quote:

It was fun while it lasted. Replacing Joe Burrow and passing game coordinator Joe Brady will be a massive undertaking. But if it’s Myles Brennan or a transfer, the new LSU QB has certified monsters to throw to in Ja’Marr Chase and Terrace Marshall. The defense could require a lot of renovation as well, as players make their decisions on whether to stay in school or go pro.

That’s fair. As much as people might not want to hear it. Might be fair just on Brady and burrow alone. But we were also very experienced. We only had three non-draft eligible players in our starting 22.

Next year will be rebuilding in all likelihood

ETA: frick pat forde and the “fun while it lasted” line was horseshite. But I do think tenth is about what I’d put our odds at for winning the natty next year

Don't care

We will either move up or not.

Preseason rankings are useless.

His bias shines through with the "It was fun while it lasted" line. That was unnecessary.

Of course he does. He chose Clemson to win this time.

Well if the media is going to do preseason polls I think LSU deserves the utmost respect for what they did

I understand 4 at the lowest because of what we are losing but 10 is ridiculous

Absolutely worthless until we know which players from which teams end up declaring for the NFL.

He was also one of the tards beating the drum for Clemson all year talking about them being number 1 because they won last year and didn't lose this year. So this is just hypocrisy on his part.

I don't know for certain that he has something against LSU. For him I just apply the maxim "Don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by incompetence."

Coach O could not draw this up any better. Brennan saw the way Burrow worked and learned the secret to success.

Fly under the radar and smack everyone in the mouth come game time.

He and the other goons at Yahoo are worthless. They don’t like LSU.

He also picked Georgia #2 in that poll which just shows his ineptness.

It's not that far off. We're going to get decimated by the draft.


From the defense we'll lose:
Lawrence
Delpipt
Fulton
Chaisson
Vincent
Fehoko
Phillips (possibly)
Queen (possibly)

Offense:
Burrow
Jefferson
Moss
CEH
Lewis
Deculus (possibly)
Cush (possibly)
Charles (possibly)

Yep.

LSU ranked #6 at the start of this year based largely on how many starters they were returning. Now, they are likely going to be replacing several starters. One of those being the QB who had a one in a lifetime type season. And they are also replacing the guy who for all intents and purposes was the architect of the remarkable offensive turnaround. Couple that with the fact the schedule is probably a little less favorable than last season (road trips to Florida, Auburn and A&M) and 10 is reasonable (though I'd argue they could be a spot or two higher)

Where did Forde have us last year? Consider the source before you put credibility to the report.
