LoL!! This is LSU dude. WTF is wrong with you? Last year was the worst team LSU fielded in the past twenty years. What am I missing?

It was the worst defense that LSU fielded in the past 20 years. The offense was fine for most the season, especially considering freshmen started most of it.

Also, "This is LSU", but I wouldn't say LSU has a great history of tight ends. The top 2 TE's on the roster this spring are Kole Taylor who's probably a 4 year player in the mold of Foster Moreau, and a former pitcher turned TE in Nick Storz.

Jack Bech is coming in, and should serve the same kind of role that Gilbert would have. But your going from someone with tight end size that can play receiver, to someone who has wide receiver size that can play tight end.
