re: Tough season opener at UCLA will tell Coach O a lot about LSU

quote:

LSU has far superior talent than UCLA. Per 247sports, UCLA's last 3 classes are ranked 40th, 33rd and 31st.

LSU is ranked 3rd, 4th and 5th over the same period.

If LSU doesn't win this game by double digits then it's on the coaches.

Right. That's why I said in a previous post that UCLA is about on par with Kentucky. I used Kentucky because posters here are probably a little more familiar with Kentucky than UCLA. You can argue that MSU builds their teams in similar fashion but MSU lands a few more 4 stars here and there.

The problems that these type of teams present is the fact that they have good experienced 3 star talent and in the opening game that experienced talent can surprise inexperienced superior talent.

The good news for LSU is we have a lot of 4 and 5 star experienced talent returning this year with 4 and 5 star inexperienced talented depth especially in the trenches and even at the QB position.

LSU shouldn't be taken by surprise this year like they were taken by surprise by MSU last year.
