged by injuries.

Am I the only one that doesn't think G/C depth is an issue at all?

Well here's the thing. With Canada's offense we don't have to rely on road graders. Our OL will be more mobile and not have to move DL at the point of contact and rather chip, angle, trap and pull. Because of this I don't think we will be as reliant on OL that is physically developed and more on technique and scheme knowledge. If that's the case then as long as the younger players pick up Canada's scheme they can be inserted with less drop off. JMHO

And I'm not trying to be an over-posi-Tiger. But I'm not ready to concede a single loss until after I see how Canada runs this offense. Losing the Olinemen hurts, but there's a completely different offensive strategy starting in four weeks.
If this was the Miles era still, yeah I'd say 7 wins tops. But Miles and Cam are gone so I'm not going to panic, yet. I want to see how the offense does against a good, physical BYU team first, then I will begin to try and get a feel for how the next game will go, and so on...

You still think LSU wins it all?????
Posted on 8/3/17 at 11:29 am to Kedwards1
Look it's not just about Teuhema . He was just the icing,
You realize we lost Willie Allen, Seth Stewart and Teuhema all within the last few weeks right?! That is a hard fricking hit no matter how you look at it
