re: the outside football world doesn't understand how much talent

We'll be talked about if we only lose to Bama this year. You can bet on that. I agree with OP. We bringing out the full potential of this entire team and will look very good because of it. If we beat Auburn, Florida, Tennensee then play a great game with Bama, coming down to the wire with them, everyone will know that it's a new day in BR. Recruiting will pick up as well. If Etling has a good year, gets drafted, and we can play Brennen in some competitive action then QB recruiting will pick up.

With that the rest of the offense should follow it. OL, WRs, RBs, Ect. will all want to come play for a team that can knock Bama off. Why wouldn't you? With each person that wants to be an the Bama roster there are 10 that can't and want to beat them. What better school to come to do that than LSU. GT
