The "real test" next yr will be on offense ...

No the real test is if we make the playoffs as promised by O.

I feel like the real test was this past year for the offense and O and his chosen OC failed. So now we get to do it again.

Exactly.

This year we will have an elite defense though and if he can't generate enough offense in year 2 to have us in contention to win every game, that is unacceptable.

Lol


Jmo...I think it's gonna be really ugly on offense, unless Brennan becomes the GOAT at LSU at qb in some type of drew brees system , then we gonna suck badly....

Brees makes no name players into stars not to mention opens up truck holes for the running because of his passing.....Brennan will need to be "this"....dont see it....

I'm with you Cat if O can't win the the championship in year 2 with a fairly empty\young offense he should be shot then fired.

Winning the playoffs every year should be expected of any coach LSU hires and short of that he is a failure.And you're obviously a smart dude so how many points per game,avg. and to Bama, should our "elite" defense allow next year?

Over/under on your age is set at 15.

I just said our defense will be elite and if our offense isn't capable enough to give us a chance in every game, that is unacceptable.

In 2016 we had an elite defense and had a chance in every game, even Bama. In our 4 losses, we allowed 3 total TDs. That's the level of defense I expect next year.

We lost to Bama 10-0. I just hope our offense can deliver more than 0.

I think the RB spot is better than people realize too.

I think CEH is a lot stronger and more durable than people think and Curry will get a ton of hard carries.

1000%

They are being lost in the QB talk and OC talk. They are not flashy, big names like we have had in years past, but I think they can be more than serviceable and will be just fine.

personally I think our offense will be the worst it's been in 2 decades

James Cregg

After three seasons at his alma mater, Cregg moved on to Colgate (2000-03) and Idaho (2004-06), coaching the defensive line at both stops.

At Colgate, Cregg was part of a staff that led the Raiders to the 2003 NCAA Division I-AA championship game. Colgate won 21-straight games during his time on the coaching staff. In four years at Colgate, claimed two Patriot League titles and finished in the top 10 in the nation in rushing defense twice.

In 2009, he was hired to coach the offensive line at the University of Tennessee. That season, the Volunteers allowed just 12 sacks, tied for fewest on the Southeastern Conference.

Cregg spent one season in Knoxville before moving to California to become the offensive line coach at USC for the next four seasons (2010-13). Cregg coached first-team All-Pac-12 selections in each of his four years with the school, including offensive tackles and future NFL first-round picks Tyron Smith (No. 9, Dallas, 2011) and Matt Kalil (No. 4, Minnesota, 2012).

In 2011, USC finished second in the nation in sacks allowed (eight) despite not starting a senior along the offensive line. Kalil was named first-team All-America, while guard Marcus Martin was chosen as a first-team Freshman All-America.

IF LSU has the best Oline it's had in 2 decades it will be impossible to have the worst offense it has had in 2 decades.

I think our offense will be the worst it's been in 2 decades,

there is no way that our offense will be worse than some of miles' offense. '08, as an example (I might be getting the year confused), our OL was the worst in history. our offense could n't gain ONE YARD against Wisconsin 2 years ago in TWO tries and that was with leornard fricking fornette!

we have no stars, no soldiers, no all sec players, no top tier talent

do you even know the all sec players? I don't believe they have been selected yet.

We can return to a bowl or go mad negative next year and will define a new low in the modern lay football era....

---

pessimism is one thing man, but you are just over the top nuts. we have a lot of highly rated players on offense and will not define a new low of any era (much less your mythical modern lay era).

what you need to do is quit keeping up with LSU football. you take it way to serious. your mental health, which sounds precariously out of balance already, may depend on it.

The real test is developing a new starting QB that won't make us suffer too many growing pains. Sure hope it is one of the dual threats. Not that I dislike Myles. I just feel that we need a really good dual-threat to compete better in the SEC.
