    Yes I think it would be better losing to mcneese early and beating the gumps. Remember most people forget what happens early in the year. If we lose that game and run the table we are in the NC picture no question IMO

    Also mcneese is out of conf.

    There are always going to be moments of greatness whenever LF7 runs the ball for LSU.

    I believe that by most fans and the team's perspective this season was mediocre. A major disappointment to me for sure, it harkened back to the last several years of Cholly Mac where we beat the crummy teams on our schedule lost to the two good teams on our schedule and split with the 3 other mediocre teams we played.

    Very similar to the previous two seasons, and I have to say I am thoroughly disappointed in our program. This year needed to be a year of reaffirmation for Les and the program. It fell woefully short. I sooo wish we would have said goodbye to Les and gotten Herman and Aranda.

    Unfortunately, this is going to end up like finding not quite enough of a $100 bill to make it worth anything

    I was just saying that today. Oh what a perfect championship winning marriage.

    Now we have to go back to enduring a 13-10 loss to Alabama because moron still can't produce an offense.

    LSU should beat Alabama next season. The Stars haven't been aligned like they will be next year since 2006. The question is will they? Will water head finally figure out that in order to beat them with Saban at the helm you must be able to throw the football. Which will mean whomever is slinging the rock prior to that game will need as much in game passing reps as possible. You don't have to air out 50 times a game, you must have a quarterback that can go out and win that game for you unless your defense and special teams are dominant and even then victory isn't guaranteed.

    OK, I'm going to take a crack at out 2-deep entering 2016. This assumes no true freshmen crack the lineup, and also assumes Hawkins, Pocic, Beckwith and White all go pro.

    XR - Malachi Dupre, Jazz Ferguson
    LT - Maea Teuhema, K.J. Malone
    LG - Josh Boutte, Garrett Brumfield
    C - Andy Dodd, William Clapp
    RG - William Clapp, Adrian Magee
    RT - K.J. Malone, Toby Weatherby
    TE - DeSean Smith, Colin Jeter
    YR - Travin Dural, Trey Quinn
    ZR - Tyron Johnson, D.J. Chark
    QB - Brandon Harris, Danny Etling
    TB - Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice
    FB - John David Moore, Bry'keithon Mouton

    Assuming a full-time conversion to Aranda's 3-4
    DE - Davon Godchaux, Frank Herron
    NG - Christian LaCouture, Greg Gilmore
    DE - Lewis Neal, Tashawn Bower
    OLB - Arden Key, Grant Leger
    ILB - Duke Riley, Devin Voorhies
    ILB - Sione Teuhema, Devin Voorhies
    OLB - Ronnie Feist, Donnie Alexander
    CB - Kevin Tolliver II, Dwayne Thomas
    CB - Donte Jackson, Ed Paris
    SS - Jamal Adams, Corey Thompson
    FS - Ricky Jefferson, John Battle

    Needless to say, the big issue here is linebacker. Take out the seniors and Beckwith, and we don't even have 8 LBs on the roster. I've converted Key and Teuhema from ends and moved Feist back to LB from FB.

    Any chance that miles gets "retired" and Aranda is being groomed for the HC gig?

    I think you have TE wrong, Dillon Gordon will be your 1, then Jeter, then Smith. No need for a pass catching tight end in this offense. Also, with your line backing corps, Jesus we are going to suck if that's our rotation.

    Gordon is a senior, but if he is granted another year I would have him number one. On your linebacker comment.....yes
