my take on the 2018 football season

I think this team has the POTENTIAL to be one of the best teams we have fielded for quite a while. the team seems very balanced for a change.
1. DEFENSE. frankly, I was disappointed in our defense a number of games last year. it not only failed to maintain the lead against notre dame but it gave up 37 points to MSU and did not dominate Troy(I know, Aranda is sacred but I call 'em like I see 'em). this year, however, I think our front 7 will be one of the best in college football and we have talent in the secondary. only one spot lacks some experience and that ain't too bad. I think we take a forward stride and keep this team in every game.
2.SPECIAL TEAMS: well, we have a coach and hopefully a kicker. other than the auburn game last year our kicker(s) were awful. I expect very solid special team play; therefore, an improvement.
3.OFFENSE: I think this will be the most balanced offense we've had in a long while; it's just going to take some time to develop. while we do not have a Hill, Fournette or Guice, we have some quality backs. we have a stable of outstanding WR's and a good WR coach; ditto for TE's. AND, we now have a QB that is capable of putting it all together. provided, that is, our OL can get healthy and get sorted out and eventually gel. the center position is concerning and so is the RT to an extent. I think the talent is there and so is the coaching but they have to grow up fast with Miami and Auburn being 2 of the first three games we play. this offense will improve all season and will be very good by years end.
our schedule will be very difficult this year but that also means a fans delight. I expect some monumental games that will be fun to watch and hopefully, we can start filling the stadium again bringing back some excitement we've lost since 2014. in some respects, being competitive and having an exciting team is as important as the record. esp. if the fans see improvement and there is hope for further improvement for the next year. I am tired of boring games, stagnant offenses and in game coaching miscues.
precise pre season record predictions are mostly bunk. this team will be 8-4 at worst and 11-1 at best.

LSU has lost 4 games in the regular season only THREE times since 2001.
2002
2008
2014
All of those teams had disasters at QB and very subpar defense by LSU standards.
If O goes 8-4 with a loaded Aranda D and an Urban Meyer trained fourth year player at QB he should be fricking toast.
Period.

Great analysis. Burrow’s rapid development will make or break our season. Too bad we have no cupcake games to open the season with. Gonna be fun to watch. My big hope is that by Ala our offense is rolling.

Coach Burrow (D-1 defensive coordinator) made the visit with his son and the meeting with coaches was scheduled to last 2 hours and turned into a 4 hour meeting.
The fact a D-1 DC would help his son choose LSU means he is impressed and has confidence/faith in the coaches and scheme that will be molding his son’s future.

If, after all this we still lose 4 games then O is just as bad as I feared and should he shown the door immediately.
