re: BYU Defensive Breakdown

If it's all we have to go on, then I'd rather show some patience and just wait to see, rather than predicting all sorts of stuff. It being all we have to go on isn't much without context.

I don't think many are seriously predicting a defensive shutdown. It's a combination of BYU having a pretty good D, and mostly a hope that LSU can shoot themselves in the foot to start things off. Not entirely unreasonable to hope for that considering a new coach, new offense, new players, game 1. False starts, other penalties, unnecessary turnovers. Things happen.

But you'll have to get a bunch of LSU fans to confirm this idea that the OL issues are a "misinterpretation." I think it's pretty obvious to everyone this isn't going to be last year's OL. You hope it's not but come on, you're one more injury away from starting what, 4 freshmen?
They should be solid if Clapp is good to go full time, Weathersby, Malone. But the depth has really been hit and no matter how you slice it, replacing Teuhema straight up ain't happening right away.

BYU 71st in what?
