Ed Orgeron’s first full season at the helm in Baton Rouge begins with a familiar question: What will LSU get out of its offense? It’s no secret the Tigers have one of the nation’s top running backs in Derrius Guice and a strong foundation to build around on the offensive line. New coordinator Matt Canada was one of the SEC’s top assistant hires for 2017, but this offense needs more from its passing attack. Danny Etling had offseason back surgery but will return in time for fall practice and is expected to hold onto the starting job. Etling’s performance is critical to LSU’s hopes of pushing Alabama in the SEC West. In addition to the concerns about quarterback production, there’s also uncertainty at receiver, as just one player (D.J. Chark) returns with more than 10 catches. LSU’s defense returns only four starters, but under coordinator Dave Aranda, this unit will be one of the best in the nation next fall. End/linebacker Arden Key could lead the SEC in sacks in 2017. Cornerback Donte Jackson should push for All-SEC honors, and true freshman JaCoby Stevens could see significant playing time at safety. Linebacker is Aranda’s biggest concern. Talent certainly isn’t an issue in Baton Rouge. However, the Tigers will only go as far as the quarterback play allows it to.

For the first time in years, the answer to this question is actually TBD. We all knew what we were getting before, despite what we were sold in the offseason.
I have confidence that Canada will get the most out of this roster.

Jarrett Stidham will be the best QB in the SEC. I think that's enough to at least give them the hype in preseason.

Agreed. I will never understand the pre-season hype they get some years. They're becoming like Ohio State was a few years ago, but I don't think I'd put them on the same "brand name recognition" tier as OSU. I'm guessing this is based on Stidham coming in and the defense they're supposed to put out there.

Stidham is a beast and they had a great defense last year under Steele

They're gonna be pretty solid.
That fricker Daniel Carlson is worth a win by himself. What a kicker.
