It is nice having 2 complete and compete DL Units

we have 3 good players to rotate at DE in combinations, Pyburn Butler Payton, but i think we’ll feel it more against bigger teams who want to run power more.

6-8, it really depends on how well his backups play. If Cobbins can go off, maybe a 6.

You forgot Shanklin, I think he had 2 sacks last week and may have caused a fumble?

3.

Coach Peoples is the biggest reason I’m not too upset about loss of production.

Peoples, Kyle Williams, and Baker will make sure our D is elite

Impact is maybe a 2-3. He had 8 tackles(4 solo) and no sacks. He will be missed as far as depth. It’s not a really devastating loss like it would be for Delane for example. We have numbers there.

No disrespect to Reliford, but he didn’t get any part of those sacks and doesn’t have a QB hurry either.

The kid Damien Shanklin 6’5” 260# from Indy. True freshman, came in last week and had two sacks. He’s going to be a good one.

Hoping this is a coming out party for Mr. Shanklin!

LSU has an embarrassment of riches at D End ((Deepest Position on team))) that have spoiled some fans ....

There are likely several teams that would like to NIL Dylan Carpenter away from BRLA
...Utah ; Iowa ; Nebraska ; Wisconsin ; Kansas State; TCU; Texas Tech etc

But he loves LSU too much ...CBK even complimented Dylan Saturday night
