It does look like a hit job. Seems like having three DTs drafted should count for something in recruiting. I agree that it might be better to avoid mercenaries, but LSU still needs DTs.

Still not sure about Texas, but we'll see how it goes.

I watched a lot of those Tuesday and Wednesday MAC games. But it's probably difficult to schedule games that don't conflict with the P4. If they could solve the scheduling conflicts, I would watch a G5 tournament.

Three won't cut it. They need at least four wins. They really need to get hot and win five of six, because even four might not cut it.

Yeah, it did to me, too. But I posted it anyway. I do think it's Georgia, then everyone else. Georgia has possibly the best QB in the SEC, the most talent-laden team around him, and a coaching staff second to none. They look like the obvious favorite.

Tier 1: Georgia 12-0 Tier 2: LSU 12-0, because they don't play Georgia Mizzou 12-0, because they don't play Georgia Alabama 11-1, because they have to play Georgia Ole Miss 11-1, because they have to play Georgia Tennessee 11-1, because they have to play Georgia Texas 11-1, because they have to play Georgia Tier 3: Everyone else, except Vandy Tier 4: Vandy

Doesn't matter. As long as McAfee is there, I'm not watching.

Most of those only had to not screw up and let the talent around them win games. But I agree Aaron Murray was a great college QB.

Yes, Maason Smith is a project, but the upside is too high to ignore. He could have developed more at LSU. Now he'll develop at Jacksonville.

Coates, Marshall and company defeating A&M in 2013. The video needs Springsteen singing "Glory Days".

True. We need that, and more. A&M will be tough, but the others are manageable.

"LSU’s offense won’t have a dramatic regression in a post-Jayden Daniels world" Maybe a slight regression. Kelly repeatedly said that the competition between Daniels and Nussmeier was tight, and several LSU fans preferred Nussmeier. Then Daniels came alive during the 2023 season, and I doubt that Nussmeier could have had a Heisman season. But he's ready to lead the offense, no doubt.

He may have played a few snaps against LSU, but I'd have to go watch the game again to know for sure. I know the players that did play against Will Campbell didn't do squat.

Impressive, but his receivers were wide open. He might live up to the hype.

I'm old enough to remember watching him play for the Rams. Good QB. RIP.

The defense did a lot better after Nussmeier left the game, for what it's worth.

LSU has been pitiful. Astonishing drop considering their recruiting. The bright side is they have some promising freshmen.

Probably a knee-jerk reaction. A spring game is not an indicator of a freshman QB's future. Occasionally one lives up to the hype.

Agreed. They really need the DTs. Maybe they can do without the extra RB. They have a few months to weed the roster.

LSU is looking for a RB and a couple of DTs.

To be fair, when you have speedy WRs running fly patterns and a QB who can find them, it probably doesn't matter much who is trying to defend them. The offense may take a small step back, but it's going to be dangerous again. I just want to see some improvement on defense.

I think you're probably right. The defensive performance last year had to be mostly poor coaching and poor scheme, because the players couldn't have been that bad. I agree about the WRs, which is why I want to see our CBs against them. Should be interesting.

Good article. I also want to see the CBs against our WRs.

Very thin at DT. Yes, I think more 3-4 fronts can be expected. For the third time under Kelly, LSU will have to hit the portal for defensive players, including possible starters. On offense, a bit thin at RB.

A football article?

"Our goal is to publish the highest quality and most entertaining content for the passionate college football fan." So we get an ACC basketball article.

Way too early to make judgments. We don't know what form it would take, which programs would be in which divisions, what the salary caps would be, and so on. A lot of stuff to iron out.

Here we go. First steps toward the inevitable.

I think it's like the article said. Williams is putting out signs that he doesn't want Chicago, so Chicago is looking to the next best option. Chicago could draft Williams and try to trade him, but they need a QB.

I think the teenagers would grow up in a hurry. The system would be basically the same as the NFL system, and NFL owners would expect them to honor their college contracts. Most of these kids know what's expected of them and behave accordingly.
