re: LSU football 2018 breakout players

The defense overall hasn't been impressive like years past, especially last season. They have been up and down, stats do not tell the whole story. White has been impressive this season, but even he has stumbled on occasions. Him and Battle looked terrible in whiffing on that should have been sacked effort on Bama's Hurt. Lacouture may be second, but that just tells me how bad the D has been this season that a D tackle is second on the team in tackles. I have watched Lacouture and Gilmore, they just aren't good D tackles imo, average at best and will be drafted low in the NFL draft. But I think the guys taking over after them starting next season will be real good and the defense will be much improved next season.
