They are being praised for great defensive players even though they were atrocious last year.

Because they have some really good defensive players...

Now what have they done to improve, get a little older.

Yeah. Just like a lot of LSU players that you and I probably think are going to be good.
quote:

Atrocious to elite?

I never said that they are going to have an elite defense?
quote:

They have a new DC but that takes time to gel....

Sure, just like it will take time for LSU's entirely new offensive line to gel, along with the 18 transfers we brought in.

Im not saying LSU will win this game, especially given how they have played in openers

So wtf are you arguing with me about? All I said is that I think Clemson has the advantage in this game.

Well apparently they are not stealing everyone’s calls on offense now so makes your wonder who good their defense ever was. We know it’s a big deal as Michigan won a natty doing it.

That said I think they deserve to be considered a contender until proven otherwise

I 100% agree with you. That particular year it was why LSU got in with 2 loses. I just think the mentality that tough OOC games could end your season with a loss goes back to the “old days” of the MNC through the BCS.


100% agree, but even if it didn't it bothers me how many are willing to run from a good fight. I just can't get into the "it's not fair so we need water down our schedule just in case" mentality. And i'll never be able to.

Your analysis is fine, but they do have 3 players projected to go top10 in next year's draft. The also have experience at most positions. They deserve pre-season hype. The actual games will sort it out.

Both teams look like pre-season top10 teams. Game will be exciting.
