Tech has a bye week 3. Should at least be prepared for the game.

I think the strength of our team will be the OL.

Def dominates and holds opponents under 300 ypg, more like 285 and only 15 ppg. Good enough to make a run if the offense shows up. Our DL will be tough as will the LB (front 7 domination)

LT- Breiden Fehoko 6'3" 300
C- Ed Alexander 6'3" 340
RT- Uncle Phil 6'3" 300

With Shelvin, Logan, Ferrell and company as solid backups

OLB- K'Loven 6'4" 250
Rover- Mr. White 6'1" 248
MLB- Jacob Phillips 6'3" 237
OLB- Dantrieve Scott 6'5" 255

Plenty of backups like Tyler Taylor, Divinity, Ray Ray Thorton, Andre Anthony, and the freshmen Cherry and Travez Moore

Surprise surprise Curry and CEH dominate the running game, with Tae Provens looking like Alvin Kamara out of the backfield as a 3rd down back. Yes, Esminger will take a page from the Saints success and with all our talented WR, he will put on a mix of air raid and a solid run game to put up 450 ypg.

To get the above our OL will have to show up and they will. We will miss Clapp and not miss Weathersby. Our starters will look like this:

LT- Badara Traore 6'6" 320
LG- Garrett Brumfield 6'4" 300
C- Lloyd Cushenberry 6'4" 320
RG- Sadiq Charles 6'5" 325
RT- Austin Deculus 6/5" 330

We will have Ingram, Magee, Campbell and Savage back as backups with experience and a nice class of freshmen Damien Lewis, Cameron Wire, Cole Smith and I think Dare Rosenthal should switch to Tackle and replace Traore in 2 years.

Even with all that dominance we go a respectful 10-2, worse 9-3 and win our bowl game this time. If our defense puts up those numbers that I mention above and Ensminger gets the offense going look out- if our QB's develop and the WR learn to run crisp routes then its possible to go 11-1. We have the talent

I believe!!!

Losses to Miami, UGA, AU, MSST, Alabama are a forgone conclusion. UF is likely as well. Can’t wait to see what this new kicker can do though.


LSU is cancelling these games and saving the money, after all you got it figured out and they listen.

Your "way too early" bold prediction for LSU Football

LSU will win at least 9 games next season. I only say this is a bold prediction because of how many people there expecting us to lose 6+ games

Despite the attrition, the offense will average more passing yards per game and more total yards per game than last years offense.

Defense will finish the season ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense.

They will be the most penalized team in the SEC.

Final poll unranked. That's right, I said it.

Turns out they saved more than expected promoting Steve and the remaining costs have been pushed to the fans.

7-5 regular season. Trip to Walk-Ons Bowl. After a season of meddling in the offense to add more power running, more 2 TE sets, more 2 RB sets, rather than the 3 and 4 wide sets SE wanted to run.......

O tells the press he is hands off the offense for the bowl game.

We score 6 points with 3 turnovers.

Everyone is fired.

We offer Woodward HC money to be AD. And he finds the best HC he can.

Golden Age of Tiger Football dawns.

I see 8-4 with losses to Bama,

Throwback defense and a solid showing from MB secures a much-needed win over the gumps in DV.

My bold prediction is that the team actually is pretty good! I think our ceiling is 9-3 and the floor could be as low as 6-6, but I think we'll be competitive in every game, just lose to Alabama, Georgia, and one or two of Auburn/Miami/Texas A&M/Florida

We will be flat-out dominant on defense, with the offense improving over last season and continues to get better as we get deeper into the season. I think we go 9-3.

Mighty optimistic are we now?
