Call it a hunch or whatever, but a lot of people are going to get caught sleeping on LSU this year. This is the first season in a while we’ll be able to play the underdog role on a regular basis, and I think we’ve got the ability to fully take advantage of that. Despite the experts predictions, LSU is still a program closer to competing for a title than a program competing for bowl eligibility.

We will be better on offense and defense this year... again IMO... and that’s from a team that really should have won 10+ games if not for the brain farts against Troy and NotreDame.

I was underwhelmed by the Ensminger Hire (mainly due to the promises made by Orgeron when getting the job), but I do expect our offense to be more efficient and stable and balanced this year. Our offense will find an identity, something it lacked last year.

Defense will be better, special teams will be better.

We’ll see what happens, but I sincerely believe this will be a 10-win LSU team.

LSU will roll Miami. If we don’t, I was wrong, but I have a strong feeling about it

I'll disagree with you on this point. We had an identity last year, it just wasn't the one Orgeron wanted. After Troy, we ran the ball about 2/3 of the time and implemented more shifts and jet sweeps. Just like Canada was doing at Pitt the prior year.

We will be more balanced this season, and I believe this can be a 10-win team, too, but we really need to win some big games. Something that has been a problem for Orgeron.
