By the same logic, the football program doesn't deserve the same compliments as there has been no improvement, unlike the basketball program.

i didn't see your post, for one.

The football team did see improvement. The offensive line improved for sure, as did the young defense as the year went on. As shown by the chart below, we have a lot to look forward too in terms of young players coming up.

Look at the schools around us on this chart. 7-6, 2-10, 7-6, 7-6, 1-11.

This is what generally happens when you are forced to play young players.

sammy im not going to lie, i have a hard time understanding a lot of your posts., what type of device do you use to access this board?

We can make this simple. This is post-new hire.

Basketball program:

- Expectation: Improvement in play and overall record.
- Potential to meet expectation: Very High

Result: Marked improvement in play and overall record.


Football program:

- Expectation: Improvement in play and overall record.
- Potential to meet expectation: Moderate

Result: No improvement in play or overall record.


Please explain why you can't understand why the basketball program is getting buzz that the football program isn't. It seems quite clear to everyone else.

man, everyone goes quiet when the guy says were weren't a young team and then the freshmen snap chart comes up

---

The chart includes RS freshmen. That means it's counting snaps played by:

Greedy Williams
Monroe
Cam Lewis
Culp
Thornton
Von Rosenberg
Savage
Cushenberry
Pettigrew
Glen Logan

There's certainly a distinction between those guys and true freshmen 6 months removed from HS.

No improvement in play

you dont think the OL and DEF got better last year?

What about the one that beat LSU by 30 or the one that made the playoff with a first year HC?

Why exclude them?

both have future NFL QBs, as did Louisville.


but go ahead and attempt to discredit the fact LSU was young AF

right, guys who have never played a college snap before.

The criteria remained the same for all teams.

Again, NegaO's can never just take something for what it is. They must discredit discredit discredit. Why?

what am i discrediting?


you can't even acknowledge LSU was a young team when the facts are right under your nose

again, at the risk of repeating myself, playing freshman in mop up time against BYU does not make you a young team.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
Facts don't stain the furniture
Facts go out and slam the door
Facts are written all over your face
Facts continue to change their shape

But guys that have been in a college strength and conditioning program for 1.5 years and have been in the program learning the playbook and scheme.

ok.

every other P5 team had the same criteria when making hte chart.

and most of the RSFR you listed didnt even play a full season, much less participated in anything more than special teams
