Scout.com: 2009 CFN Preseason Rankings - The Top Ten "7. LSU Why LSU should be No. 1: The talent is in place. It didn't matter much last season when the Tigers couldn't overcome shoddy quarterback play, but when it comes to raw speed, athleticism, and skill, there are few teams good enough to come even close. There appears to be a renewed sense of fire after the clunker of 2008, and with several great recruiting classes starting to mature, peerless lines (at least among the starters), and a secondary, led by Chad Jones, that promises to be more aggressive, LSU should win several games by simply showing up. Why LSU isn't No. 1: Can Jordan Jefferson be the quarterback to lead LSU back to the promised land? Eventhually, but he doesn't have national title written all over him going into this season. The receiving corps isn't nearly up to LSU snuff, the secondary still needs to make more big things happen, even if it does appear to be better, and for all the talent up front, especially on the offensive line, the depth isn't there. A rash of injuries could quickly destroy the team, and a bout with interceptions (again) could be just as lethal.. Relative Strengths: Linebacker, Defensive Line Relative Weaknesses: Secondary, Quarterback" etc...

Re: LSU #5: CFN Preseason now that i sit and think about it for a little bit.... lafell, tolliver, randle. maybe they don't have the names doucet, bowe or reed, but saying that they're not "up to LSU snuff" is a bit precarious i think. lafell has proven himself IMO. i believe tolliver is going to have a breakout season based on what i've seen in the past, and it's only a matter of time before randle is in the spotlight. LSU has enough athletes that they can put almost ANYONE lining up in the slot and it'll make an opponent's secondary tremble. simply covering lafell, and tolliver, and not paying full attention to randle will be a terrible mistake (for them.) then with the possibilities you gain by playing holliday or k.williams out of the backfield... then richard dickson. i know that they had to choose something to pick on, but IMO the receivers shouldn't be it.
