Until LSU gets consistent QB play they WILL NOT win the West. While Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson were far from the best, the found a way to manage the game (excluding the National Title game). That's what LSU couldn't do last season.

no. they didn't win last season because their best players were true freshmen and sophomores without significant SEC experience. this is the first season in forever that LSU's defense was not decimated by early departures to the NFL. all that inexperienced young talent are now sophomores and juniors with significant SEC experience.

just remember that in the last 3 years, only 4 schools have had top 10 recruiting classes EACH and EVERY season. Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, and..........LSU!!! don't sleep on them tigers.

In the last 3 years, LSU has been behind TAMU, Auburn, and Alabama in the West

Their coaching staff has probably decreased with Chavis gone and Cameron/Miles still controlling the offense.

LSU will NOT be anything special until they get a QB. You NEED a QB in the West.

2009-2012 had some of the weakest recruiting talent is the last 10 years. lsu didn't yet their typical share of nfl caliber dudes on defense. the last 3 recruiting cycles, however, have been loaded, and LSU has been top 6 each season.

they're gon be back to the old ways this year.

In the last 3 years were 3-0 against Texas A&M and 2-1 against ur Auburn Tigers. The only team that has been beating us is Bama and 2 of those game we had them beat. This years defense might not be as good as 2010 but it's damn near close the only question mark is at DE but our secondary is going to be among the best in the country.

At the QB talk as if we need a Jamis Winston. All we need is someone who can throw it up there





Btw McMillan is going to pass Jennings up in the depth chart

@Swagnificent you can't have it both ways. They had top 10 classes every year like you said, and they still weren't shyt. Florida didn't have that type of talent other than a select few of players yet had a better defense over that span. Texas A&M wasn't getting that type of talent yet were better offensively over that span. LSU is just fukking bad coaching wise. And that staff is still there. They haven't had an elite team (top 10) since 2011, otherwise known as before the SEC had amazing offenses left and right. When I say LSU's defense isn't going to be comparable to that year ever again, it's because the SEC has evolved. LSU is NOT going to be able to depend on that old man style of ball anymore. And if they really want a SEC Championship, Harris might have to be a little more than a game manager, which unless he's evolved, I don't think he's capable of being. All I KNOW is that LSU hasn't had a cohesive team (good enough for championship fame) in a good ass while, and this hype y'all delivering ain't to different than 2013 when they ended up playing fukking Iowa.

2012-2014
LSU: 28-11, 0 SEC titles, 0 division titles, apparently 3 top 10 recruiting classes
Auburn: 23-17, 1 SEC title, 1 division title, 2 top 10 classes
Alabama: not really necessary, 2 SEC titles, 2 division titles, again not necessary class wise
Texas A&M: 28-11, 0 SEC titles, 0 division titles, 3 top 10 recruiting classes

So LSU has less national success than Auburn or Alabama, is at the same level as TAMU (who hasn't been in a SEC title yet) and is 1-2 in that span in bowl games (their sole win being over Iowa)

These are just stats, they're really neither here nor there because you know LSU has really been the 3rd best team in the division over that time. Which isn't bad if you weren't getting as good recruits as almost anyone. That level of mediocrity shouldn't fly this year, and Les deserves the hot seat if they aren't at least 2nd in the division.

Who gives a shyt about the last 3 years tho lets talk about today and beyond. But if you wanna talk about the last 3 years don't forget to mention how we've put out the most pros. How we've developed some of the best young talent in the NFL. And if it wasn't for players going pro you know shyt would be completely different.

Hol up

My question is what is so different in the future That's different from the past?
Les Miles down syndrome ass having a hand in the offense? Check
an offensive scheme resembling something from 1995? Check
A talented defense (that has yet to get steamrolled)? Check
A bunch of great receivers that ain't got not ne'er a nikka to throw to them? Check
A supposedly really good black dual threat QB that could start as a FR? check

Other than losing your best DC in school history, I don't really see the difference b

if y'al have a good QB, then y'all should be in the top discussion. That's the only thing holding LSU back every year.

The difference is we didn't lose a bunch of players to the pros as past years. The difference is we haven't had this many talented players at skill position in a very long time. And why do people keep downplaying Brandon Harris

Brandon Harris could be very efficient. You're just gonna need more than that if you plan on being ahead of Auburn, and potentially Miss St, Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas, and TAMU

 

[mozichrome]

if b. miller was gonna go to UA you'd think he'd been left instead of being at osu participating in pyramid schemes

 

[RammerJammer]

Go ahead and make that move Saban

 

[smitty22]

Believe in Finebaum rumors

Braxton Miller, although I believe most of the story has been taken out of context, it has me interested.
