Whether we upgraded these positions or not, we lost: starting QB (Tommy), starting LT (Phillips), starting C (D. Williams), starting RG (Reese), starting TE (Farrod), 2 starting WR (Guidry and Thomas) on offense. On defense, we lost starting DE (Rivers), senior DT (Autry), NG (Lovett), LB (Willie), LB (Washington), Safety (Brian Cole), Safety (Landrews), CB (Dantzler), CB (Tyler Williams) and CB/Safety (Jarrian).
LSU was dead last like 130th in returning production on both sides of the ball. Guess what, we were around 115th. That ain't no damn excuse.
We broke in an ENTIRE new staff this offseason.
They bring in 4 and 5 stars to replace guys. We insert walk-ons and low 3-stars.
They're just lucky we turned it over 4 times or we woulda beat them by 20-21 points.
