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

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.

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'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?

T on the other hand...

I was already a little concerned with the OL before all this recent attrition tbh.

I'll put it to you this way. If LSUs line can hold up in Cam's offense and if Pitts OL can whip up on Clemson the way they did, shoot everyone they played for that matter then LSUs line can make it through a season with the depth we have.

Pitts problem with mediocre OL wasn't their offense, it was their defense holding their opponents to below what their offense could score. Do you think LSU will have that problem? I don't think they will and yes the SEC overall is better/faster on defense then the ACC but not by that much. You can also say that LSU has the talent to overcome that talent difference as well. Of course it's an issue but not as big as people want to make it out to be.

This also opens up spots on the OL to fill with the 1st round talent that O has been talking about filling the OL with. Again once the offense shows what it can do I think LSU will have a huge recruiting tool to work with. Until then all they can do is build relationships. Nothing has really changed IMO. The offense will need to look like it's making progress and if that happens we will be fine. If the offense takes off it will be more then fine. If the offense doesn't perform well, it wouldn't have anyway and LSU will have to do a JOB in recruiting to change that. Period

Teuhema was inconsistent but he will be missed. I hate he's gone but I don't think his transfer will make a difference in wins and loses.

Staying with my original guess 9 - 3. Just because we have arguably the toughest schedule in the nation with 5 SEC road games.

8-4 likely 9-3 with some breaks.

It depends on if there are injuries, who knows maybe we get some surprising underclassmen that step up in a big way. I'll remain positive until I can't anymore lol
