The only reason I think Clemson "might" be overrated is looking back at last season they lost 3 games to all of their SEC opponents:
34-3 to UGA
17-14 to USCe @ Clemson
38-24 to Texas

Their best win last season was a 3 point win over SMU @ Clemson.

I'm going into this game with no expectations and wouldn't be surprised with any outcome.

In another post CC had a link to LSU visits past and present. This dude has been here like 4 times in yr... To quote Shea, follow the visits...

Watched some of this guy's film. He's very quick, athletic and aggressive for a big man. He plays some RB too.

Didn’t have to. Have to run inside the double lines the whole time. It was interference well before the contact.

The next play was even worse. The runner was onto the grass inside the line and veered away from Jones at the last second. Jones looked pissed and motioned for him to run on the other side next time. :lol:

That last strike was generous, but we'll take it!
Would be good for them to be here next weekend when Bentley comes to visit

Who's pitching for LSU?
NVM. I see it's Anderson

Considering the way our OL always gets glazed all offseason only to underperform expectations, this is actually encouraging. I think they’ll be better than expected. But we have to get the ball out quick.

We'll see if Alex Atkins can help coach up the OL and run game.
quote:

I agree with this. OL is the biggest question mark and reportedly they didn't look good at all in spring. I think we have some talent here but I'm concerned with the entire OL. Interior will be a major concern if Curne is able to surpass the experience ahead of him. It will just kinda validate what we saw last year in the interior when Del went down.

I don't think Curne starts, but to say him starting is a serious issue is a bit dramatic.

247 write up 2 days ago:
quote:

OL Carius Curne
The spring saw rave reviews coming from the true freshman, and for good reason. Physically, Curne looks the part. Today's floor might be a good run blocker in the SEC, with his ability to punish the man across from him and get to the second level. Will he be needed? Maybe, maybe not. Curne should be able to provide playable depth at the very least, but what could a best-case scenario look like? Could Curne be a freshman All-American? What if he turns in a monster season and solidifies himself as one of the best offensive linemen in the country over the next three years? The potential is there, as well as the work ethic. Curne is a candidate to develop into a beast along the Tigers' offensive line, and it could likely happen this year.


On3 named him a 5 star late in the year which makes him one of the 32 best CFB prospects. That's impressive for an IOL who don't typically get 5 stars.

quote:

LSU head coach Brian Kelly thinks Curne is a guy that can make an instant impact. Kelly said Curne is "one of the stronger offensive linemen I've recruited in some time."

"He is physically strong at the point of attack. He dominates his opponents," Kelly said.

"He is physically ready to play in the SEC right now. We'll have to see how the other things come together, but he is physically ready to play."
quote:

I'll never understand why LSU dumped money to retain Nuss and clean the portal out but didn't do enough on the OL for him. We have some good young talent there but you can't put a premiere QB up with an unproven OL. Should've at least made more effort to get at least 1 more big name out of the portal. I think the first game is going to be ugly here regardless how well they end up as the season progresses. Campbell and Jones will be huge losses. This board doesn't seem to understand how good Campbell was.

Moore was the #1 center in the portal, Thompson was one of the top G/OT options, they think Chester will be a very good guard, Curne is considered a starter ready type FR, they are high on Adams as a starter at OT and Davis is a 5 star Soph. OT.

What more do you want them to do?
quote:

“The big talk here is the way they’ve restructured. This isn’t an autonomous coaching culture anymore. [GM] Austin Thomas has a huge role building the roster, and it showed this offseason. The internal evaluation of LSU football will look more professional; they’re going to build BK [Brian Kelly] the best roster possible to go out and win games.”

I'm kind of fascinated with the Austin Thomas quote. He's been a polarizing figure when it comes to how much he has actually contributed to the program and where.

He's done well at multiple stints at other schools and here. From the LSU page:
quote:

Thomas’s contributions during his earlier stints at LSU were pivotal for sustained success of the program. Arriving at the conclusion of the 2012 season, he helped the Tigers secure back-to-back top-five recruiting classes in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, Thomas was promoted to General Manager, making him the first in college football and SEC history. As General Manager in 2016 and 2017, Thomas oversaw all off-field aspects of the program, and was instrumental in building the staff and roster that would go on to win the 2019 National Championship.


He supposedly had a lot to do with Ole Miss' collective and may have been a driving force behind our build up of support for the portal acquisitions this past year.

Help me understand how Nuss is going to be better after the O-line was just gutted? What was it again, four guys we lost?

Most of the season spent without a true deep threat. At the end of the season with Hilton back he finished the last 3 games with 8 TDs, 1 INT and over 70% compl and 300+ per game. LSU also adds Barion Brown one of the fastest WRs in CFB.

Added size at receiver. Nic Anderson 6'4 and new starter Treydez Green at 6'7. Anderson was the TD and yards leader for OU in 23'. Bauer Sharp was the OU leading receiver in 24'.

2nd year of Caden Durham to bolster the run game. He dislocated multiple toes in game 4 and played with a plate in his shoe. Back healthy and with experience, he should have a solid season. Berry, 5 star RB is a great player in space and can be a receiving threat.

2nd year as a starter for Nuss so the game should slow down.

2nd year as a play caller for Sloan.

Top receiver Anderson returns.

That's what I have.
With Peoples being one of the top edge coaches in CFB and Forstall being a local kid will maintain a sense of optimism.

We have a great edge room this year. We need them to show out.

I'm not sold on Venables as a head coach , great defensive mind like Aranda, but head coach still question mark.

6-7, 10-3, 6-7 and 0-3 in bowl games. You have a reason to not be sold.
