It’s last year’s Northwestern game all over again
It feels like that 23 season was a long, long time ago.
The 23 team won the CWS without Skenes pitching in the 3 games with UF in the finals. They also played a much better Wake and UF team vs Tenn playing Aggie and UNC. The UF blowout was Jay setting up for the final game which was 18-4. Tenn won their final 6-5.

What caught my attention was an interview where he said he’s been going to LSU games since he was 3 years old and would consider a PWO to LSU over his FBS scholarship offers.

Maybe he's a kid that can sit on the roster and develop then. If he's a 1st team all-state in TX, he has to have potential.
Kent St will be interesting to follow. They finished 38-17 last season but didn't make the regionals. Starting off with a solid effort vs LSU and taking 2 of 3 @Tenn bodes well for them.

Dropped Out: Louisville (15)

Couple interesting observations:
-6 SEC teams in Top 10 and 12 in Top 25
-Only 4 teams in Top 12 remain undefeated and 9 in Top 25
-OU was the biggest riser from 21st to 13th

All very early and doesn't mean much at this point, but I'm always curious to watch which teams stay undefeated the longest. The real season doesn't start until league play.

What's impressive about it is this team is being extremely patient at the plate. Taking walks, working counts, playing small ball and hitting bombs. There's a tendency to try to get the "big hit" against lesser teams and so far this team has shown great plate discipline.
yep. Tenner is unravelling. :lol:

Curiel is struggling a bit on 2 out hitting. Was .125 before that out.
Way, way too early to tell, but if I had to guess I would say LSU doesn't win the SEC because they have too many new players, but finishes strong with good momentum. They host a super and get to WS. At that point it comes down to how Jay manages his pitching rotation and I think he's the best in the business at that. All this to say that LSU has a solid shot.

Last years unit didn’t look like a natty unit, until suddenly it was.

I think they have a lot of talented pitchers. I think they will be strong enough when the time comes.

I think the team overall is talented enough to win a natty. Will they?
Idk yet….

Yep. Last year's natty team was swept by Auburn and run ruled by Northwestern.

All I know is that Jay will have his team ready to compete at the end of the season.
Let Corey train up Mathieu

Fire Javi?

It’s a stark contrast.

You could even say Kiffin is the Tony Stark of CFB. Wealthy, eccentric, genius, playboy. :pimp:
quote:

Yeah your right, other than him and Lacatoure there were no other reliable DT that year and both probably played over 80% of the meaningful snaps. Unsurprisingly the defense was not great that year

Maason Smith logged significant playing time his FR season:

quote:

As a freshman, he started four of nine games, earning Freshman All-America honors and a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team with 19 tackles and five tackles for loss.


If it wasn't for a freak accident in the 1st qtr of the opening game the following season he was considered a top DT in the SEC.

Richard anderson is considered that good.
quote:

Lester is a known idiot on these boards.

Will was a candidate for the all-rookie team before the injury as some other posters pointed out. I guess Lester and the other idiots on here don’t think he deserves any slack for injuring his MCL late in the year. His performance dipped after the injury.

Year 2 will tell us what he’s really made of.

There does seem to be a running theme on this board that injuries are an excuse, not causation for a player's dip in performance.

He definitely has the talent and drive to be very successful at the CFB level. Would love to see a local kid do great things at LSU.

Please. No 5'-10 QB's. I don't care how talented if they can't see over SEC linemen.

So you don't want us taking Peyton Houston?
Watched his highlights. Tall, upright runner. Good speed, but not a second gear type. Looks like they used him in the pass game a lot.

Reminds me of Jeremy Hill; although, he was thicker coming out of HS (around 220)
I hope we land him. Ruffino went on and on about how this kid is "Patrick Peterson good".
So is he going to play football or take over for the Tiger Stadium DJ? :lol:
