You're mistaking a fact on someone returning for a fact that means the defense will be better
Yep.
Look, I think this defense could be awesome, but I don't know that they will be, and nobody else does.
20 years ago, we entered the season ranked #7 and we ended up with 7 losses. Nothing is certain in June.

The Miss State game last year was the perfect storm for LSU. On the road with injuries and no depth. Our STs was terrible in the loss to Troy and ND. If we have a decent STs in those two games, LSU wins.
If LSU had the depth it will have this year against Miss State, we would have beat them. I think we will likely lose to Bama and GA but even those two games will be close.
I know we have many question marks but this LSU team will be one of the toughest teams we've seen in a long time IMO. Then we will finally have depth on the LOS. Our WRs are very talented and now that we have a veteran QB that is accurate, I think it changes the game for LSU in 2018.
Now if we didn't have Burrow I could see many loses or games that could go either way depending on whether our QB would play well. I just think this guy will be solid for LSU and won't be rattled so easily. Our run game will be better than people think. Fournettes little bro is also a pretty good back IMO.
This team will surprise folks this year. I think we will beat Miami by a good margin if they can get it all together before the season starts. If we are learning on the go then we will have some close games to start the year and then finish strong. Auburn, GA and Bama scare me most. Auburn bc of the payback and in their backyard. The other two simply bc they're talented as frick. I think we whip State this year. I don't see FL improving all that much.

I don't know what is wrong with this board, but it is as anti-LSU as I have seen in quite some time.
LSU isn't losing to Miami or Texas AM. They aren't losing to Moo St either.
Auburn and Alabama are the two only real loss probabilities.
And, Georgia is taking a step back this season, period.
Maybe 2 losses this year. May beat Bama if burrow is as good as we think he will be.

I don't know. It's a toss up to me. There's something about this game that makes me uneasy.
I hated playing UGA. They always played us hard. Now Richt is at his alma mater and like the guy or not, he's a good coach. He'll have them ready.
I want to see us win, of course, but I don't know about that game. On the flip side, I do like knowing that we have Burrow and our defense should be solid. Having Aranda makes me feel better too.

We thought this last year and it was the worst shellacking in series history. And the Troy game happened.

I wouldn't bet on it. Fromm is really good. And they're loaded at RB, even with the loss of Chubb and Michel.

I'm praying you're right.

aying someone returns for a second season doesnt mean they're going to be better. That's not a fact that they will be better. Taylor, Phillips, chaisson, Vincent at the nickle or corner and whether its Alexander or someone else at the other corner opposite greedy are unknown on how they will perform. You're mistaking a fact on someone returning for a fact that means the defense will be better when we lose 2 corners who played a lot of ball the other middle linebacker 2 outside linebackers and 2 interior defensive lineman.
Greedy was unproven this time last year too
Lacouture, Donnie A, Herron and Gilmore are not significant losses. Hell none of them even got drafted.
Corey Thompson had a decent year but nothing earth shattering and Key had 1 dominant game all season.

You're making my point for me. They could be great, but they could be bad. Its unknown. It's not a given that the defense is gonna be better cause they return for another year.

Agree with Athlon regardless of the QB. Unproven RBs, OLine, receivers. Where is the scoring going to come from and then there is the defensive backfield. We all know those teams that are able to complete those short passes wear out a defense and if these guys can’t press because of their lack of ball skills, hips and strength then, the entire defense will be compromised.
Now go to the roster and see how many Mobil QBs there are and spread concepts they will face this season.

I don't know how acknowledging how difficult this year's scchedule is equates to being anti-LSU. Do you want real opinions or sunshine pumping?

Do you think my opinions are baseless?
I see a staff that has worked hard, tirelessly to correct problems inherited. They aren't resting, but doing all they can to make us a contender. Coach O though not perfect by any stretch is putting together an offense that will compete and the defense is lit.
Getting burrow sold to me that they are taking their jobs and the most prestigious job in LA seriously.
Now, if Burrow is capable of doing what we think with all the athletes around him with a seasoned offensive line, I reasonably believe this team can compete with anyone and best anyone.
The defense will be incredible in the front end 4 and hopefully we over perform at DB. I like our chances this year and believe we will surprise even the most pessimistic fans.

Are you saying you questioned whether or not they took their jobs seriously before this? Good God, some of you act like we hired a bunch of children to lead this program.
"They're trying really hard, guys." Well, they better fricking be.

Brennan started with Les.
As did Narcisse. Maybe they work out, maybe not.
Be patient, this year is going to be litty.

I dont think anyone is devaluing your opinion, they are only pointing out that an opinion is all that it is. You say “ I see a staff that has worked hard”. What does that translate to in on-the-field results? Not one person on this board can look forward in time and know, for a fact, what this offense or defense is capable of. You can take a shot at a prediction and “hope and pray” that your guess is correct. But, to state wins and losses as absolutes? I’m hoping for the best, but I’ll take the patient approach and evaluate after I see some actual live football against a team in a different color jersey. Remember, the opponent’s staffs/teams are working hard as well.

I second all you say within the body of work, but I also see others here assuring me that we will do no better than 8-4.
They fail to acknowledge how the staff has revamped the offensive line, stacked the receiver position, and went out and got the best graduate transfer QB on the market. There should be a level of optimism to counter the pessimism.
You are right though, I don't know for certain if we will defeat Miami, Georgia, Texas AM, or even Mississippi St. But, I do believe we are better equipped to do so now than at the end of the season. Why? Burrow. Kid has all the tools to be great. I hope the players accept him and gravitate to his leadership of he is so inclined to become one. Brennan and Narcisse should not transfer whatsoever, but compete and allow themselves this opportunity to better themselves these next two years in Ensmingers system. Burrow likely understands concepts offensively way more than either Brennan or Narcisse.
I understand the pessimism, but optimism is as real.
