LSU a hot topic among this group of bloggers if nothing else you gotta love this line-- "the Gary Crowton Variety Hour: 3-4 years and a pile of dust" "Who will be the biggest disappointment of the 2010 season? Russ: Team or Player? Or Coach? ... Or we could go with LSU’s entire two deep Defensive Line, which is so young it should have mandatory nap time. ... Instead, we’re taking the easy way out: LSU’s QB Jordan Jefferson will be the biggest disappointment of 2010. All of the pieces are in place in Red Stick, except for a steady signal caller. Jefferson struggled throughout his sophomore campaign in virtually every aspect of the position – coverage recognition, counting down his receivers, accurate passing, too many sacks (we’re limited by both space and decorum, or we’d continue.) Yes, he’s still a teenager. Yes, there’s a learning curve. And yes, to say the Tiger Offensive Line was weak last season is to say Angelina is ‘cute-ish’. But the line wasn’t helped by Jefferson’s penchant for holding onto the ball far too long, and he actually took a step backwards during the spring game. Make that two steps. Add to that we’re beginning to once again lose faith in the Gary Crowton Variety Hour: 3-4 years and a pile of dust. So that doesn’t help the kid. At this point there’s nothing outside of blind faith to help those on the bayou believe Jefferson will rise to the occasion and lead this talented offense. If you can only attend one SEC game in September (in-conference or out-of-conference), what game would you attend and why? Billy: LSU vs. North Carolina. ... Of course, both teams had terrible offenses in 2009, so there’s no guarantee this game will be pretty, but LSU and UNC will both be looking to show that they are ready to compete for championships in 2010. Will Carolina finally break through and cash in on all that talent, or will the Tigers serve notice that the struggles of the last two seasons are ending? Barrett: I can't wait to see LSU vs. North Carolina in the Georgia Dome on Sept. 4. It's strength vs. weakness. The Tarheels are getting a lot of hype this offseason, primarily due to a defense that is littered with NFL talent. Not an easy task for the LSU offense, which was horrifying in 2009. Can Jordan Jefferson handle the pressure? Can the LSU offensive line remember how to block? Will Stevan Ridley, Michael Ford or Richard Murphy step up at running back? All of these questions need to be answered in a hurry, because if the Tigers start off with a loss to North Carolina, things could get ugly quick in Baton Rouge.
