Improving Defense

I have high confidence in D Spears. That being said I guess I also had confidence in Sage the past few years waiting for him to breakout. Spears is a 5 star guy coming into his second year. I kinda hope they test him and he makes them pay. One more day. Let's get it.

I agree with you. It seems BK puts a much bigger emphasis on experience over talent than previous LSU coaches. From what I remember the best players played, even if that meant true freshman. I like BK, obviously I want things to go well for us, but just some examples Josh Williams (who i loved) was the experienced player and many believed Caden Durham was the more talented. Josh Williams got more touches and could have been due to his pass protection and reliability, however this is just one example of what looks like a more talented player not seeing the field as often... I say that because im not sure that would have happened in the past under previous coaches at LSU. Keep in mind i could be completely wrong. Just seems BK leans heavy on experience and I don't think LSU has been built like that. Another example could be said for our safeties sage and burns last year, it was probably safer to go with them over spears, but spears should be more talented than Burns and Sage. And your example with linebackers, yes I agree West is not the most talented and if he starts it would be due to experience. Back in my day(ha ha), if you were still at LSU as a senior its because you weren't talented enough to go pro and that you needed to be pasted up on the depth chart, but its a different LSU now a days ha ha cheers cheers ??
