Key and Valentine. Can't wait to see how Aranda uses Key and can't wait to see TV because he is an imaginary unicorn

Man, it is so hard to not be excited about everybody! Guice, Key, Valentine, White, etc.

I'm way past the point of getting "Excited" over the potential performances of individual players.

60's/70's/80's/90's/2000's.

Charlie Mac, Stovall, Arnsparger, Archer, Hallman, DiNardo, Saban, Miles.

Elementary, Junior HS, Senior HS LSU Sunshine Pumper.
LSU Student/Tiger Band drummer.
LSU Alum. Fan. Alumni Band.

Been there, done that.

Nothing much excites me any longer except for the Big Boy SEC night games in Tiger Stadium. (Particularly the ones against Ole Miss and Alabama because of old, long standing rivalry's with relatives from Mississippi and Alabama)

* "Looking Forward" to seeing how much improvement (If Any) Brandon Harris makes in the passing game.
* LF to seeing what Etling can do if he gets a chance.
* LF to seeing if the OL can get their shite together in Pass Blocking and how much they can improve their Reads/Assignments as a Unit.
* LF to seeing what the "TV Man" brings to the field and if he can stay eligible.
* LF to seeing if Divinity and White can make any kind of impact on Defense.
* LF to seeing how long it takes for the entire Defense to perfect the Aranda 3-4 with all the reads, calls and assignments.
* LF forward to seeing if LM learned anything from 2015 and becomes a little less stubborn and a little more "Progressive" with the Offense.
* LF to seeing if Llinas can produce creative and entertaining GBFTL halftime shows that don't put us all to sleep....................

Guice, some of the younger WRs, TV, Beckwith, Divinity, D Jackson, and Savion Smith. Also I would really like to see some of our freshman lineman step up huge and Gilmore/Herron. Basically the guys we haven't heard much from and hopefully they ready to blast this defense into the top 3 in the nation!! Let's go big!!

Everyone sleeping on Godchaux. Could be AA by end of the year boys and girls. He is my choice

The defensive backfield. Like all of them. At first I was gonna say Jamal Adams. But I'm so pumped to see Tolliver and White just lock down opposing receivers. I see Jackson having a Honey Badger - esque play making ability. And I'm excited about what the two freshman, Smith and Fulton, might bring to the table.

I'm really excited to Godchaux and Chark. Godchaux could be our best player on defense and I'm waiting to see if Chark has that "it" factor. 3 days boys.

Easy.. Brandon Harris.

All these other guys being mentioned are the pillows, sheets, blankets, frame etc.,

Brandon Harris is the mattress that completes our bed... And on that mattress, lay our season.

Sure, Key and some of the other veterans will be great, but the ones I'm really anxious to see are the newcomers. Divinity, White and Lawrence on defense, and Caleb Roddy on offense.

I might get laughed at for this one, but I'm anxious to see Josh Growden punt. Jamie Keehn was the worst I've ever seen at LSU. His average looks good, but his kicks were so inconsistent that we gave up good field position too often.

Oh, I forgot Valentine.

Where the opposing quarterback will throw the ball with our lockdown DBs is beyond me


I really like our DBs, but we've had one, and only one, lock down DB in the 45 years I've watched LSU football. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that was Patrick Peterson.

We could single up PP on the best receivers in the game, and he would win the battle - not every play, but over the course of the game.

Mo Claiborne, Jimmy Britt, Tyrann, Mike Williams, Gino Daniels, Tre White, Cory Webster and probably a dozen other great corners we've had could hold their own against the good ones, but they could not erase them. That's almost impossible.

Wisconsin will have open receivers. Whether their QB can find them and deliver is something we'll soon find out.

I can't really narrow it down to one

A lot of experienced talent as well as young talent

I'm interested to see how Jackson and Tolliver do in the secondary in their second years

I'm mainly just interested to see how the new look defense is going to perform and who will excel there.
