can you specifically point to one example on offense? Go back to last year.
Guice? No
Any OLinemen? No
Etling? No - his was health
Receivers? He admitted to this saying he doesn't have 4 that he trusts and several have been there more than a year.
Beossette gotten any better? No

So do tell.... what offensive talent have we "noticeably developed".

You think it's normal for this many true freshmen to be playing such meaningful roles on an extremely good football team?

And our receiving core, which was thought to be a big time weakness this year, has looked tremendous. I don't think they've had a single dropped pass yet. When's the last time we could say that? You don't think coaching has anything to do with that?

I'm by no means a sunshine pumper, but those young guys have looked very well coached up to me.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot about Sullivan's drop. That one was bad. Other than that, the WRs have far exceeded my expectations. Thanks tigeralum06 for the reminder.

Quote from Link:
The scoop: LSU's hiring of offensive coordinator Matt Canada (previously at Pitt) after last season is already creating vertical opportunities for LSU WR D.J. Chark. Some in the scouting community believe he will fly up draft boards thanks to his speed and ability to return punts.

The skinny: I rated Chark the No. 6 WR to watch heading into the season, but that already seems to be too low, according to what I'm hearing from scouts. Chark has blazing speed and saw 8 of his 26 catches in 2016 go for 25 yards or more. Through two games this season, Chark is averaging 25.7 yards per catch (7 grabs for 180 yards) and returned two punts for touchdowns in last weekend's win over Chattanooga (although one was called back on a penalty). Matt Canada's offense allows for more frequent shots down the field off of play-action. With RB Derrius Guice forcing safeties to creep near the line of scrimmage for run support, Chark could be in for a big season and a trip up draft boards.

Our whole team literally looks much faster, they play smarter, they look technically sound, our OL looked very good against BYU, we'll see in this game.

Our RB depth and WR depth is much much better now. Guice looks stronger, Williams looks leaner, White is leading the LBs as a sophomore. Our DBs are stepping up as well. O is making these guys compete now, there jobs aren't going to be given to them just bc they started last year, that means the older guys will have to start playing hard, and practicing hard like the younger guys to keep their spots. This will improve our team tremendously.

Dude STFU, you make yourself look so ignorant. You know nothing about football OBVIOUSLY. Man you're one of the most loud but idiotic people in this place and that's saying something.
