Will LSU have a better chance to make a run in ‘18 or ‘19?

I keep seeing posters point to 19. I’m not sure ‘18 doesn’t set up better.

‘18- You have questions all over the offense and the schedule is tough but by far the three hardest games are at home. Vs Miami will be on a neutral site where LSU will have a large crowd advantage.

‘19- You for sure lose: Devin White, Greedy Williams, Garret Brumfield, John Battle, Rashard Lawrence, Foster Moreau.

2019 schedule includes @Bama, @State, @Texas, @ Ole Miss

ETA: My bad I thought we went to UGA since they come here this year. I removed it

Where are you getting the @Georgia from?

ETA: Looks like LSU will be going to Vandy

Under O, whatever year we're in, the next calendar year is the one in which we'll make a run.

Good point with the road games next year but I went from pretty optimistic to nervous over last few weeks. For one realizing 7 of top 10 sec qbs returns this season. Also the Dlines for AU State & Bama are gonna be sick. With Miami & UF right behind them. With Ingram down, Traore not being that big time pick up, and ?’s about RT have me very concerned. Cush I was worried but I started watching film of gsmes he played n last year and if snapping gets better he’s gonna be fine. We need Burrow and LN to play big. People mentioned a lot of vertical passing. Well they better figure out ways to offset these elite pass rushes. Our qb May not have time for deep routes to develop often

Not so sure about us losing Rashard Lawerence after this year. We’re not going to lose a lot of guys. We’ll return a lot and have a great class come in. Most likely return our starting QB, and the run game should pick up better by next year. Not saying we can’t make damage in 18, but in 19, I can see us making a playoff run with a less brutal schedule than this years.

Depends on who's coaching the team in '19.

If it's o, same chances as this year. If it's someone else, the chances will be better.

The third year, it's always the coaches third year at LSU.
Plus, no Miami, AU at home and A&M at home won't hurt either. MS St loses half their starters next year and Ole Miss and Arkansas should still be in the crapper. The schedule will be 2-3 games easier.

When we have a coach who will be the best coach on the field for 7 or 8 games. Right now we will have the second best coach in arguably every game.

I’ve been saying this.

Cole Tracey is one and done too. Not to mention Giles and Fehoko would be prime candidates to leave if they are as good as we think they can be, and add college graduate Burrow to that group as well.


And aside from those road games, there is very little doubt that Florida, TAM, and even Arkansas, while at home, will be much better in year 2 under their new coaches (year 2 is the time for marked improvement under quality coaches).


The bottom line is if we don’t have the staff to get us to 10-2 and a NY6 Bowl this year they won’t be the ones to do it the next year either.

It doesn’t get easier. The SEC is coming out of a historic slump for the past two years. This is the time to strike while the rest of the West is just starting the climb back up.


History shows that if a coach doesn’t get to Atlanta by Year 2 they never do.

I think the advantage we have in 18 is we can probably get into the playoffs with 1 loss fairly easily because of the brutal schedule

The 19 schedule might require perfection

Opened this thread expecting it to be about the basketball team. The only run the football team will make under the Ogre is the run to dump season tickets

2019 easily, schedule gets easier and in theory, if Burrow came back, we wouldn't lose a ton. There's like 3 senior starters on this team.

Better in 2019 and I say this if we don't have weird transfers.

The entire starting OL and every backup will return

Every QB will return and if not, at least the starter and one backup who will have gotten snaps in games

Every WR will return

All RBs but Brossette and Ducre return, plus we bring in what I believe will be at the very least, the #2 in production by the end of his freshman season, Tyrion Davis.

On defense you might lose Lawrence, but I'd bet he returns. You'll lose Battle, the Stanford transfer, White, and Greedy. LSU is still freaking loaded and will have talent, depth, and experience on all three levels of defense.

Miss St, Auburn, and Ole Miss lose everything. We most likely will play Vandy from the East, and UF and TAMU come to Baton Rouge. I see Texas being really good next year, and Bama as well, but the schedule is roses next year compared to this year.

If LSU can gain the much needed experience on offense, and gain experience with depth on defense, the 2019 season sets up for a huge year, I'm talking 11-1/12-0. This year we are getting shite on with the Fulton situation, the schedule, the OL, the new offense, new coaches at several offensive positions, all the inexperienced players on offense, etc.
