sad, sorry vet DLineman Lacouture and Gilmore.


I kind of had this sentiment going into the season but those two have been the opposite of "sad."
They won't be easy to replace, but I do think think that Lawrence, Feheko, Alexander > Lawrence, Lac, Gilmore.

I've never seen two experienced DLineman at LSU so ineffective.

Were you not around in 2013?
Upper Classmen Ego Ferguson and "Freak" Johnson accounted for 4 sacks that year.
Lac and Gilmore have 11 this year.


Back to the OP..
I somewhat agree with the two choices.

But there will be some sleepers on defense. Someone like Divinity, Thornton, or Jacoby might wow the world.

Offense. Giles is the most the polished and experienced WR we have. But I expect another WR to finally turn it up a notch. Davis, Sullivan or Anderson.
It's also not out of the realm of possibility that Marshall comes in and is the best WR after game 1.

Funny you should ask. This season Gilmore and Lacouture are tied for team lead in sacks (5.5 each) and tied for 2nd in TFL (7.0 - White has 8.5). Also Lacouture is 2nd on the team in tackles and Gilmore is 6th.
Lacouture was more then likely thrown into the qb on those sacks.

LOL. I can always count on you to post something negative. At least you're consistent.

He was, they're called coverage sacks. Lmao So, you were right on it, you just termed it wrong. I saw a couple he had like that where the QB had no one to throw to because everyone was well covered, and he could not escape the pocket with the pass rush outside forcing him to stay in the pocket until Lacouture finally managed to reel him in. lol
