The false narrative...”LSU is a young team”

Very true

Eh I mean you only named about 8 starters. There are 14 other positions on the field that are being filled by freshman/sophomores. Also, a few of those guys have been hurt for a majority of our games this season, causing even more freshman to play and gain much needed experience.

I wouldn't just call them a "young team", but they are young a some key positions, like O line.

Yes 8 starters is alot it's almost half your starting 22.

LSU only started like 5 true freshmen this season.

Also started or not those guys are depth with experience.

We fricked with farmer Fran.

Here is some info from the LSU website:

this is about true freshmen and doesn't take into account the redshirt freshmen.

True Freshmen Continue to Play Big Roles at LSU
* So far this season, 20 true freshmen have played for the Tigers, which is tied for the most in the nation after seven weeks of the season.

* With Charles' start against BYU, he became the first true freshman to start a season opener on the offensive line since at least World War II.

* LSU's eight true freshmen starters in 2017 are the most since at least 2005

* The four true freshmen (Charles, Chaisson, Taylor and Delpit) who started the season opener matched the total number between 2000-16.

* The four true freshmen starters were the most in the nation to start the 2017 season

On the 2-deep on both sides of the ball I think they have a combined 11 total seniors. Break down the 2-deeps and count the number of true frosh, redshirt frosh , and true sophomores.

There is no point in posting depth charts on here most posters are too dumb to realize that the depth chart is the true indicator of how young a team is. I guess they think starters play every play

You're ruining the narrative for these idiot coach O lovers.
