re: LSU’s X-factor in 2023, LSU’s key to a title, who might it be?

The X Factor is how we finish in the transfer portal. We have 6-7 open spots and we need to fill them with impact guys on defense.
1 CB
1 S
1 MLB
1 Edge
1 DT
1 C
Atleast. There’s a ridiculous amount of talent in the portal let’s reel them in.

Special teams playing Special and Mistake free.

No need to be a jerk to the guy.

I think LEDs in TS would look awesome. I wasn't a fan of it at first but the more I see it in other stadiums, it looks pretty cool.


I don't care about "oh we're trying to be like ________" Times change. It's not like the LEDs will be on the entire game. The lights that are there aren't bad for regular illumination for the game but If Tiger Stadium is rocking and we get some purple LEDs over the entire crowd during a tv commercial break or a TD or something and it fires up the crowd even more, and potential recruits, that's awesome.

NFL fans, who watch college, always make the mistake of thinking next year’s edition of a player is the same as last year’s. These are kids who are rapidly changing.

A great example is Dellinger, who was getting manhandled as a freshman but was a very competent lineman the very next year.

Perkins was an obvious talent, but he didn’t know enough to play half the snaps last year. He should be a much bigger force next year - not necessarily more impactful when he’s on the field, just in that he’ll be on the field more.

Harold Perkins. Gonna need to wreak havoc on the QB as much as possible given how thin we are at every position.

Weeks! He’s killing it in the All American Bowl practices.

Practice? We talkin' bout practice? Practice?

Maason Smith

It’s Daniels or nobody on offense. It’ll be Perkins and Smith on defense. We get a whole offseason for all 3 to get better.

There’s far more talent on this team than that.

Despite my concern with his lack of aggressiveness in the passing game the easy answer is JD. If he learns to trust himself and his receivers the offense will be dynamic. If he can start making plays over the top and improve with timing throws, that coupled with his running ability will make him a nightmare to defend.

Defensively Perkins is a human x-factor. One more season in the S&C program and House will find more ways to move him around. He's capable of delivering game changing plays every week.

JD5's consistency in the passing game. We all know how dynamic he is running the ball..... but if we are gonna make a playoff run,no more 80 yard passing games.

When Cincy’s run game is going well, Burrow doesn’t throw for much yards at all.
