When OP says started every game he's not being literal.

So which road loss in the SEC is the loss that makes it 5?
You're reaching.. hard. 3 losses? Sure. LSU was a 10 win team last year but didn't get to play a game against a rent-a-win.
Will LSU be worse this season than last? About the same I think

DEVIN White has a chance to be an AA while playing in the SEC. We had more than one guy named White on the defense last year, try and keep up

LSU was fortunate that they didn't have any OL go down with significant (i.e. season ending injuries) last year. However, except for maybe Pocic, every one of those guys played with injuries.
That aside, 11 is probably still ok. Yes, you would like more experienced depth, but it's not a perfect world. Hell, teams in the NFL generally only dress 7-8 OL a week.
It sucks losing the most experienced starter at the beginning of camp (Thehuma). But it's not the end of the world

Love Devin white, but damn losing Adams, Fournette, Pocic and Tre Shite to unproven talent? All those guys were established veterans and most AA. Can't rplug and play experience of that caliber even if Devin White blows up, we all know what Adams did for that defense. We will rely on some seriously young guys.
The whole LB group is less experienced by a long shot.

Assuming we don't have too many or any major injuries, we are probably ok this year. agree with you.
Next year, we lose Malone and could lose 1 or 2 to early NFL entry if Clapp, Weathersby or Brumsfield decided to come out early. With 3 OL committed and losing 2-3, we'd be in the same spot with 11 or 12.
The other issue, beside depth, is the lack of true OT. We could help ourselves by recruiting a top JUCO OT in this next class to give us depth and possibly a starting OT for 2018-19.

You'd have to be blind not to see his potential. All American is lofty but he could be a great one

My only point was loss of talent AND experienced players who had 2-3 SEC first team experience average.
I do think White will be better than Beck and can be an AA.
Who will be better than Pocic? Clapp could be about as good at guard. I believe is Clapp was as good at center from a cerebral standpoint he would have started there last year. Pocic should have been a right tackle or left guard.
Guice could be as good or better than LF. The intimidation of having BOTH of those guys was the key. Will CEH be better than Guice last year? That's a stretch.
There is no Jamal Adams AND Tre White with those ball skills and leadership/ smarts on this team. They may be in a couple years. Don't give me tha DBU BS. Losing 2 first rounders will hurt bad.
In my mind, the only position group that could be better is the DLINE - maybe. Will Canada scheming be enough to keep the offense on the field to score enough points to win so the defense doesn't have to play as many minutes? That's where the season is in balance. It will lie in the minds of the players in learning how to exploit the other teams match-ups during live play. Recognizing and reacting.
BTW - the off week before BAMA will haunt us once again because of preparation by Saban.

Well. Panic is too strong
But clearly, OL isn't our strength
Hopefully, Canada can game plan around it.
I look forward to finding out
