If you're banking on this, I feel sorry for you. I expect a competitive game but BYU has shown nothing to warrant this type of defensive performance away from Provo against a team with the weapons LSU has.
Feel sorry then but your OLine is questionable and that leads to issues week 1
And last year we gave up
16 pts @ Arizona
20 pts @ Utah
17 pts to UCLA
35 @ West Virginia
14 pts @ Michigan State
14 pts in regulation to Mississippi St.
So check some basic facts before trash talking.

Msu is the only team on that list worth anything.

How many yards to Toledo (Hint 691 yards and 53 points).
Held Boise to a lean 570 yards.
Total defense ranked 71st.
Our Oline is fine - depth if a few get hurt is the only issue. That is a later season issue.
BYU has not beat a top 25 team outside Provo in 8 years.
Those are the facts and they are not changing.

So in the 3 wins you listed, those teams combined to win 12 games. That ucla team won 4 games and BYU was one of them.
As OP pointed out, the good offenses you faced had their way with the BYU defense. LSU isn't know for high powered offense but I wouldn't expect similar point outputs from some of the worst P5 teams of 2016. I don't think that's a leap.
I fully expect a competitive game but LSU is scoring more than 14. BYU isn't Bama. Also, if BYU is shifting to a more open passing attack this season, expect your defensive numbers to regress. Opponents will be getting more opportunities.

We lost one right guard on offense. Right guard is the easiest position on the offensive line to replace because right guards are road graders. They don’t pull that much and overall are not expected to do as much as left guards and they certainly don’t protect the quarterback’s back.
Not to mention, that we have several big reserve road graders capable of stepping in and that we can easily replace him with one of those guys. So, I doubt that we lost much. Not to mention, that last year’s offensive line with Ethan Pocic at center was ranked the best in the country. So instead of losing only one position on the offensive line this season as we anticipated, we are losing two positions instead. However, right guard on the offensive line is the easiest position to replace.

No way your offense will be able to run against LSU’s defensive front, which means that you guys will be one dimensional and one-dimensional teams rarely win and especially when they are going against DBU university. Good luck.
LSU is breaking in a brand-new offense that may or may not start slowly, but nonetheless, if it does we can always revert to pounding it down your throats with Derrius Guice. We will meet or exceed the spread either way.
