I was thinking about this earlier. These teams feel similar in ability.

2018 LSU has more talent yet 2022 is the better coach team.

I think the dual threat QB would pose major issues for 2018 LSU but I think the defense and talent get it done.

2018 LSU
31

2022 LSU
27

I posted this because 2022 LSU reminds me of 2018 LSU. Set up year feeling. Kind of like the timer on the bomb is ticking and their getting ready to really explode and be a true threat and contender.

2018 has Joe Burrow. So them.

Chase/Jefferson/Marshal/Dillon would shred this secondary.

2018 easy. That team was awesome and laid the foundation for 2019.

TAMU game was robbery. Joe made the only really bad throw of his tenure here vs UF. Crazy that team could have been 11-1 with an only loss Bama.

Yes but it worked out for the best. Would have played Texas in the Sugar Bowl with most of our defense out. Wouldn’t have wanted them in our heads for the matchup in Austin.

I honestly don’t think this years team is particularly close to as good as the 2018 team. There are a few position groups this team has a solid argument that they are better, but 2018 had a much more talented roster.

Thats a tough question:

QB: push - Burrow was in an antiquated offense and JD's ability to run makes it even.

RB: push - neither group is good, both are average. I'd say 2022 has more speed and depth but Brosette and Clyde were both solid.

WR: 2022 - Kayshon and Co are all in year 2 and 3 while the 2018 crew (minus Jefferson) were all freshman.

OL: 2022 - 2018's OL was a disaster. While 2022 hasn't been dominant per se, they are getting better and their top 5 group has shown to be solid.

TE: 2018 - Moreau as a senior is better than freshman Mason Taylor.

Interior DL: 2018 - Wingo and Roy have been good but Lawrence, Alexander, Logan, Ferrell, and Fehoko were immovable and deep.

Edge: 2022 - Chaisson got hurt in the first game and I'm not sure he was better than Ojulari anyway. Then you add in Perkins and its a wrap.

LB: 2018 - Devin White is better than anyone we have on the team.

CB: 2018 - Greedy and Fulton were better than Garner and JBC although our CBs this year are solid.

NB: 2022 - I think Ward is better than Vincent. Both are average cover guys but Ward plays the run better. He needs to knock off the extra shite as well as realize that he weighs 150lbs so he should wrap up more and big hit less.

S: 2018 - Delpit, Battle, and Stevans are better than the 2022 crew. Just like the CBs, I think the 2022 group is playing really well, the 2018 S's are just a bunch of savvy vets and All Americans.

STs: 2018 - I don't even need to explain this one.

position group advantage score:

2022: 4
2018: 6
Push: 2

My score prediction:

2022 - 24
2018 - 17

Reasoning: even though the 2018 team had more position group advantages, their OL really struggled and I think that Ojulari, Wingo, Perkins, and Roy would be all over Burrow and I don't think their RBs are good enough to carry the day. On the flip side, I think Daniels ability to run would generate enough points to win.

2018. The D is better and I give the edge to burrow at QB. I think it’d be close though.
