You may be right but the thing that I notice from your observation is that its just the opposite now. Auburn is down and Bama is up!
I bet this thread eventually gets buried, forgotten and resurrected around November when bowl reps are spotted drooling on themselves right here in Tiger Stadium. Where's the BCSNC played this year? :LSU231: :hihi:.
Ole Miss, Alabama, and Florida all lost more starters than we did. Everything I read about LSU's spring practices leads me to believe that the defense is back to 2007 levels. And there are only two areas of concern, fullback and center. Yet neither of those concerns are unsolvable, even if it means waiting till summer to do so. QB will be fine, whoever wins the starting nod. It's a 100% improvement from last year, when our most experienced QB was a transfer from Harvard's junior varsity team. So what I'm trying to say is, if everything comes together, this year's LSU Tiger team can win the SEC west, the SEC CG, and the BCS title game. It's all within their grasp. They just have to go out and take it. :tigereye:
